The CCC is a three-year program of higher education designed for Spanish-speaking students. It became a branch campus of Northwestern College in Roseville, Minn., in 2001. It also became accredited through CONESUP, Ecuador’s accrediting agency for higher education institutions, in 2003.

The program integrates communications and technical courses with biblical knowledge and hands-on experience in radio, television and written communication. Launched in 1984, more than 164 students have graduated from the program. Many serve in Christian and secular media jobs throughout Latin America.
