“GCU is different than other higher education providers in that it teaches you
how to be a leader and to lead at a higher level. It increases your leadership
capacity as you learn to lead yourself, others, teams and organizations. GCU
creates a bridge between the Ivory Tower (business and leadership theory) and
Main Street (where people work and live).”
– David Page, Director of Church Planting, Evangelical Free Church of America
Graduated with EMBA in 2009

reap the benefits of your degree sooner.

financing your gcu education
One size never fits all and the options for financing your education
are no exception. Fortunately, at GCU we are here to walk you
through the various options so you can find the one that best fits
your needs. Your financial options include financial aid, scholarships,
direct bill and military benefits.
direct bill
Students may have employers offering to pay school tuition directly. In these
situations, the employer will create an account with GCU so the Student
Accounting Office can send bills directly to them. This payment relationship
bypasses the students completely; however, students must have their
employers complete a Direct Bill Voucher to submit with their application.
