The Undergraduate program is passionate about spreading the word of what Grace Christian University has to offer. We offer an awesome referral program: if you refer someone who enrolls and they pass their first class with a grade of a C- or better, both you and the person you refer will receive a $100 Amazon gift card! If you have a friend, family member, or coworker who would benefit from this type of program, we want to serve them too. We have found that when people start with a friend or family member they are more likely to succeed.
Make sure to submit your application at the end to ensure that it is received by the Adult & Online admissions department.
