We have available scholarships and tuition discounts to employees of your district in each of the programs listed below. This discount is only available locally, so please contact me directly, and I’ll assist you with the next steps (Zach.riccardelli@gcu.edu).  Also, please let me know if you are interested in joining the same program with a colleague or friend. You can join as a group, that way you’re in the same classes, and can complete the program together.

  • All programs are 100% online and take approximately 15-18 months to complete 
  • The application is free, and when using FAFSA, students won’t begin making payments until completing their program. 
  • Courses are taken one at a time with no designated class times.  Seats are first come, first served (pending acceptance). 
  • There are 25 seats available for each start date, and the deadline to apply is 10 days before class starts. 

We also have special options for Teacher Assistants.  If they have an undergraduate degree, we have a program that leads to teacher licensure with Master’s pay in 21 months.  In addition, we have many Bachelor’s programs available in education and can accept transfer credits. 

Please let me know if you have additional questions, and I’ll gladly be a resource!
