About GCU
Founded
in 1949, Grand Canyon University developed into a premier teacher
education college, and soon formed other exceptional programs in the
nursing, business, Christian studies, and arts &
sciences.
As the city of Phoenix expanded around Grand Canyon
University, the university grew along with the city to become one of
the premier private universities in the nation. Grand Canyon
University consistently maintains its tradition of excellence in all
disciplines, and now offers that same exceptional tradition through
its online education programs, which began in 2000.
Grand
Canyon University was ranked number one by the Online Education
Database (oedb.org) in 2007.
