What awaits you at OCU?

The nurturing educational environment that I experienced at OCU helped prepare me not just academically but also spiritually and emotionally! God always prepares a way, we just need to be faithful servants, willing to be used for His Glory! I am blessed to serve Him and have a bonus in getting to do so on a beautiful island.

It’s hard to leave your country, your family and friends for a while… but whenever I am at OCU it is like I am part of another family with my friends and teammates.

What Kind of Leader Do You Want to Be?

Leaders aren’t born. They are grown.

OCU’s academic programs are designed to help you grow into a true Mighty Oak, a leader in your chosen field. Through our Center for Calling and Career, we provide intensive student support to help you reach your goals.

Affording OCU

Tuition at OCU is far more affordable than you think! The high-value education you will receive as a Mighty Oak is within reach through financial aid, which 100% of our students utilize every year.

Test-Optional

Oakland City University is working harder than ever to expand access to more students.  As a test-optional institution, we consider other criteria equally important as standardized test scores, sometimes more so.
