What Our Students Have to Say

“I wanted a high-quality program from a reputable school, but I travel quite a bit as an auditor for Ernst and Young. My wife is attending the PhD program on campus, and I am studying online with the same expert faculty that she’s had in her classes. Even though the format or structures are different, the Claremont quality is there and you get the same degree as you would if attending in person.”

Michael Munayco, online student
MS in Information Systems & Technology

“I’ve had a great experience so far. The curriculum is diverse and interesting, and flexible to tailor projects to your personal interests. And while it was not a highly influential factor, I love not having a commute to school. Many of the other students have work experience in some aspect of the MSIST curriculum, and a classroom with students from many backgrounds has yielded insightful conversations.”

The CGU Experience, Expanded

A hallmark of a CGU education is the ability to participate in purposefully-small classes that give you the maximum amount of interaction with your peers and your professor. This not only contributes to a powerful learning environment, but also forges strong peer and mentoring relationships that last long after you have completed the class.

The CGU online experience focuses on the same type of intimate, collaborative learning that is found on campus:

  • Synchronous online class sessions that give you valuable face-to-face time with your professor and your peers
  • Interactive, intimate classes taught by the same faculty that teach on campus
  • Collaborative hands-on class projects that foster meaningful interaction with peers around the country and the world
