Admission to the College of Undergraduate Studies

Christ-centered higher education transforming students to impact the world with grace and truth.

Welcome to Colorado Christian University! Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, CCU’s vibrant traditional, on-campus, undergraduate program is designed for students who desire to live and pursue knowledge in Christ-centered community. We envision graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high ethical and professional standards, embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, treasure the gospel, and who thereby are prepared to impact the world in their callings.

Faith and Learning

No matter which degree path you choose at CCU, you’ll integrate dynamic learning with an unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ.

CCU's rigorous academic programs are designed to equip you with knowledge and skills for your future career, as well as challenge you to think critically within a Christian worldview. God has gifted every CCU student to serve in a unique vocation. But while the Lord leads everyone to different careers, He calls us all to “use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10, ESV).
