A new university is set to open at home in San Diego this fall. Chula Vista Christian University is coming to Eastlake, bringing flexible, debt-free, faith-based education to the city. CVCU’s unique approach to education is a much-needed option for students in the ever-mounting complexity of the college process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their educational model is tailored to the learning styles of the next generation, staying centered around academic mentorship and small group discussion-based learning. CVCU students are supplemented with opportunities such as internships and marketplace experience to help them become competitive in the professional world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In light of the nation\u2019s shortage of STEAM-trained professionals, CVCU is offering degrees in the hard sciences, social sciences, political sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics, while emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded education through liberal arts, career\/technical education training, and visual-performing arts degrees. Students will be encouraged to take their learning outside of the school through academic support, cutting-edge research projects, and artistic excellence, all in a faith-based model.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChula Vista Christian University is an academic experience where rigor meets relationship,\u201d said CVCU President Dr. Lisa Dunne. \u201cInstead of listening passively to lecture-based models of education, our students discover, learn, and practice their craft through internships and meaningful discussions with professors who care about the whole student\u2014mind, body, and spirit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

CVCU hopes to empower students to achieve their educational dreams without the burden of student loan debt. They offer debt-free higher education in a student-driven, tutorial modality that is proven to increase retention and graduation rates. This is a great step to counter the staggering 50% dropout rate in California and the nation’s $1.5 trillion of student loan debt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 20 years as a college professor, I recognized that our nation\u2019s higher\u00a0<\/span>education system is inherently broken. America desperately needs education reform, and CVCU is our local contribution to that national challenge,\u201d Dunne added.<\/span><\/p>\n

CVCU is now accepting applications for the fall 2020 semester. Prospective students can text the word \u201capply\u201d to 52855 for an application, or learn more about their programs at cvcu.us<\/a>.
