Things You Didn’t Know About Grantham University

By Brandon Swenson May 15, 2020

You’re probably already familiar with Grantham University’s 100% online education model, which provides convenient and accessible postsecondary programs for students nationwide. You might even be aware of our tuition rates, which are some of the lowest in the nation.¹

You may not know, however, that Grantham provides a wealth of resources for our students outside the virtual classroom. Or that we offer all current students and alumni access to career guidance to support them at every step between choosing a career path and negotiating a salary.

Here are some of our best-kept secrets for helping our students achieve success.

Technology tips and tricks

The benefits of distance learning go beyond flexible scheduling and affordable tuition. With all the technology advances available to us today, it’s never been easier to get an education that can transform your life.

For instance, did you know that e-books can read to you? Think of how often that could come in handy! Catch up on your reading for class while folding the laundry. Listen to study guides during your daily commute. Enjoy lectures while you’re on the treadmill or taking the dog for a walk.

We know that as adults pursuing postsecondary education, many of our students have families, full-time jobs and plenty of other responsibilities. With 100% online programs, Grantham strives to put all the necessary resources at your fingertips, whenever and wherever you need them. That’s where our Library Resource Center comes in: a virtual library with access to academic journals, case studies, industry reports and plenty of other resources. At Grantham, you’ll find a well-rounded resource experience—day or night—at no additional cost.

But what if you need a little extra guidance with the concepts you’re learning? Grantham is excited to partner with Tutor.com for 24/7 on-demand tutoring for many classes. Students can also take advantage of the Teaching and Learning Center, which gives them access to webinars, tutorials, workshops and other academic resources.

Preparing for your new career

Grantham’s Career Services team is eager to help both current students and alumni find career success. From day one to well after you graduate, Career Services is available to help you determine your career direction, find networking opportunities, update your resume and prepare for interviews.

Unlike other career guidance programs, the Career Services team provides guidance on creating a professional social media presence, as well as helping students become active in student organizations that can advance their career prospects after graduation. Career Services is also ready to help military students who are transitioning into civilian life while staying on track with their education.

Our career resources extend beyond our own web domain, too. Grantham University Alumni Connections LinkedIn group is the perfect place to meet Grantham alumni, faculty and recruiters. Once you’ve been approved to join the group, you can make connections, expand your network and even get access to relevant job opportunities.
