Overview

In 2004, City University was founded with the mission of preparing its students with the necessary skills to be twenty-first-century scholars and citizens. From its humble beginnings of 63 scholars to its many alumni, City University has a lot to celebrate.

To ensure its mission, City University fosters an academically rigorous learning environment that is supportive of all scholars and their pursuits of post-secondary education. Our curriculum enables and empowers scholars with the ability to achieve in any environment.

Our scholar alumni network is growing and with each year more graduates leave City University and attend college or pursuit other post-secondary opportunities.
