Colorado Christian Enrichment Center

CCU is an excellent place for our growing young adults. It is Bible based and the students seem to love the professors. If you look up Christian Universities and Colleges, CCU is at the top of the list for staying focused on Christ. The student apartments are absolutely amazing as well. And the food, at least when parents are on campus, is first rate.

As a recent graduate of Colorado Christian University (CCU), I feel it’s important to share my genuine experience for the benefit of prospective students. When I first heard about CCU back in high school, I was excited by the idea of attending an academically challenging university that claimed to be rooted in Christian values. I truly believed it was the place where I was meant to grow both intellectually and spiritually. Although I transferred in as a junior pursuing my degree in Computer Information Systems, my initial enthusiasm quickly met reality. Unfortunately, I found the student culture to be far less welcoming than expected. In my experience, many students seemed judgmental and unkind, especially toward those who did not fit into what I would describe as the "ideal CCU mold." Rather than fostering a Christ-centered, inclusive community, the environment often felt exclusive and critical. Regarding the faculty, my experiences were mixed. Some professors were absolutely incredible—wise, compassionate individuals who went above and beyond to support their students. I am grateful for the relationships I built with them and will continue to value those connections. However, others did not embody the values they professed, which was deeply disappointing. What concerns me most is the direction I witnessed the university heading during my time there. Rather than focusing on spiritual development and student well-being, there appeared to be a growing emphasis on financial interests. Several student support services—including academic advising, the career center, and even campus security—were significantly reduced or cut altogether while I was enrolled. I did not remain silent about these issues. Before graduating, I personally brought my concerns to the new university president, who had publicly invited students to share feedback. Unfortunately, my outreach was ignored. I also spoke with the dean of students, only to be met with justification for inappropriate conduct. I was told directly, “I do not engage with students to enforce the rules”—a response that, in my view, reflects a failure of leadership in a role meant to advocate for students. Despite these challenges, if asked whether I would choose CCU again knowing what I know now, my answer would still be yes—but for different reasons. While my experience at CCU was far from what I had hoped for, it was there that I met my spouse and learned valuable, though difficult, lessons about people, faith, and leadership. I share this perspective not out of bitterness, but in the hope that it will help others make informed decisions about whether CCU is the right fit for them.

I’ve enjoyed going to ccu online and my experience in person has been good as well. The campus is small and intimate. I have had some really good professors, including Dr. Daniel during my counseling residency. I would recommend.

Absolutely phenomenal school all inclusive and i highly recommend!

Dr Andrew shepardson. He has made my attendance here very unpleasant. He has used hyperbole in emails so everybody else can judge me instead of looking at the problem. I recommend not going to this University for an education. They are overpriced and under delivered. If you go here you go her at your own risk. There by far better institutions of education to attend.
