Out of 3,000 colleges and universities in the US, only a few actually have programs and schedules that have the working professional in mind, and this is what GGU does best. The faculty are topnotch—they have the requisite master's or doctoral degrees, plus extensive teaching experience to boot. What makes them different, however, is that they also have significant professional experience. I'm the business program and ALL of my professors have either held positions in corporations or have run their own companies. GGU has a strong professional bent and it's evident in all its courses: they're all "applied."As a school primarily for working professionals, schedules are flexible (day, evening, weekend, off-site—name it, GGU has it); even online study is available through its highly-acclaimed Cybercampus. Note, however, that just because it's not a high-profile school doesn't mean that academics are not challenging. Since the majority of students (especially at the graduate level) are older (over 25 years old) and are being groomed for—or are already in—management, they're bright, focused, and serious. And the academic atmosphere reflects that. Having BOTH academic and professional credentials, plus the wisdom of experience, students take pride in the fact that the quality of class discussions is better than that found in the Ivy League schools. There are "traditional" college students here and they've been—surprisingly—thriving (student organizations have actually been growing), but as a rule, one shouldn't come here expecting fraternities, parties, a football team, or the other amenities that come with being in a traditional school. For the most part, GGU is for those who are already in the "real world" and who already know how their GGU education fits exactly into their careers and other lifelong goals. |
