CCU’s education licensure and degree programs provide a unique combination of theory and practice to help you develop the skills you need to be an effective teacher and make a meaningful impact on the next generation of learners. The University offers both licensure and non-licensure undergraduate programs in early childhood, elementary, and special education. Students can also earn graduate degrees in special education and curriculum and instruction. All courses are offered 100% online and incorporate a Christ-centered worldview—a cornerstone of the University for more than a century. The flexible format makes it possible for you to take one class at time and still have time for work, family, and life's adventures. The University also offers generous transfer credit options and opportunities to earn credit for prior life experiences. CCU supports active military, veterans, and spouses by offering tuition discounts, on-base class options, and a dedicated military support team.
At Colorado Christian University, I earned my bachelor’s degree in elementary education. As a pastor’s wife, mother and employee, attending classes on a traditional campus seemed impossible. CCU offered classes from a Christian perspective, and the online format let me accomplish a lifelong goal.

In each course, you’ll serve students through servant-leadership in schools and school systems. Small class sizes encourage individualized learning, networking and direct access to instructors who are also professionals in the field. With your B.A. and licensure in early childhood education, you can teach pre-kindergarten through third grade in public, international, private and public charter schools. Once you complete this education program and meet state requirements (including testing and background checks), you can apply to the Colorado Department of Education for a Colorado teaching license. Adult students from around the world can participate in CCU’s online program. Out-of-state? You can use your Colorado license to apply for licensure in your home state, through your department of education’s teacher license transfer process.
