Life at GCU
With a 13:1 student-faculty ratio and rigorous academic programs, our students are encouraged to determine their own unique gifts and make a difference in the world. The Office of Student Development promotes a dynamic campus environment, emphasizing personal responsibility, deep respect for others, leadership development, and concern for the common good.
Embracing international experience
On the GCU campus, you can meet people who share your spirit of exploration and immerse yourself in the community by joining the Global Lions, one of the most engaged clubs on campus. The Global Lions host a variety of global awareness events each year, including an International Festival and International Education Week events. They also host Global Café talks, where international students and those returning from abroad share food, stories, and experiences from other countries and regions.
Location matters

Plus, you have easy access to two of the most diverse and busiest cities in the world. Our spectacularly beautiful campus is also just 20 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful beaches of the Jersey Shore.
