Erie Colleges and Universities

If you want to attend a small college town near all the perks of an urban hub, consider Lakewood. The city of Lakewood is a small urban center west of Denver with just over 140,000 residents. Lakewood is a relatively new city, incorporated in 1969 as one of the fastest growing cities in the state. Although growth has slowed, Lakewood remains a cultural and economic hub in central Colorado. Live public performances and community festivals help reinforce the strong sense of community that pervades Lakewood.

Lakewood colleges and universities offer great opportunities for educational advancement. Colorado Christian University is the largest institution of higher education in Lakewood, and serves as a faith-based school with both undergraduate and graduate programs. Students at Lakewood colleges and universities are able to enjoy a tight-knit local community within close proximity to the bustling city of Denver.
