.....CTU is conveniently
located in South Jacksonville, in a community called Mandarin, at 12021
Old St. Augustine Road, just one mile south of I-295. This interstate
loop connects with I-10 from the west and I-95 from the north and
south. The area is also served by U.S. Highways 1, 17, 23, and 301.
Jacksonville is accessible by air at the Jacksonville International

Jacksonville is a major southeastern city with a population of over one
million and a geographical area larger than any U.S. city. The "Bold
New City of the South" has tremendous potential and room for growth,
and it has much to offer students, families and Christian workers.

LIBRARY
.....For the study and
research convenience of each student, CTU has a growing theological
library with commentaries, histories, and word study texts, as well as
textbooks covering almost every spectrum of Bible study. The library
books, however, are for on-campus use only, not for non-enrolled
students. We also provide enrolled students (on-campus) with access to
libraries worldwide via the Internet.
HOUSING
.....CTU currently has no
student housing of its own available. However, Jacksonville has every
conceivable type of housing in all price ranges. Houses and apartments
are more reasonable that in most major cities. Many neighborhoods and
communities within the city are actually like small towns.
EMPLOYMENT
.....Jacksonville, with a
population of over one million people is a major business hub of
banking, communication, distribution, education, insurance,
manufacturing, medicine, shipping, tourism, wholesaling, and the U.S.
Navy. Also, the area has a significant percentage of born-again
Christians and Bible believing churches. There is therefore great
opportunity to find both ministry and secular work.

many excellent opportunities for learning. It is the home of Edward
Waters College, Florida Community College of Jacksonville, Jacksonville
University, Jones College, Trinity Baptist College, the University of
North Florida, and extensions of several other universities. There are
a number of vocational, technical and business schools. Also, there are
many Christian day schools, including Conservative Christian Academy
(K-12th grade), located on the same campus with CTU. Students enrolled
with CTU are provided partial scholarships for their children to attend
K-12th grades at CCA.

symphony orchestra, ballet company, national football league, theaters,
art galleries, museums, zoo, and many special concerts and other events.

worship, and study.
