Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU's motto isgrace and
truth. This motto comes from John 1.14: "And the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of the
only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (ESV) CCU's
mission is Christ-centered higher education transforming students

University cultivates knowledge and love of God in a
Christ-centered community of learners and scholars, with an
enduring commitment to the integration of exemplary academics,
spiritual formation, and engagement with the world. We envision
graduates who think critically and creatively, lead with high
ethical and professional standards, embody the character and
compassion of Jesus Christ, treasure the gospel, and who thereby
are prepared to impact the world in their callings.CCU embraces an
educational model that was present at the foundation of many of the
great western and American universities. It is made up of three
pillars-competence, character and Christ-centered faith. Secular
universities have abandoned two of those pillars. We think this is
a major oversight that eventually undermines education.
Furthermore, we believe this classical educational model is both
life-giving and greatly needed in our time.A leader in higher
education, CCU has been consistently ranked in the top 2 percent of
colleges and universities nationwide for its core curriculum by the
American Council of Trustees and Alumni. CCU has had ten

Chronicle of Higher Education.CCU offers more than 100 degree
