Griggs Consortium

Griggs University (GU), founded in 1909, is the distance education arm of the Seventh-day Adventist educational system. Andrews University (AU), Oakwood University (OU), and Washington Adventist University (WAU) have joined Griggs University in partnership to make distance learning programs available to students around the world through the Griggs University Consortium. Each partner plays a crucial role in providing flexible, portable degree programs and courses to students who have not been able to study on a college campus.
