Study Abroad

"Study Abroad is extremely important; just for kids to get outside this country and experience the fact there is a big world out there."

George Lucas, Film Director, Producer, and Screenwriter (b. 1944)

Why Study Abroad?

Leave the traditional campus behind for a semester and make the world your classroom! Colorado Christian University encourages students to experience another culture and expand their academic experience by participating in a study abroad opportunity. Through its membership in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, CCU offers students more than a dozen Christian-based academic study opportunities in places like Australia, China, and England – and far beyond. There are also opportunities to participate in off-campus study programs within the U.S., including the American Studies Program in Washington, D.C. and the Contemporary Music Center at Martha's Vineyard.

If you are interested in studying in a country not listed in our opportunities section, CCU's Life Directions Center can direct you to other resources for off-campus study programs. No matter what your interests are, college is a great time to take advantage of the unparalleled opportunity to gain a more global perspective by studying in a different culture or even another area of the United States.

Studying Abroad in the Christian University

As our world becomes increasingly global, the CCU community feels ever more called not only to spread the Good News to the ends of the earth, but to also experience its culture, traditions, and people. What better way to immerse yourself in another culture than by living there every day? Studying, living, eating, breathing other people's worlds – other people's realities – not only expands our world view, but it opens our eyes to all of God's creation and our opportunity to exist within it. Check out the CCCU's BestSemester.com Web site to begin exploring your possibilities!
