14. GMC’s Commitment to Your Student’s Success
Committed, Caring Faculty
Our Faculty have all been trained in student-centered learning, delivering content and skill-building.
Our faculty hold at least a master’s degree, while many hold specialist and doctoral level degrees.
Many of our faculty were high school instructors before becoming a professor; there are others who still teach at the high school level while serving GMC Online.

15. Unique Opportunities for Cohort Learning Online
Online Cohorts for YOUR Students
Our cohort programs protect the integrity of the learning environment YOU have established by keeping your students in the same courses so that they can use each other as learning resources.
We reach out to your school to recruit qualified faculty to lead these cohorts when possible.
Some GMC MOWR cohorts also include on ground support from local personnel, especially if the school can provide qualified faculty to lead the cohort.
We have seen higher than normal success rates due to this approach.

-24 hour/7 days per week live tutors using Tutor.com

17. Transparency and Open Communications with Partners
We do not subscribe to the “They’re college students now, so we can not communicate with you” mentality.
We are your partners, not your obstacle.
We respect the fact that these are YOUR students, and we are sharing this opportunity with you to shepherd them in their journey.
Our experience has been that when GMC partners with you, students benefit the most.

18. Counselor Check-Ins and Updates
We believe that timely, frequent feedback, not only to the student, but also the counselors, is vital to the success of your students and the MOWR program.
Each week, my office offers a “check-in” where student’s current average is provided to the counselors at each partner school.
Counselors are encouraged to contact the dean’s office to work with us in offering constructive feedback and positive direction to struggling students.
We openly communicate with counselors from the partner schools to ensure there are no surprises and there are ample opportunities for early intervention.
