Q: What is your accreditation?
A: Please see our Accreditation page.
Q: How much time will I need to complete my GTCU degree?
A: That depends entirely upon how you are taking your courses. Online students take their courses at home at their own pace at times/days of their own choosing. Because of this, credit-hour accumulation times vary widely, depending upon how much time a student has to devote to his/her studies. Students studying at physical campus attend classes just one day (or evening) per week for three hours of study, taking only one concentrated course at a time. The additional work required for the course, such as reading the textbooks and writing research papers as required, is done by the student at home in their own time, allowing minimum disruption of the student’s family time. Students continue to accumulate credits, generally completing 30 semester hours of credit each year. At this rate, it would take 4 years to accumulate 120 hours of credit, which is required for a bachelor’s degree. After receiving their bachelor’s degree, a high percentage of GTCU students continue advancing their education through the master’s and doctoral levels.
