Colorado Christian University partners with high schools throughout the country and around the world to provide students the opportunity to earn college credits while simultaneously completing their high school degrees.

Students can jumpstart their college degrees without leaving their high school campuses.

CCU is a four-year liberal arts university accredited by the Higher Learning Commission; therefore, our credits transfer to many colleges and universities nationwide.

Students should contact their institutions of interest prior to registering for CCU dual credit courses. Institutions, including CCU, differ on how they accept both AP and dual credits and can vary their policies from year to year and for various programs.

Dual credit students pay one low flat fee and have access to an extensive library and e-resources. CCU works closely with school administrators, counselors, and teachers to provide a smooth experience for students and families.

    At first CCU Academy was tough starting out because I didn’t know what I was doing. Each teacher I emailed helped me through with what I needed and also taught me a lot.
