Adult and Graduate Studies

Programs Designed for Adult Students

The College of Adult and Graduate Studies at CCU offers associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, doctoral degrees, and certificate programs specifically designed to meet the needs of adult learners. Our adult education classes are taught from a Christian worldview, emphasizing how your personal values and ethics can impact your education, your life, and your work. Since many adult students are interested in online degree programs, nearly all of our courses are offered 100% online.

For students interested in completing both a bachelor's and master's degree, CCU offers several dual degree programs to help save both time and money. In addition, students may choose a minor to develop deeper competencies in a subject area that complements their CCU's bachelor's degree.
