Grand Canyon University's Educational Alliances

Grand Canyon University's (GCU) 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. Our corporate partnerships focus on improving workforce performance, with an emphasis on offering higher education and professional development opportunities. Strategic Educational Alliances (SEA) support public, private and charter schools in addition to alternative educational establishments such as independent agencies and home schools.

The demands of business are ever-changing and organizations need skilled professionals to provide innovative solutions. University development counselors at GCU work to establish relationships with a variety of employers, including schools and districts, government agencies, hospitals and community colleges, to improve workforce performance. Our degree programs encourage you to think critically, lead effectively and demonstrate best practices appropriately.

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
• Net-price calculation of tuition and fees so you know how much your degree program will cost
• Individual assistance with enrollment and financial aid questions
• Direct bill payment arrangements for employers who provide tuition reimbursement

Join GCU's participants and give your employees access to an affordable, private Christian education. Participating employees not only gain confidence in their ability to excel in our rigorous programs, but they also come to appreciate the doors that open with an advanced degree.
