STUDENT ADMISSION
Applicants are considered on the basis of academic qualification, attitudes toward continuous quality learning, and good character. GTC does not discriminate against applicants and students in its educational programs or activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, sex, gender identity and orientation or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local law.
GTC’s selection of students is also based on matching personal characteristics and career goals with the school’s philosophy and programs. We see these characteristics: empathy, motivation, integrity, capacity to succeed as a scholar and commitment to the goals of the institution. GTC looks for these attitudes and characteristics in prospective students because they distinguish them as individuals who are likely to succeed as students, citizens of the community and as productive leaders who strive to improve themselves, the community and society.

GTC was my first venture back into higher education since getting out of the military, and they have not only been extremely helpful as an online education institution, but I have received more support from them than any physical campus I have ever attended. If you are unsure about online school, GTC will make sure it goes as smoothly as possible for you to pursue online schooling, and help you succeed and prepare you for many of the industry standards for higher online education.
