Grace Christian University

Grace Christian University seeks to develop passionate servants of Jesus Christ by personally educating students in an educational program which emphasizes the integration of biblical truth, ministry experience, and character transformation. This emphasis pervades the entire campus as the College strives to cultivate a caring learning community where Jesus Christ is exalted and students are equipped for serving the needs of church and society.

Our vision is “To be a vibrant University exalting Jesus Christ, preparing culturally intelligent students for diverse careers in the global marketplace.”

Our mission is “Graduating Godly Individuals Prepared to Serve Christ in Church and Society.”

The Grace Christian University faculty, staff, and students are committed to being a growing community. By that we mean that each of us, starting with the president, realizes that we are still in process. We are not all that God designed and purposed us to be, nor are we content with that condition. Through competent instructors committed to academic excellence, and staff and administration committed to serving and growing, we believe Grace Christian University can be used by God to change your life!

At Grace Christian University we know that you want to be an equipped professional for your future career. In order to do that, you need a degree that helps you fulfill God’s purpose in your life. The problem is that right now you’re not qualified for the position you want which can make you feel concerned about your limited opportunities. We believe you should have the tools you need to live out your God-given purpose. We understand how it feels to want something that’s just beyond your reach. That’s why we’ve spent the past 80 years helping students earn degrees that equip them for their purpose. Whether you are interested in attending campus or online we have an option to fit you.

The Financial Aid Office seeks to meet the financial needs of our students through grants, scholarships, Work-Study, and loans. Institutional scholarships are awarded based on performance and need. Living and learning together happens both inside and outside the classroom. Whether you live on campus or commute, getting involved in the Grace community is a great way to see what God has in store for you. Come and be part of what’s happening at Grace. Grace Christian University puts God at the center of everything: from academics to campus life to off-campus leadership.

Our close-knit campus offers an idyllic place to focus on what matters most. Your time spent here will bring you closer to your career goals, while bringing you closer to God. Grace’s inspired instructors will become more than teachers…they will act as mentors throughout your journey and beyond graduation. Because although you may arrive as a stranger, you’ll leave as family.

Navigating life can be challenging for many of us; college students included. Student Services are here to help Grace students navigate the difficulties of college life and beyond. We’re excited to celebrate your successes with you!

Grace Career Services assists students and alumni with career guidance and readiness, polishing a resume, as well as practicing for that important interview.

Grace is a caring community. Students will find many people on campus to help carry their burdens. Sometimes the burdens of life need more than the listening ear of a roommate, RA or faculty member. The counselors at the Student Counseling Center are here to help students take the next steps forward.

Grace Christian University’s Online degrees offer associates, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in a 100% online format designed for busy adults. Our passionate instructors will guide you through your degree to develop practical skills that will impact your career and faith and prepare you for the global marketplace.

We’ve designed our Online and Graduate programs to benefit students in three primary ways; lower cost, smaller class sizes, and a Christ centered focus. We realize there are many people interested in pursuing their calling and need to be preparing for that special career, yet are held back by the need to balance family, career, finances and faith. You’ll find that Grace has created a dynamic and fully accredited Online and Graduate program to fit people’s busy lives.

Our goal is to refine, enhance, and strengthen your ministry through courses that are biblical, practical and relevant. We have created a stimulating campus and online environment where instructors are readily available to assist students, and cohort groups are formed to provide peer perspective and discussion. By blending active learning and theory, students are pushed beyond the self study model to engaging real life situations and real life feedback.

Scholarships and grants are the most desirable types of funding to receive, since they don’t need to be repaid. Scholarships are awarded by the College and/or other outside sources, while grants come from Federal and State sources. A recipient of a Grace Christian University institutional scholarship must be enrolled full-time on Grace’s campus. Scholarship amounts are divided equally into two semesters, fall and spring. Students who are dual enrolled with Grace and another institution may have some scholarships prorated.
