History of the University

Colorado Technical University is a private, for-profit institution of higher learning, granting Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degrees as well as Professional Certificates. The university was founded in 1965 in Colorado Springs, where the main campus continues to reside today.

Over the past 40 years, Colorado Technical University has evolved from a technical training school to a university with graduate-level programs. The introduction in 1995 of doctorate programs; the establishment of campuses in Denver and Pueblo, Colorado; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and North Kansas City, Missouri; and the introduction of the online campus, Colorado Tech Online, have established CTU as a mature institution in higher education.
