Lakewood, Colo., - Colorado Christian University (CCU), the premier interdenominational Christian university in the Rocky Mountain region, has earned the 2025-2026 Silver Military Friendly® School designation-marking its 13th consecutive year of recognition for exemplary service to military-connected students and their families.
CCU's College of Adult and Graduate Studies was evaluated in the "Private offering Doctorate" category, receiving the Silver designation. The university was also honored as a Military Spouse Friendly® School, a testament to its comprehensive support for military families through flexible, Christ-centered educational programs.
"We are honored to once again be recognized as a Military Friendly® School," said Bill Hutto, Military Enrollment Director at CCU. "Each year, we look for new ways to strengthen our commitment to the military community-enhancing the support, flexibility, and personal care we offer to service members, veterans, and their families. This designation affirms our mission and encourages us to continue growing in excellence."
Military Friendly® designations are determined using both public data and proprietary survey responses, measuring institutions' performance in areas such as student retention, graduation, job placement, and financial support specific to veterans and service members.
"Our military and veteran students are central to our mission of transforming lives through Christ-centered higher education," said Allison Burkhart, Vice President of University Marketing, Enrollment for the College of Adult and Graduate Studies and Student Success. "We're continually refining our programs, staff training, and online learning resources to ensure that every military-connected learner receives the guidance, flexibility, and care they deserve."
As part of its commitment, CCU offers specialized enrollment counselors for military students, expert guidance on tuition assistance and VA benefits, and 100% online programs designed to accommodate service schedules and global deployments.
The 2025-2026 Military Friendly® Schools list will be published in the May and October issues of G.I. Jobs magazine and is available online at militaryfriendly.com. For more information about CCU's military and veteran services, visit ccu.edu.
