Our family has 5 siblings who ALL have enjoyed a very strong education with exceptional growth in their walk with the Lord from a positively 5* undergrad degree at CU. Caring professors, challenging courses and a community of fun, responsible peers seeking the best for one another - well prepared for LIFE, dental school, nursing, computer engineering & cybersecurity.

The school brainwashing pressure is for girls to get married and change your major to Biblical Studies so you can earn as little as possible and rely on your husband to support you.
