Welcome to GCU

Grand Canyon University has been helping students find their purpose and achieve their potential for more than 60 years. We continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our students, offering quality academics, a variety of student life activities and generous scholarship opportunities. At GCU, a private, Christian education can also be an affordable one.

Big things are happening at GCU. Building on our rich academic, fine arts and athletic history, we've committed more than $240 million to expanding our campus in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona. With plans for more new construction, a move up to Division I athletics and a growing student body, this is just the beginning.
