School Details

The school maintains three added campus locations, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and Seattle, along with an online program. This private nonprofit university targets undergraduate and postgraduate programs in liberal arts, sciences, and professional studies.

Golden Gate University online is fueled by “cutting edge course content,” and, “real-world, real-time” instructors that bring exdivertise to the classroom. Today, the university hosts thousands of online students across the globe. Limited class sizes provide a seminar-style atmosphere with asynchronous discussions. Golden Gate offers undergraduate and postgraduate online degrees in a myriad of disciplines.

GGU online learning benefits:

  • Accredited online, weekend, and evening classes

Accreditation & Licensing

Golden Gate University is accredited by:

WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC)

The WASC Senior College and University Commission accredits universities in California and Hawaii, including Stanford, University of San Francisco, UC Berkeley, San Jose State. GGU has never chosen to apply for the optional AACSB accreditation because its requirements are not consistent with their mission and commitment to have students learn from former and current practitioners rather than pure scholars. To do this, Golden Gate focuses on hiring full and part-time faculty who have a strong practitioner background and bring their practical experience to the classroom. AACSB rules are not consistent with this approach and, unfortunately, many standard rankings such as US News & World Report base their information on AACSB. With more than 68,000 alumni, we are confident that GGU prepares students with knowledge and skills that can be used throughout their careers.
