Volume Twenty-seven

Welcome to Colorado Christian University’s online catalog. As outlined in the University’s mission statement, CCU’s undergraduate and graduate curriculum integrates faith and learning in a scholarly environment that fosters critical and creative thinking, academic excellence, and professional competence. Each of CCU’s academic programs reflects this commitment. The ultimate goal for our academic programs is to train graduates to think critically and creatively, to lead with high ethical and professional standards, to embody the character and compassion of Jesus Christ, and to impact the world. This catalog serves as a resource for what is required in each of these programs and outlines academic policies and procedures that govern the University. We hope this catalog will serve you well as you make critical decisions regarding your education. We look forward to assisting you in achieving your educational goals.
