Collaborative learning across disciplines
It’s a hallmark of CGU. Faculty teach and conduct research across disciplines to look at problems in new ways. You gain insight by taking courses outside your field and even pursue advanced degrees by blending programs. With a purposefully-small median class size of 9, we are able to collaborate, to innovate, to stay current.

Practice-based learning
Many of our academic programs are practice-based, so you start working in your field even as you're learning—through researching and publishing with leading faculty, completing internships, and participating in required practica. By graduation, you can show the world you know your field.
Meaningful employment
Practice-based learning means that the work you do here positions you to launch a meaningful career after graduation. You can immediately apply all you’ve learned to improve lives and transform the world.
Powerful network
Becoming a CGU student means that you are part of a network that positively impacts your studies and career. As a student, you are part of a collaborative learning cadre of peers and faculty mentors. A focus on practice-based learning engages you with a professional network even before you graduate. With an accomplished alumni network of more than 23,000 members worldwide and a supportive career development team, you have the tools to advance your career.
All graduate, all the time
CGU is the only research-extensive university in the nation devoted entirely to graduate-level education. In most other graduate schools, professors are divided between undergraduate responsibilities and their graduate students. Here, your professors are “graduate only,” meaning they are dedicated only to you and to the highest levels of teaching, scholarship, and service. All of your peers are graduate level, and they are equally committed to the pursuit of knowledge. CGU student services are targeted specifically toward a graduate-only population, so you'll find robust resources for career development, rhetoric and writing, and training future faculty.
Energetic location
Situated on a 19-acre tree-filled campus, CGU is an easy walk to public transportation and to the heart of Claremont Village, home to a host of unique restaurants, boutiques, shopping, and nightlife. Our students benefit from the vitality and opportunity of all that Southern California has to offer. Extensive resources and potential employers are in close proximity, along with plenty of recreational activities, all under the glow of the California sun.
