Colorado Christian University

Colorado Christian University

Colorado Christian University is very different from the typical American university. 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.

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.

  • CCU's College of Adult and Graduate Studies (CAGS) accepts most undergraduate credits earned at other accredited institutions no matter how old they are.
  • At CCU/CAGS, you complete each course in weeks, not months. Classes are typically 5-8 weeks long.
  • CCU's pricing structure is simple. We don't have a lot of the fees charged to students at other schools.
  • Since there are up to nine starts each year, a newly admitted student is usually just a week or so away from the next block start.
  • The admission process is simple. Students can usually be admitted and enrolled quickly, even before their transcripts arrive.
  • People from all faith backgrounds, or no faith background, are welcome. Your values are respected at CCU.
  • Military transcripts are accepted at CCU/CAGS. Many of our students are Air Force service members completing their Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) degrees at CCU.
  • CCU is a military friendly school, participating in many military benefits programs, such as the GI Bill, the Yellow Ribbon program, and many others.
  • Online students at CCU/CAGS can complete their entire degree program online without ever setting foot on campus.
