What Makes
Online Learning at GGU
Different?Better?Practical?Relevant?Right for You?
Even before the pandemic, GGU was pioneering and perfecting remote learning. Since 1998, GGU has been combining market-driven academics with the latest educational technology. That’s nearly 30 years of experience in getting online education right. Golden Gate University offers online education that is accredited by WASC Senior Colleges and Universities Commission. Virtual courses are taught by the same faculty and are held to the same rigorous academic standards as courses offered in traditional classroom settings. We offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs as well as career-advancing certificate programs fully online. Our flexible instructional modes include synchronous (same time/live) and asynchronous (own time/not live) instruction.
Remote learning at GGU is currently supported by technologies including Zoom, Microsoft, moodle, VidGrid, Panopto, and Poll Everywhere.
We were diving into the subject matter and were pushed to articulate our understanding. I can wholeheartedly say that I feel so much more confident and skillful after this online degree. I wanted a sound and strong foundation and GGU gives you that.
The online learning platform is easy to follow, and I always know what to expect. It's been a great experience!
Even though you may feel like instructors are out of your reach, they really aren’t. The instruction may be online, but when you need that reinforcement, they are there for you.
I was concerned about taking classes online and I am pleasantly surprised to find the virtual classroom experience at GGU to be highly interactive and convenient while working and going to school from home.
