Chula Vista Christian University (CVCU) is a private Christian university in Chula Vista, California. The university was founded in 2020 and offers undergraduate programs from a Biblical worldview.
CVCU claims to be "the first modern, homeschool-based university on the West Coast."[1]
The city of Chula Vista has tried to get a four-year university in the city since at least 1986, when local leaders offered to donate "at least 150 acres" to any institution, public or private, interested in opening a campus in the Otay Lakes area.[2] In 1993, the city adopted the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, which included a four-year university as a part of its vision.[3] In 2010, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed AB24,[4] a bill introduced by Assemblyman Marty Block to conduct a feasibility study of a California State University Chula Vista campus.[5] Nonetheless, in 2012, the city acquired 375-acre (152 ha) intended for the development of a university and technology park, and chose a master developer, who later backed out of the project.[3][6]
Chula Vista Christian University was first announced in April 2020 as the brainchild of author and speaker Lisa Dunne, who served as the school's inaugural president.[7][8][9] It was reported that 20 to 30 students would begin instruction that fall in "small classes that emphasize[d] the Socratic method of teaching."[7] The board of directors included conservative political commentators Audrea Decker Taylor and Gina Loudon – the latter also serving as co-chair of Women for Trump.[7]
The university offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. CVCU is composed of several academic schools:[10]
As of 2024, CVCU is in its fourth year of pre-candidacy of accreditation.[11]
