The school is specifically for people who are very focus in being a CPA or lawyer. I came from a huge big school that has its own highway inside the campus to a small boutique school that has almost nothing. But this is where it counts, right in the middle of the financial district. Going to class is like going to work, carrying a suitcase (at least at that time). No partying. Only studying. If you want to have a good time for being young, then go somewhere else. If you want to be a CPA and lawyer, this is the place.

I completed my doctorate at GGU and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. I was first drawn to the program because it was the only fully-accredited doctorate in finance in the Bay Area that could be pursued part-time by someone who also had a career. The experience proved to be so much more than that, however.. The full-time faculty who run the program are passionate about what they do, offering students the opportunity to engage in significant personal growth and deep learning. The faculty are also well suited to GGU's mission, combining, as they do, first class academic credentials with significant leadership experience in the eal world.\ There are two distinct phases to doctoral study and GGU's program delivers the best of both. The first phase is focused on core doctoral seminars that provide the tools and conceptual framework for understanding and conducting formal research. It was here that I came to fully appreciate the nature of the academic enterprise and begin to master the tools and techniques for its pursuit. The second phase involves the development of a research question that will result (if you're sufficiently diligent) in the production of a formal dissertation. This is the apprenticeship phase, where you work closely with your dissertation committee and, most especially, your chair. My own committee chair, Paul Fouts, was at once both guide and mentor, sending me back again-and-again to reexamine my sources, rewrite my proposals, and revisit the evidence. Each time, my dissertation got better. In the end, I was able to produce work that I believe will have a real impact on my profession. The doctoral program is probably the smallest part of what GGU does, but it represents the best of the University's mission and values. Beyond that, I can heartily recommend GGU to anyone who seeks to improve their skills and advance their career through any any of the University's many degree and certificate programs.

My time here was slightly disappointed. First, the school's credentials aren't as well recognized compared to the other schools in the area, so many students have a hard time getting a job compared to students from other schools. Second, the school says they offer help to get students job, but all they do is review your resume and have you go out and find your own opportunities. Third, the counselors I had for business, kept mixing me up with other students and when it came time to discuss a problem, she'd forget the issue. She also told me I didn't need a class and then said I did. After taking the class, I found out I really didn't have to and wasted an entire semester with this school. Fourth, the resources may seem like alot at first, but the truth is, what really matters are resources for certifications. They don't have many resources that'll help and do not offer certifications for most programs. Fifth, the teachers and systems aren't as reliable. I find that some professors don't like it when you have questions. Some make you go to class to listen to the lecture and then still make you do an entire online course (might as well do online only). Some have a power trip and would make excuses for being late on grading or make \adjustments\ to their grading on the syllabus after class is finished, messing up your entire semester. Most teachers are never up to date on their online courses. They either don't fix the dates for due dates or they don't open the assignments or just not clear on their direction. Sixth, there are a lot of students that are international here that get discriminated against. It's very disheartening when they have to report that their teachers are saying rude remarks or making jokes about anyone of color. Bottom line is, I regret coming here. While there were some great teachers, there weren't enough to count past one hand. Don't make the same mistake as I did. Get your money's worth elsewhere.
