Why OC?
Craft your story for purpose
Recognized for our academic leadership, high employment rates and Christian character, OC prepares you for a rewarding career and a purposeful life of service.
Focus on OC’s Biblical Mission
We’re building the next generation of Christian leaders.
Values that come from the Bible, not prevailing culture
Since its founding in 1950, OC has sought to fulfill its mission to transform lives for Christian faith, scholarship and service. We welcome students of all faith backgrounds and traditions. All students, faculty and staff agree to abide by our covenant when joining the university.
The Student Experience
Your education extends beyond the classroom.
We are a place where students find calling, career and community. With more than 60 student organizations, 20 NCAA DII and club sports, work-study opportunities, and a city full of restaurants, shops and entertainment, you’ll find plenty to do outside the classroom.
Prioritizing health and safety
Your wellbeing matters.
Academic success requires a holistic approach to well-being, encompassing physical, emotional and spiritual health. We offer a comprehensive range of resources to support students in all three areas, as well as prioritizing safety with 24/7/365 campus police protection.
