Colorado Christian University

Colorado Christian University is committed to offering a complete education that develops students intellectually, professionally, and spiritually. It is the only member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities in an eight-state region and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The University offers both undergraduate and graduate programs designed to equip students to become leaders in their careers, communities, families, and in the world. CCU students are enrolled at the main campus near Denver and at satellite locations throughout Colorado.
You must know that Colorado Christian University is very different from the typical American university. This is because we hold tightly to traditional values and high academic standards. We strive to impact our culture in support of traditional family values, sanctity of life, compassion for the poor, biblical view of human nature, limited government, personal freedom, and other such causes that preserve and promote high moral and ethical standards.
Students at CCU are prepared for positions of significant leadership in the church, business, education, government, and many other strategic disciplines. Moreover, the University also gives students significant opportunities to serve our Lord while they are at CCU, helping them develop a lifetime habit of service to God’s Kingdom.
In the classroom students are learning to think for themselves, to ponder and interact with today’s ideas and theories. They are learning how biblical principles can make an impact now. They are becoming seekers and messengers of truth. Professors are challenging students to integrate their faith into their chosen discipline, while helping them gain knowledge and develop skills that will prepare them to be successful in their careers.
This unique combination of classroom learning, active service, and spiritual formation creates a transformational education that produces graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world.
Our aim is to envision graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world. Our community of interdependent students, faculty, and staff seeks to honor and obey Jesus Christ, who is present in Spirit and speaks in Scripture, and to advance God’s purposes in the lives of every member.
Our undergraduate and graduate curriculum integrates faith and learning in a scholarly environment that fosters critical and creative thinking, academic excellence, and professional competence. And our students experience and engage the world in ways that prepare leaders to serve and transform their professions, churches, and communities.
The University emphasizes excellence in its academic programs and fosters strong student academic achievement. Class size is designed to encourage personal interactions between faculty and students, enhancing the learning process. The University seeks to provide students flexibility to personalize their programs of study and to participate in a variety of enriching co-curricular educational opportunities, which foster meaningful community.
