Here at Grand Canyon University, we understand that knowledge is power. GCU empowers students by offering individual college courses that can be taken online. Our individual courses allow for students to reach their goals and explore another area of study without compromising their already busy schedules. These individual courses provide a bridge to completing the bigger picture of a quality education, and students can enjoy the convenience and flexibility that comes with taking these courses online.

Who Should Take Individual Courses at Grand Canyon University?

Individual courses are designed to fulfill the needs of students who are missing a prerequisite class, need to meet a job specification, need training in a specific area or just really want to learn. While life can be busy, we believe that you should be able to achieve your dreams, and taking an individual course might put you one step closer. Most students take these courses in order to complete prerequisites, some take them to be more knowledgeable about a certain subject and others take classes to test out the academic waters. The possibilities are endless!

We have a vast selection of courses, and our most popular courses are in areas such as teaching, accounting, science and counseling.

How do Individual Courses Work?

Our individual courses are offered online, giving you the opportunity to complete your coursework in the comfort of your home.
