About CCU

Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado

and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit University is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.

Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914 on two principles - grace and truth. CCU's

scriptural foundation comes from John 1 : 17 : For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth

came through Jesus Christ. (ESV)

CCU's mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with

grace and truth.

A leader in higher education, the University has been consistently ranked in the top 2 percent of colleges and universities nationwide for its core curriculum by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. CCU has had nine consecutive years of enrollment growth and has been named one of the five fastest-growing master's granting universities by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

CCU offers more than 200 degree program options for traditional and adult students through its

College of Undergraduate Studies and College of Adult and Graduate Studies. More than 9,000

students attend the University on the main campus, in regional centers throughout Colorado, and

online.

vocations. CCU invites you to explore how you may use your calling and gifts at the University.
