About CCU
Colorado Christian University is the premier interdenominational Christian university in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region, delivering world class education to thousands of students. The fully accredited, nonprofit university is located in Lakewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.
Colorado Christian University was founded in 1914. CCU’s motto is - grace 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 to impact the world with grace and truth.
Colorado Christian 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 there 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 twelve consecutive years of enrollment growth and has been named one of the five fastest-growing master’s granting universities by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

More than 9,000 students attend the University on the main campus, in regional centers throughout Colorado, and online.

Search Education Jobs in ColoradoEducation TN Sponsorship Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
Which education employers in Colorado sponsor TN visas?
The University of Colorado system, Colorado State University, Denver Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District, and Adams 12 Five Star Schools are among the larger education employers in Colorado with established HR processes for foreign national hiring. Postsecondary institutions generally have more experience with TN visa sponsorship than K-12 districts, though larger districts do hire internationally for specialized roles in special education, bilingual instruction, and school psychology.
Which cities in Colorado have the most education TN sponsorship jobs?
Denver and Boulder account for the highest concentration of education TN opportunities, driven by the University of Colorado campuses, a dense cluster of private schools, and several ed-tech companies headquartered in the metro area. Fort Collins is strong for postsecondary roles tied to Colorado State University. Colorado Springs supports K-12 hiring through large districts like Harrison School District 2 and the Pikes Peak region's charter school network.
What types of education roles typically qualify for TN visa sponsorship in Colorado?
TN visa eligibility in education generally covers roles that require a specific baccalaureate or higher degree in a directly related field. Qualifying positions commonly include university faculty, curriculum developers, education researchers, school psychologists, and scientific or technical instructors. General classroom teaching roles at the K-12 level can qualify if the position formally requires a bachelor's degree in education or a relevant subject area, though requirements vary by employer and role.
How do I find education TN sponsorship jobs in Colorado?
Migrate Mate lists education jobs in Colorado filtered specifically by TN visa sponsorship, so you can search without sifting through postings from employers who don't sponsor. The platform focuses on roles where sponsorship is a known part of the hiring process, which is particularly useful in education since sponsorship practices vary widely between K-12 districts, charter networks, and higher education institutions across Colorado.
Are there any Colorado-specific considerations for TN sponsorship in education?
Colorado does not impose state-level visa sponsorship requirements beyond federal TN rules, but K-12 employers typically require Colorado teacher licensure in addition to TN eligibility. Canadian and Mexican nationals should confirm that their foreign teaching credentials meet Colorado's licensure equivalency standards through the Colorado Department of Education before applying. Research and administrative roles at universities generally have fewer state-licensing complications than classroom teaching positions.
