The CCU Difference

Colorado Christian University is unique among the colleges and universities of the Rocky Mountain region in the following important respects:

CCU is first and foremost an academic community of committed Christian believers rooted in a profound respect for higher learning framed within the Christian worldview. The community respects the pursuit of truth and the development of the life of the mind. The University seeks to develop in each learner the capability to distinguish fact from fallacy, truth from error, and freedom from license.

The University does not cultivate the mind at the expense of the heart. Rather, it emphasizes development of Christian character and spirituality with the intent of sending graduates with personal Christian commitment and an informed sense of Christian morality into today’s communities and workplaces to provide leadership. CCU emphasizes the development of compassion, social concern, and a sense of biblical justice in the lives of its students. Likewise, the University seeks students, faculty members, and staff from diverse backgrounds.

The University is evangelical and interdenominational. Since the time of the mergers creating CCU, it has identified itself, not with any specific denominations, but with the broader, historic evangelical faith, and the University continues to honor and to define that identity. As the evangelical tradition has been shaped by the great movements of church history, evangelicals have found themselves in the center of the Christian spectrum, holding a genuine respect for both special and general revelation, seeking with intellectual rigor to harmonize what God has revealed through both scripture and creation. As an evangelical institution, the University employs a faculty that represents a variety of perspectives, all within the defining boundaries of the evangelical Christian faith. This blend of evangelical viewpoints affords students a thought-provoking but still supportive environment in which to mold their own personal Christian convictions.

The University advocates and teaches investigative study and the proper methods of scientific research and technological innovation; still, it recognizes that empirical reasoning alone cannot satisfy the deep need of each person for a personal relationship with God, the Creator of all things. As a community of believers, CCU recognizes that God is known through Jesus Christ. As a community of learners, CCU recognizes that this understanding of God in Jesus Christ is the beginning of wisdom.

The University’s primary academic focus is on excellence in teaching, while providing opportunities for research and performance by both faculty and students. The University prizes academic excellence as a virtue and encourages students to strive for such excellence.

CCU is a university of the liberal arts and professions with institutional roots that include an undiminished respect for the authority and integrity of Scripture as the foundation of God’s creative revelation of Himself to humanity. The Bible offers a sure foundation for understanding God, humanity, and the world, and for sound thinking, wise living, and Colorado Christian University Policy effective service. The arts and sciences belong to God and are to be prized, explored, enjoyed, and influenced by Christians. As a result, students gain broad exposure to art, history, literature, music, philosophy, science, and other fields of study, all of which are informed from a biblical perspective. Equally the University believes that Christian scholarship is practical and that upon the foundation of the biblically-informed liberal arts curriculum, students must be enabled to work productively in society and to earn a living.

As a Christian university, CCU places a strong emphasis on personal discipleship and preparation for ministry. Students are encouraged to mature in their relationship with Christ and in their service for Him. The University urges from Scripture that all Christians are called to serve Christ and to minister to others. Because Christians are individuals having different gifts, they find a variety of ministry avenues. Some serve Christ as pastors and missionaries, for example, while others serve Him as artists, managers, psychologists, and teachers. By involving students in service to church and community, CCU helps prepare students for a lifetime of serving others.

Online Learning “Community”

In CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies, students find that learning happens best in community. This applies to online students at CCU as well as those who attend classes in person.

CCU’s Cohort Model contributes to the sense of community that our online students experience. Students join a group of students and journey together through their degree or certificate programs. Your courses are offered one at a time in a pre-determined sequence, up until completion.

The cohort model of learning has long been embraced within the Christian tradition. We see examples in the New Testament of believers gathering in communal settings for the purpose of study and fellowship (Acts 2). The writer of the Book of Hebrews encouraged this spirit of collaboration (Hebrews 10).
