Cincinnati Christian University (formerly Cincinnati Bible College and Seminary) is a private Christian University located in Cincinnati, Ohio. CCU is committed to providing an excellent educational, spiritual, and social experience for each student. As they go out into the world, graduates bring a Christ-like perspective to their home, their workplace, and their community. CCU is supported by the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, which are part of the Restoration Movement. ==Heritage and History== Cincinnati Christian University began nearly a century ago. On September 23, 1924, two institutions—McGarvey Bible College in Louisville, Kentucky, and Cincinnati Bible Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio—merged to form The Cincinnati Bible Seminary (CBS).〔http://ccuniversity.edu/catalog/introduction/our-heritage-history/〕 CCU has offered both undergraduate and graduate studies since its inception in 1924. Since then, the graduate program has grown and expanded, having enjoyed its own identity since 1956 and a separate faculty since 1965. In 1987, the corporate name of the institution was changed to Cincinnati Bible College & Seminary. In 2004, the Center of Adult Learning and Leadership began offering adults an evening accelerated format to complete undergraduate degrees; that same year the corporate name became Cincinnati Christian University. Today CCU’s academics are governed by the Foster School of Biblical Studies, Arts & Sciences; Russell School of Ministry; School of Education & Behavioral Sciences; School of Business; Center of Adult Learning and Leadership; and Cincinnati Bible Seminary.〔http://ccuniversity.edu/catalog/introduction/our-heritage-history/〕 According to their founding charter, the purpose of CBS was “to prepare men and women for Christian service.” At that time, the university’s founders wanted to meet the pressing leadership needs of independent local churches that were associated with the Restoration Movement fellowship and they wanted to provide students with an education that was well-grounded in the Word of God.〔http://ccuniversity.edu/catalog/introduction/our-heritage-history/〕 1924: Price Hill campus consisted of two large residences and a rented church building 1939: Campus moved to present location after purchase of 27 acres with 5 buildings 1941: University purchased a Presbyterian church building for use for chapel services until 1983 1968: Edwin G.
