Fulfill Your Purpose
At Grace Christian University, you can streamline your undergraduate studies directly into an online accelerated Master’s degree program through the 4+1 Program. Students may apply up to four graduate-level courses (maximum of 12 credits) to both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Completing graduate coursework as elective credits in your final years of undergraduate study allows you to earn both your Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in as little as five years.
A biblically informed education takes a student’s God-given talents, gifts, and passions and prepares them to serve effectively and immediately. At Grace we have partnerships that offer students a non-traditional path toward degree completion. Our Partnership Agreements allow students who complete these programs to have their certificate acknowledged as transfer credit at Grace Christian University. The credit amount will vary based on partnership and degree path at Grace.
Many of our students fall in love with our online community of learning. We know we are a small university and that is what makes us special. Students pursuing a Dual Degree are choosing to engage deeply with our spiritual core and pursue a degree beyond what we offer in-house.
