Colorado Christian University

Colorado Christian University (CCU) is a private, interdenominational Christian institution located in Lakewood, Colorado, a western suburb of Denver situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains. The university's suburban campus features modern academic buildings and residential facilities spread across 40 acres, with views of the Front Range. Founded in 1914 as the Denver Bible Institute, CCU maintains its evangelical Christian mission while offering both traditional undergraduate programs and adult education through its College of Adult and Graduate Studies. The university's academic programs emphasize business, education, theology, and nursing, with all coursework integrated with Christian principles and worldview. Traditional undergraduate students are required to live on campus for their first two years, and the university competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Cougars, primarily in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
