Inspiring journeys

Change won't come by doing things how they've always been done.

It's going to take something uncommon to...

There are many things that can make us uncommon. Decency, respect, compassion, strength, belief - the raw ingredients that make us who we are. Uncommon doesn't have to be unachievable; it's often incremental, with room to grow. But without it - without you - change won't be possible.

So if you have an uncommon view of what really matters - an unusual desire to find your purpose and place in this world - we invite you to make GCU your home.

Creating change for future generations

It takes uncommon people to deliver the Common Good. Those prepared to do what it takes to make the world a better place. Hear from some of our students.
