It is impossible to think of institution-building and social progress without a clear vision which comes through innovative ideas. Great ideas are given by the intellectuals who are the product of great educational institutions. GC University is one such institution, the producer of people of great ideas.

GC University prepares its academic plans in the light of three guiding principles: efficiency, relevance and quality. We impart interdisciplinary knowledge and produce open minds rather than graduates with limited outlook. In other words, the focus of the new University is on quality, equality, and diversity at all the three levels: class, race, and gender.

At the advent of the new millennium, we indeed have a clear vision for the emerging university handed on to us by our fore-bears with 144 years history (GCU was established in 1864).

The rich traditions passed on to us by these intellectuals will help and guide us in determining and shaping the ideals of this new University. We fully know our direction as well as our destination. We work to get to a height where we can compete with the world-class universities.
