Education at CCU

With classrooms changing and students needing more than just information, there’s a growing demand for a new kind of educator—one who teaches with purpose, leads with conviction, and sees education as a calling, not just a career. The world needs teachers who shape minds and hearts. At Colorado Christian University, you’re prepared to become that kind of educator by grounding your teaching in a Christian worldview and a passion for helping students thrive.

Calling and preparation
Teaching is more than standing in front of a classroom, it’s investing in lives. At CCU, you’re equipped to lead, inspire, and serve through a wide range of traditional undergraduate education programs. Whether you feel called to shape young learners in the Elementary Education Licensure program (Liberal Arts—Classical Track), inspire creativity through the K–12 Music Education program, or promote health and teamwork in the K–12 Physical Education program, you’ll be prepared to make a lasting impact.

If your heart is for supporting diverse learners, you can pursue the K–12 Special Education: Generalist Licensure program. If you’re passionate about a specific subject, CCU offers licensure programs in Secondary English/Language Arts, Secondary Science, Secondary Social Studies, and Secondary Mathematics so you can teach what you love and do it well. And if you’re drawn to education beyond licensure, the BA in Teaching and Learning allows you to pair your major with a required non-licensure minor, giving you flexibility to serve in a variety of educational settings.

Faculty mentorship
You won’t walk this journey alone. Your professors are experienced educators who have taught in real classrooms and are committed to mentoring you along the way. They’ll challenge you academically, support you personally, and help you discover your strengths as a future teacher. You’ll learn not just what to teach, but how to teach with excellence, confidence, and compassion.

The CCU difference
At Colorado Christian University, education is about transformation. You’ll be part of a Christ-centered community that integrates strong academics, spiritual formation, and real-world engagement. You won’t just earn a degree, you’ll grow into a leader who knows how to think critically, teach faithfully, and serve boldly. The bible is used in every class. At CCU, you’re prepared to step into the classroom ready to make a difference that lasts far beyond graduation.
