On many levels Colorado Christian University stands taller than most. Whether you prefer an On-line full degree program or live on campus, you will get the same guidance and education. Founded in 1914 as an interdenominational Christian College, located in the Rocky Mountain region of Lakewood , Colorado. For nearly a decade, CCU has been ranked as one of the top universities in the U.S. by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. The University has recently been cited by or received accolades from U.S. News & World Report, The Chronicle of Higher Education, the National Council on Teacher Quality, and Niche.com, in addition to garnering other national recognitions. They are ranked in the top 2% nationally for their core curriculum 10 consecutive years by the American Council of trustees and alumni. We can all agree after being continually recognized it’s easy to get comfortable and soft. And this is where CCU stands out. CCU was one of only 22 universities nationwide to earn a top grade for its rigorous core curriculum. Plus, their outstanding student to faculty relation is a huge asset compared to many of today’s crowded campuses.
