Music

"Music is the universal language of mankind."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, American Poet (1807-1882)

Why Music?

At Colorado Christian University students can combine their passion for music with their education by earning a Bachelor of Arts in Music. The music degree prepares students for a broad range of musical and non-musical careers, and is excellent preparation for further study in graduate school. Students can tailor the program to their unique interests by adding an emphasis in sound recording technology or performance.

Music in the Christian University

The focus of CCU's School of Music is to impact our culture for Christ, to honor Him, and to share the love of Christ on campus and around the world through excellence in the art of music. Integrated offerings combine classical, jazz, contemporary, and world music with a progressive and distinctly Christian world view to develop students who are leaders – both in the world and in the Church. Music majors receive personal attention by an exceptional, creative, and caring faculty who are themselves active performers and clinicians, who desire to not only teach but to also mentor students. Opportunities include national tours for major ensembles, and on- and off-campus recording studios.
