REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe Professors are all very well educated and deeply care that students are keeping the knowledge they gain from the classes throughout life.
Katherine from Colorado Springs, CO
Many of the professors I have had thus far are informed, helpful, and prepared. They are updated on new information, know which textbooks are the best for the level and topic for class, and will generally research any question they do not have an answer for in class. Majority of the professors stay on topic, generally follow the course plan that they provide at the beginning of the year, and come to class completely prepared with any articles, handouts, or videos. The best part is that the professors are very willing to meet with students outside of classroom time and help with assignments or increase comprehension on the materials discussed in class. Not only is lecture material provided but life skills and applications are usually taught as well.
Kelsi
Colorado Christian University is a nice christian environment school for those who are willing to learn about God and whatever they may decide to major in. This University has great expectations for those who attend here, and those that graduate come out with a great understanding about what they should pursue in life. Overall this is a great University to discover who you are and who God wants you to be.
Joshua from El Paso, TX
The professors challenge you here...but in a good way! We are persecuted in our faith out in the real world, which is something that our Professors understand. Therefore, they don't want us to also be looked down upon in our education. They want us to shine in our education, and therefore make a difference in this world.
Alyssa from Centennial, CO
This school is awesome! The professors care about you and actually know your name since classes are never much bigger than 30 students, and you can't beat the community that comes with the small campus population. If you can afford it, do it!
Derek from Chandler, AZ
I absolutely love CCU. Here, it's not just a college, it's a community. Applying and attending CCU was the best decision I have ever made.
Esther from Spring, TX
Extremely helpful staff willing to go the extra mile to explain steps thoroughly. The Christian based environment breeds a positive, exciting learning experience. Programs prepare you for real world encounters.
Nicole from Spring, TX
I have attended CCU for almost two years now, all of my classes have been completed in an online setting. CCU has a wonderful staff of online instructors and their online classrooms are efficient and easy to navigate. The instructors are fair with their grading, respond quickly to questions or feedback, and make assignments oriented to the online atmosphere.
Anna from Glendale, AZ
Colorado Christian University is all about community and helping students grow in Christ. The professors and the rest of the staff are 100% about helping you succeed and become a knowledgable, mature Christian.
Kailynn from Westminster, CO
