Empowering
7,200
Learners And Counting
Our accessible and disruptive model has led to remarkable growth. Applications have grown by 9x since 2016, and more than 7,200 learners are enrolled this year. To date, more than 6,700 have graduated from our online programs.
“Despite the bare-bones price, Gies put its most senior faculty into the online courses… All for a price at which rival programs are generally stripped down digital textbooks with no live classes, trips, or electives. ”
