  • GGU is one of California’s oldest private universities, enrolling thousands of students and representing more than 68,000 alumni. The university’s main campus is located in San Francisco with additional teaching sites in Seattle and Silicon Valley. In addition to evening and weekend classes, most courses and degrees are offered entirely online.
  • GGU is accredited by WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), the organization that accredits universities in California and Hawaii, including Stanford, University of San Francisco, UC Berkeley, and San Jose State University. WSCUC is one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States and is nationally recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). GGU has been accredited by WSCUC since 1959. In June 2019 our accreditation was reaffirmed through Spring 2025, meeting all criteria for accreditation. Golden Gate University is committed to complying with WASC’s accreditation requirements.
