Golden Gate University

“My professors gave me an amazing foundation. All the skills I have learned at GGU are in-demand skills in the field of data analytics. Employers are looking for people with these skills to fill data analytics, business intelligence analytics, and marketing analytics roles.”

“I once felt a transition into a rewarding career in HR was out of my reach. Thanks to the knowledge and connections acquired at GGU, I obtained a VP of HR position in a Silicon Valley firm that has taken me around the world.”

“In financial planning, we often say that the more you understand yourself, the better you can serve your clients. This program reinforced that idea, helping me grow both personally and professionally. The supportive environment created by my professors and fellow students allowed me to build confidence, flourish, and define the kind of planner I wanted to become. While the technical knowledge—especially from my tax law classes—was invaluable, the deeper self-awareness I gained through my financial planning courses is a gift beyond measure.”

“My experience at Golden Gate University was truly a game-changer. Through the financial analytics program, I gained deep insights into financial modeling, accounting, corporate finance, and more —skills that have been invaluable in my current role at Siemens Mobility Inc. What I appreciated most about the program was the supportive environment. My professors were always there to guide me and the relationships I formed with my peers were incredibly rewarding. I’m so grateful for the strong foundation this program gave me, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow in the finance field.”

“GGU does their best to help students who need financial support. At GGU, I was offered a scholarship and received financial aid , which gave me the opportunity to complete my bachelor’s and earn my master’s degree.”

“I’m a mother of four, I operate my own business, and I’m a full time employee and student. It was a difficult decision to go back to school in my mid-30s, but Golden Gate University allowed me to further my education while balancing my life.”

“I’m grateful to have completed my undergraduate, graduate, and CFP® certification programs at Golden Gate University, ensuring a seamless and high-quality education in one place. The university’s rigorous academics, supportive community, and commitment to professional growth —along with valuable resources like its extensive library and Small Business Entrepreneur program—gave me the skills and confidence to launch my firm, Joyner Financial Planning.
