Night Classes and Evening Degree Programs at GCU

Classes Meet Just One Night Per Week

Night classes at Grand Canyon University can provide the convenience and flexibility necessary for you to earn your degree in the evenings. GCU offers select bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral evening degree programs that you can take on campus. Evening college courses are designed for career professionals to study and work with other peers after working hours — one class at a time, one night per week — in a classroom setting so you can gain the most out of your academic journey.

Throughout the week, students log into GCU’s online platform to complete assignments and participate in online discussion forums to prepare for the weekly in-person meeting. This can help maximize the amount of time you spend on the subject while still working to graduate on a timely basis. Because the classes meet just one night per week, this allows you more time for work and life outside of school.

In Fall 2023, the top five majors of evening cohort students were the Master of Science in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Business Analytics, Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Master of Social Work.1 Explore all our available night classes and evening degree programs and start on your path today.
