Welcome Back

We are often asked, “What type of person characterizes the typical GS student?”

The best response to that question is, “What type of person are you?” That's where your application begins.

GS enrolls world-class dancers, athletes, musicians, bankers, and small business owners, and people who came here from as far away as China, Israel, and Germany. We have students who have completed a year or two of college elsewhere, individuals who have never attended college, and professionals who come to GS to complete second degrees in disciplines they'd always been drawn to, but had not pursued.

Time away from school and the desire to return are the two things all GS students have in common. In every other way, each student is unique, with his or her own story.

Apply today, and continue yours.
