Make the Most of the Rewards

At Colorado Christian University, we understand that a decision this big must have a worthwhile return on investment. Earning your degree from CCU means real rewards for your career, your earning power, and your life.

The statistics speak for themselves.

• On average, employees who hold a bachelor’s degree earn up to 49 percent more than those who have taken only some college courses or have earned an associate’s degree.
• According to the U.S. Department of Labor, earnings for college graduates have risen up to one third since 1979 on an inflation-adjusted basis. (Source: The Current Population Survey, a monthly survey of households conducted by the Bureau of Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.) 

But to fully appreciate what the above statistics mean, consider that all other categories of employees—those who have no high school diploma, no college, some college, or even an associate’s degree—have experienced a decline in real earnings in the past 20+ years on an inflation-adjusted basis.

In financial terms alone, there is tremendous value in earning your bachelor’s or master’s degree as early as possible in your career. And at CCU we are committed to making it affordable, achievable, and financially rewarding for our students.
