GCUC Introduces New Programmes
Garden City University College (GCUC), a leading private tertiary institution in the Ashanti Region, has started two new postgraduate programmes at its School of Health and Allied Sciences.
The two new master programmes are MPhil in Nursing and Master in Public Health (MPH) and there are in addition to the MPhil in Midwifery which the university started last year.
The Acting president of the university, Nana K. Owusu Kwarteng, PhD, announced this at the 16th Congregation of the University held on December 17, 2024.
It was on the theme: “Navigating the Future in Higher Education: The Role of Innovation and Strategic Leadership.”
He said the objective was to get approval for at least 10 Masters Programme at the School of Post Graduate Studies before the end of 2025.
GCUC has created a niche for itself in the training of health professionals in the country and has over the years churned out a lot of nurses and midwives who are manning health facilities throughout the country.
Nana Kwarteng said apart from the health-related programmes, the University also runs business related courses.
He urged students with weak WASSCE passes to try Diploma access programmes available at GCUC which would enable them to pursue degree programmes.
These programmes are Diploma in Business Administration, Diploma in Librarianship Studies, Diploma in Computerised Accounting and Diploma in Environmental, Health and Safety.
He said the programmes were designed such that those who acquire their diploma certifications would gain access to pursue their degree programmes in similar courses.
The objective was to provide an avenue for everyone to acquire tertiary education and the necessary skills and training that would equip them to fit into the job to earn a living.
Other programmes available at the University include Bachelor in Business Administration with options in Accounting, Marketing, Management, Banking and Finance, Human Resource Management and Procurement and Supply Chain Management.
He advised the graduands to let the training they received from the university be their guide as they venture into the professional world and to be good ambassadors of GCUC.
