About Colorado Technical University

Colorado Technical University was started in 1965 by two military men, Col. Richard Davis, a pilot and Major Robert Turkisher, a navigator, who wanted to help U.S. Veterans transition back to civilian life more easily through education. Turkisher was CTU’s founder and first president… the first to set the course for CTU’s 50 years of academic excellence. Over the years, CTU has earned top Military honors and has awarded over $4.5M in scholarships to Wounded Warriors. Serving those who have risked their lives for our country is embedded in the past, present, and future of CTU.
