Garden City University was founded in 2001 as the College of Information Technology and Management Systems, initially operating as an ICT training center. In 2004, the name was changed to Garden City University College. The institution received its first institutional accreditation from the National Accreditation Board (now part of GTEC) in 2005. The university began its degree programmes in October 2005 with an initial cohort of 27 students (in two batches). Over the years, the student population has grown to over 6,000 across various academic disciplines. At a ceremony on 19 December 2024, GCUC was awarded a Presidential Charter by President Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo, which was formally presented in January 2025.
