  Golden
Gate University traces its origins to an evening lecture series
started by the San Francisco YMCA during the California gold rush
in the early 1850s. Even then, lectures focused on practical issues
of the day such as gold assaying and English. The first degree-conferring
program of the university started in 1901, with the formation of
California's first evening law school. By offering classes at night,
Golden Gate made legal studies available to the common person. Four
students comprised the law school's first graduating class. Today,
Golden Gate University is a leader in graduate and undergraduate
education in business and management, information technology, taxation
and law. As always, GGU emphasizes hands-on learning taught by professionals
practicing in the field. Campuses and teaching sites are located
in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Monterey Bay, Sacramento, San Jose,
Seattle, and Walnut Creek. Additionally online through Golden Gate
University's nationally recognized CyberCampus.
