The American Honors Transfer Network of four-year colleges and universities extends from coast to coast, ranging from titans such as George Washington University and Duke University to small liberal arts colleges, including Amherst and Swarthmore. Program graduates have been accepted at Stanford, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Cornell, and many other top-tier schools.

Student Clubs & Organizations

In addition to co-curricular and professional development activities, Golden Gate University offers a wide variety of student groups to choose from. There's a vibrant GGU community that you can access while you're a student and after you graduate.

The GGU community has one common thread: the hard work and perseverance it takes to attend classes as working adults.

The Student Government Association [SGA] represents the various interest groups of GGU. The Student Academic & Cultural Clubs are a vital part of the GGU Community experience that supports the school's mission to prepare individuals to lead and serve embracing ethics and diversity. GGU’s clubs sponsor a variety of events, such as conferences, workshops, and speakers, that provide distinct opportunities for learning, networking, and socializing outside of the classroom.
