Grantham University was founded in 1951 in Southern California and by 1959 sponsored residential campuses across the country in Washington, D.C., Seattle, WA, and Kansas City, MO. In 1991, these adjunct campuses were consolidated into one location in New Orleans, LA. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, however, the second campus was forced to move back to Kansas City after losing 80% of its facility in the disaster. Now, Grantham University is considered the seventh-largest four-year degree granting institution in Missouri, and benefits from the social, service, and business resources nearby.

Grantham University strives to educate its students by awarding them access to competitive technological resources and high quality faculty. Noted teachers include former Assistant Secretary of Commerce Dr. D. Bruce Merrifield, who served under President Reagan, and Dr. Herbert I. London, the founder and former Dean of Students at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, among others.

Online degrees are offered in the following areas: Business Administration, Business Management, Computer Science, Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Criminal Justice, General Studies and Interdisciplinary Studies.
