My GIA



Choose to learn on campus at any one of GIA’s 14 locations, or in the comfort and convenience of your own home. The course material is the same, the diplomas are the same, the international recognition is the same – only the scenery is different.

1. On Campus

When you choose to complete your GIA education on campus, you benefit from limited class size and personalized attention. GIA’s instructors and professors are known and respected authorities in their fields. Some have owned and managed jewelry businesses. Some are highly skilled designers and craftspeople. Others are experienced diamond graders and colored stone specialists. Each one brings a unique personality, passion, and perspective to the educational experience.

But expert instruction is just one part of the success equation at GIA. As an On Campus student, you’ll make industry contacts that will last your career and friendships that will last your lifetime.

2. Distance Education

With GIA Distance Education, you learn whenever and wherever you choose. The same course material that’s taught on campus in Carlsbad, New York, and Los Angeles is sent directly to your door. That means you learn when it’s convenient for you and with minimal interruption to your work schedule. Even GIA’s Jewelry Business Management courses can all be completed at home, online.

The best part is, whether you want to learn on campus or through Distance Education, you can get started right now. Call 800-421-7250 and an admissions representative will guide you through the entire admissions process and help find the right program for you.
