Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian college in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. The mission of CCU is Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

CCU’s core curriculum is consistently ranked in the top two percent of colleges and universities across the country by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. With over 100 majors, minors, and emphases to choose from, students integrate dynamic learning with rock-solid faith, grounded in a Biblical worldview. Courses and programs offer experiential learning opportunities, led by professors who are both teachers and mentors.

Located on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, just 10 miles west of downtown Denver, there’s always something new to experience at CCU. All students live in apartment style residence halls and enjoy three-day weekends year round. Bi-weekly chapel and a wide range of service opportunities encourage spiritual formation on campus, and with nearly 30 clubs and organizations on campus, there’s something for everyone. At CCU, students meet life-long friends, study, laugh, learn, are challenged, and grow together in Christ.

“What I adore about teaching at CCU is the ability to journey with students through ideas that matter so much to me. Whether teaching history, church history, philosophy, theology – these are all things that have transformed my life. Rather than leading from a distance, teaching at CCU is sharing my journey. I know my students, I know their stories, and as we share stories with one another, we partake together in relationship and discipleship. Discipleship matters to me as part of teaching and CCU really fosters an environment that allows me to disciple as I teach. As I teach, students often ask for mentors and we are able to partake together in discipleship. I’m grateful for the unique size of CCU that enables this.” — Dr. Megan DeVore, Associate Professor of Church History and Early Christian Studies

What Others are Saying

“God called me to CCU. I had already committed to a different school and didn’t feel at peace about that choice. I leaned on the Lord and it became abundantly clear CCU was where I was meant to be! My experience at CCU has been amazing. I have met incredible people, formed close relationships with my professors, and gained independence. CCU has influenced my spiritual growth in more areas of my life than I thought possible.”
— Lindsay Prose - Accounting Major - Class of 2022 - from Colorado Springs, Colorado
