CCU by the Numbers
In 1914, what began as a one-room school with two students and a single instructor is now a fully accredited university with over 10,000 students. Today, Colorado Christian University is the only evangelical Christian institution of higher learning in the Rocky Mountain region, with a residential campus near Denver for traditional undergraduate students, online adult learners in all 50 states and several countries, and thousands of accomplished alumni worldwide.
CCU continues to increase academic standards, enrollment, and community life while becoming financially strong and well prepared for future growth and opportunities.
