More than 600 people attended GCU’s 2020 Commencement, joining in three ceremonies to celebrate nearly 200 in-person graduates.

Georgian Court University’s new Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (A.B.S.N.) degree will launch this year, giving aspiring registered nurses a faster way to earn their degree and get to work.

The U.S. Department of Education has awarded Georgian Court a new TRIO–Student Support Services grant for more than $1.69 million over the next five years to help first generation, low-income, and students with disabilities succeed in college and graduate. GCU has been a TRIO–SSS institution for 40 years.

Georgian Court will begin the fall semester with mostly online classes as part of its reopening plan, which includes hybrid/HyFlex courses.
