Military Service Members and Veterans
Colorado Christian University’s accelerated degree programs prepare students for lifelong learning and leadership roles in the military, in business, and in public professions. In order to make education more accessible for adult students, CCU offers academic programs online and at convenient locations throughout Colorado. These flexible education opportunities cater to the needs of adult learners who have full-time employment, work shifts, and are prone to short notice moves or deployments. CCU’s staff works cooperatively with base education services personnel at the following locations in Colorado and Wyoming.
- Buckley AFB (Colorado)
- FE Warren AFB (Wyoming)
- Fort Carson (Colorado)
- Peterson AFB, including the 302nd Air Wing (Colorado)
- Schriever AFB (Colorado)
- United States Air Force Academy (Colorado)
Special Tuition Pricing
Colorado Christian University’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies offers a reduced tuition rate for active duty military and their adult dependents. The military tuition rate is now equivalent to the Military Tuition Assistance limit of $750 per course, which means that service members taking undergraduate classes in CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies program will incur no out-of-pocket tuition costs (under the present Tuition Assistance rules). Some courses may have required fees which are unaffected by this new policy.
Armed Forces Educational Credit and Residency Recognition
Active duty military personnel and veterans may receive undergraduate credit for Basic Training and other formal educational experience gained while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Potential transfer credit may already be documented on the CCAF (Air Force), AARTS (Army), and SMARTS (Navy/Marines) transcripts.
Options for Military Recruits
The University is a participant in the Concurrent Admissions Program (ConAP) and is a SOC partner with the Army Recruiting Command. ConAP goals are to increase enlistment of college-capable active-duty and reserve soldiers, to increase the number of Army soldiers, veterans, and reservists enrolled in college, and to increase the use of Montgomery GI Bill education benefits.
CCU is approved for federal veterans' education benefits to qualified students. Applicants for these benefits may secure forms by contacting Service Central at 303-963-3230 or VASupport@ccu.edu. Eligible students should keep in mind that benefits may not be received for a number of weeks after enrollment and should be prepared to meet University expenses until the veteran benefits arrive.
