Advance your career
The corporate partner scholarship program with ĢƵ opens doors to personal and professional growth, putting a degree that once seemed unattainable well within reach. Whether you’re looking to advance in your current career path or break into a new department, a degree from ĢƵ really pays. It’s been proven that weekly salaries increase exponentially with every degree or certificate obtained. Advanced degrees also help protect against unemployment.
Flexible and affordable degrees
ĢƵ understands working adults lead busy lives. Balancing a career with furthering your education is easier at ĢƵ through evening classes, six start dates each year, and both 7-week and 15-week semesters. Many professional development courses can even be taken in a self-service format.
We also recognize students often bring extensive experience to college courses. Therefore, we offer the Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) program through which students can earn college credit for valuable experience. Whether it’s through transfer college credits, previous work experience, military service, on-the-job training or community participation, CPL can save you time — and money — in the pursuit of a college degree. Turning experience into credits is easier with ĢƵ.
