Colorado Christian University

CCU is online and offers dozens of degree options across all academic levels. Programs span industries, including healthcare, education, technology, and business. These programs are 100% remote, so students can complete coursework on their own time from anywhere they have a broadband internet connection. CCU delivers its online curriculum via the Blackboard learning management system so students can access assignments and receive instruction virtually. 

Employers respect CCU's online degrees because an accredited institution confers them. Accreditation shows prospective students that a college or university manages their finances responsibly and delivers high-quality academic programming. CCU is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, an institutional accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

OnlineU only includes accredited institutions on its site.

CCU is known for being Colorado's flagship Christian university, the premier nondenominational Christian university, and the only evangelical institution of higher learning in the Rocky Mountain region. It's also known for strongly emphasizing students' relationships with Christ and encouraging students to continue maturing in this spiritual relationship while attending CCU. 

In January 2023, CCU earned the President's Award for Academic Excellence as a Division II school with an academic success rate of 90% or higher. The NCAA recognizes division II schools as having athletic programs that foster a balanced and inclusive approach for its student athletes so they meet academic goals and practice civic engagement while competing.

CCU's online bachelor's degrees in nursing, accountancy, and business provide the highest earnings for graduates based on College Scorecard data. Each provides a median annual salary of approximately $67,000, $56,000, and $51,000, respectively. 

Another measure to consider is OnlineU's proprietary Salary Score, which ranks colleges by how much their alumni earn compared to graduates with the same degree nationwide. CCU has a salary score of 58 for bachelor's and 26 for master's degrees.

It's not difficult to get into CCU, which has an open admissions policy and accepts 100% of applicants. Additionally, CCU does not require entrance exams to enroll or even a minimum GPA for students applying to undergraduate programs.
