Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft, predicts that campus-based Universities will become less crucial thanks to the Internet…..According to him, five years from now, you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world on the Web, which will be better than what you can find in any single university. He predicts that only technology can bring the current average annual university education cost of $50,000 a year over four years —a $200,000 education down, not just to $20,000 but to $2,000 in a few years from now.’
GOU is living proof of this prediction.
Employers are finding value in students who developed the job-relevant skill base required for the 4th Industrial Revolution future job market.

Studies show that over 62% of prospective university students say they would be more likely to enroll in institutions offering programs and certificates tailored to the new economy.
GOU is offering such programs across key fields
A survey shows that 68% of American college students think college costs are too high given their current learning environments, while 71% are worried about covering the costs of college education because of the high college fees of the traditional universities.
At GOU, we believe that a high standard and quality college education should not necessarily be expensive and out of reach to prospective learners. We ensure that we provide affordable quality university education to all who desire to go to university.
GOU programs don’t have a semester-based delivery structure; instead, they are flexible and modular-based to allow each learner to go through the ‘enroll-take-do-complete’ process for each of the modules of their program at their own pace towards the completion of the entire program on schedule
The modular ‘enroll-take-do-complete’ process enables learners to enroll in each module, take the module towards meeting its learning outcomes, do and submit the assessment requirements of the module, and complete the learning process by reviewing the assessment scores, grades, and feedback and ensuring that the learner has achieved the expected learning outcomes of the module.
We don’t just give students an education and experiences that set them up for success in a career. We help them succeed in their career—to discover a field they’re passionate about and dare to lead it.
