Why GCA
Ten things that make GCA different
Built for people who work, raise families, live abroad — and still want to study.
One course, full focus
You never juggle five courses at once. For six weeks you concentrate on one subject, finish it, receive your grade, and move on. For working adults, this single change is what makes a degree manageable.
Start without waiting
Eight blocks open every year. There is no ‘wait until September’: once you decide, you join the next block. The next starts are November 9, 2026 and January 4, 2027.
Follow along in your own language
Courses are taught in English, but you are not on your own. Every video lesson carries English captions plus subtitles in 23 other languages. You can reread a difficult concept in your own language, a rare advantage for international students.
Every course built with the same care
24 video lessons per course; each lesson comes with a reading note and worked example, 3 practice questions, a glossary and a reflection prompt. 3,000+ video lessons, 470+ hours of original content.
Fair tuition for your country
Global Access Scholarship: 40–60% off by country of legal residence, automatic, with no application, essay or competition; currency −30% rule.
What it costs at Tier 3 (60% off)
Bachelor's $7,200 · Master's $4,248 · Ph.D. $2,880 · DBA $2,592 total tuition — plus a New Student Award of an extra 50% off your first course.
No large debt, no surprises
Pay per course, no interest, no up-front program payment; refund 90% (Day 4) → 50% (Day 21).
Your past work counts
Up to 75% transfer credit (courses, certifications, micro-credentials, prior learning).
A completion path that fits you
Master's thesis/non-thesis; DBA Executive Integration or Applied Doctoral Project; Ph.D. dissertation defended via recorded presentation + live Q&A. You graduate when your final block ends, not at the end of a semester.
You are never on your own
Academic advisor + Aquinas Network Online Library (24/7, online librarian) + Help Desk 24/7.
Calculate your scholarship
The Global Access Scholarship is applied automatically based on your country of legal residence. You do not need to apply.
