Founded in 1949, Grand Canyon University quickly developed into a premier teacher education college, and soon built other exceptional programs in the sciences, nursing, business, music, Christian studies and the arts. As the city of Phoenix expanded around Grand Canyon University, the university grew along with the city to become one of the most highly regarded metropolitan private universities in the nation.
