At CCU, you’ll be challenged to grow in both knowledge and character, preparing you to live out your faith boldly and make a lasting impact in your career and calling.

With over 100 academic programs — from business and the sciences to the arts and pre-professional studies — you’ll find a path that aligns with your goals and your purpose. But your journey doesn’t stop in the classroom. Here, you’ll experience vibrant campus life through student-led ministries, NCAA Division II athletics, mission trips, Colorado retreats, and opportunities to serve and lead.

Rockies DENVER & THE
Imagine waking up to views of the majestic Rocky Mountains and spending your weekends hiking scenic trails, skiing world-class slopes, or exploring vibrant city life — all in one place. That’s life at Colorado Christian University.
Nestled at the foot of the Rockies and just 10 miles from downtown Denver, CCU offers a location unlike any other. Here, you’ll experience the best of both worlds: the beauty and peace of nature combined with the energy and opportunity of a thriving metropolitan city.
Whether you’re drawn to mountain adventures, coffee shop study sessions, professional internships, or weekend concerts and sporting events, you’ll find something that inspires you. Colorado is known for its active lifestyle and spirit of exploration, and at CCU, you’ll be right in the middle of it all.
It’s not just a place to go to school. It’s a place to live fully, grow deeply, and become the person God is calling you to be.
Life CAMPUS
What if your college experience didn’t start in a cramped dorm room, but in a space that actually feels like home? At CCU, you’ll live in modern, fully furnished apartments from day one. It’s one of the many things that sets CCU apart — and one of the reasons students quickly start calling this place “home.”
But it’s not just about where you live, it’s about who you live with. Our close-knit, Christ-centered community is designed to help you build meaningful connections that go beyond surface-level friendships.
With one of the lowest resident assistant-to-student ratios in the country, you’ll be supported, known, and encouraged. Apartments are grouped into themed stairwells and pods, where you’ll share family-style meals, deep conversations, spontaneous laughter, and lifelong memories.
Living here means more than just having your own space — it means being part of a community where you’ll grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. This is where real friendship, faith, and transformation happen. You won’t just live here — you’ll thrive here.
SPIRITUAL
Formation
At CCU, Christ isn’t just an element — He’s the emphasis. He’s at the center of everything we do. From your classes to your community, your time at CCU will challenge and inspire you to make your faith your own.
You’ll experience spiritual growth in everyday moments and through intentional opportunities like bi-weekly Chapel, where the entire campus gathers for Christ-centered, student-led worship and profound teaching.
You’ll join a Discipleship Group (D-Group) in your first semester — a small group of students led by a peer mentor, where you’ll build deep friendships rooted in encouragement, prayer, and accountability.
Through men’s and women’s ministries, community service, and mission trips around the world, you’ll have countless opportunities to live out your faith boldly and authentically. At CCU, you won’t walk this journey alone. You’ll be part of a like-minded community pursuing Christ together.
Athletics CCU
CCU is an NCAA Division II college in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC), one of the largest and most competitive conferences in the nation. CCU athletes play to win, but most of all, they play to honor Christ, our Audience of One. High value is placed on your academic success, mentorship through coaching, and the integration of faith in athletic competition.
College PAYING for
College is an investment, but it will never lose its value. CCU is committed to supporting you in reaching your academic goals while minimizing the financial burden through various financial aid options. From the moment you apply, you are supported by staff who are here to walk with you and help you explore every available option to make a Christ-centered education affordable and within reach.
You’ll have access to a wide range of scholarships and grants tailored to your unique story — whether you excel academically, lead in your community, serve in your church, or bring a specific talent or passion to campus. We offer merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, and additional aid opportunities that reflect the diverse strengths of our student body.
When combined with federal and state aid options, the cost of attending CCU often becomes much more manageable than students expect. In fact, 99% of our traditional undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. We’re committed to helping you invest in your future without carrying a heavy financial burden — because we believe the value of a CCU education is worth it, and so are you.
