Self-Study Accreditation Report

CCU's 2010 Self Study Report for the Higher Learning Commission

This self-study was presented to the Higher Learning Commission as evidence that Colorado Christian University meets or exceeds all criteria for continuing accreditation. In gathering evidence of meeting these criteria, this self-study provided an opportunity for the CCU community to identify strengths and opportunities for growth and improvement.

CCU’s dedicated and talented faculty and staff celebrates the improvements in quality of educational opportunities for students over the past ten years. The faculty and staff also commit to continued growth and improvement as the University provides a Christ-centered transformational education to its students.

The self-study is an overview of the University’s progress in the past ten years. Much additional documentation is available to the peer review team from the Higher Learning Commission in our Evidence Library, which backs up the claims made in the study. Pages 197 — 203 summarize changes since our last accreditation ten years ago.

The Self-Study Committee wishes to thank the faculty and staff who contributed to this document. In 2008, virtually every CCU employee had the opportunity to participate in answering evidence surveys, and later, many participated in developing strengths, challenges, and action plans for their division, school, or business unit.

One of the goals of the self-study was to honor Christ through this process. We believe this goal has been accomplished and trust Him for the positive outcome of these community efforts.
