Grand Canyon University’s Educational Alliances

The Value of Our Alliances, Partners and Programs
Grand Canyon University’s Educational Alliances support the advancement of instruction and learning to prepare all student populations to succeed in the 21st century. We believe that strong education systems and outstanding educators, with the support of the community, can nurture student learning and ignite greater academic success.
Our alliances are designed to bridge the gap between school and district needs and employee skills through higher education. K12 Educational Development supports public, Christian and charter schools, in addition to alternative educational establishments such as independent agencies and homeschools.
What To Expect
In efforts to attract a diverse student population, we also offer workshops and resources to assist with the student enrollment process. University development counselors and campus representatives offer consultations and can discuss career and academic goals with your staff. Courses are offered in flexible formats – allowing a balance between home, college and work.
Additionally, we also provide:
Complimentary evaluation of transfer credits
Personalized graduation plan, including anticipated graduation date if you follow the schedule provided
A Degree Program Calculator, so you know how much your degree program may cost
Individual assistance with enrollment and financial aid questions
Direct bill payment arrangements for employers who provide tuition reimbursement
