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.
