  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation.

What Students Are Saying

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
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.
