Evening program scheduling often depends on the policies of your college and the requirements of your particular degree program. At GCU, we’ve arranged an evening schedule that best meets the needs of our nontraditional students while supporting them. Most evening cohorts will take one class at a time, meeting for one evening per week. This allows our students to continue working and meeting other commitments while still providing for sufficient time to work through the coursework throughout the week.
At GCU, students meet once per week for evening degree programs. Our evening classes start at different times in the evening, but you can expect each class to meet for four hours per week.
