Welcome to Colorado Christian University's Nursing programs, offered through CCU's School of Nursing and Health Professions. Our vision is to empower you to practice nursing as ministry. We challenge our nursing students to become competent, compassionate, moral leaders who impact their world and transform healthcare through the uniqueness of Christ-inspired nursing practice. At CCU, nursing is both a scientific discipline and a sacred calling.
The baccalaureate degree program in nursing, the master's degree program in nursing, and the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Colorado Christian University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
The BSN program is a bachelor's in nursing program for students who want to begin or advance their healthcare or nursing careers. The 120 credit hour nursing program is available with two paths:

CCU offers an online program — the RN to BSN degree completion track — that is designed for licensed RNs with an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program or an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) who want to complete their nursing bachelor's degree. Students with an ADN or ASN may transfer up to 90 credit hours toward CCU's 120-credit hour BSN. The remaining 30 credits include nine online classes that can be completed in just over one year.
The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) is designed for nurses who already have a bachelor's degree and want to gain advanced nursing leadership skills as well as patient care in order to expand their career options and earning potential. The 39-credit nursing program offers you two tracks — Nursing Education and Clinical Care Management in Adult/Geriatric — that are both in high demand. The MSN program is available online, and coursework may be completed in just over two years of full-time study through one of the best Christian nursing schools in Colorado.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at CCU is designed for nurses — nurse practitioners, nurse administrators, and healthcare leaders, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse educators with significant clinical experience — who already have an MSN. The online DNP at CCU is a practice-focused doctorate degree that will prepare experts in specialized advanced nursing practice. Graduates will be able to apply credible research and translate evidence-based practice into improved health outcomes. The 30-credit hour doctoral nursing program provides development of advanced competencies for increasingly complex practice and enhanced leadership to strengthen healthcare delivery.
