History

The original curriculum for the college was developed in 1990 as a joint Urban Ministry degree program offered by Grace University in Omaha, NE and the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions. The AGRM, founded in 1913, is an association based in Colorado Springs, CO of over 300 ministries that each year serve nearly 42 million meals, provide more than 15 million nights of lodging, bandage the emotional wounds of thousands of abuse victims, and graduate 18,000-plus individuals from addiction recovery programs. In 1998, the AGRM established its own distance learning program using these courses and called it Rescue College. In the years that followed, the curriculum was further expanded to create the degree completion program: a Bachelor of Arts in Missions with an urban ministry emphasis.

The college was accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission in 2005. In January 2008, AGRM transferred ownership of the college to TechMission, and its name was changed to City Vision College.

In October 2008, City Vision College launched an Addiction Studies program, using material developed by the NET Institute, which can be taken in either a degree completion format to earn a Bachelor of Science or as a certificate program.

In June 2009, TechMission began an internship/scholarship program by partnering with urban ministries throughout North America. The tuition-paid program frequently includes housing provided by the hosting organization for the intern's year of service on-site.

A BS in Nonprofit Management became available in January 2010. In 2014, the college launched a Master's program in Technology & Ministry. In 2015, changed its name to City Vision University and added an Associate's and Bachelor's in Business Administration
