Music

"The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul."

Johann Sebastian Bach, German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist (1685–1750)

Why Music?

At Colorado Christian University, you can combine your passion for music with your education by earning a Bachelor of Arts in Music. The music degree prepares you for a broad range of musical and non-musical careers, and is excellent preparation for further study in graduate school. You can tailor the program to your 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 teach you how to impact your culture for Christ, as well as how to honor Him and to share His love on campus and around the world, using excellence in music to do so. Integrated offerings combine classical, jazz, contemporary, and world music with a progressive and distinctly Christian worldview to develop students who are leaders – both in the world and in the Church. As a Music major, you'll 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.
