Partnership programme · Central University × Gordon College, Massachusetts
Start at Central, complete at Gordon.
Central University has a partnership with Gordon College, Massachusetts — one of the foremost Christian universities in the USA — that enables you to study for two years at Central University, Accra, and complete your last two years at Gordon College.
How the programme works
A two-plus-two route: you begin on an eligible Central University degree in Accra and, on meeting the grade requirement, complete your final sixty credit hours at Gordon College and graduate with a Gordon degree.
Maintain a 3.00 GPA
Students who successfully complete their first two years in any of the listed programmes with a minimum GPA of 3.00 qualify to transfer.
Final 60 credit hours at Gordon
You complete your final sixty credit hours at Gordon College, Massachusetts, and graduate with a Gordon degree.
