It was a bright day in Circleville, Ohio when a small group of courageous students decided to go against convention, and follow their dreams of attending college by founding the Ohio Christian University.
With just a few classes, no library, and an old house for a classroom, the early days of Ohio Christian University were marked by determination and a relentless commitment to student success. Though times have changed and the University has grown, Ohio Christian’s core values of faith, learning, service and community remain the same.
Ohio Christian University offers an education that is both academically and spiritually enriching. Students may choose from 70 undergraduate majors and 10 graduate programs in areas such as business, communications, criminal justice and psychology. As an added bonus for students with career goals, Ohio Christian also offers an impressive number of certificate programs in such fields as accounting, human resources, marketing, real estate and more.
At Ohio Christian University, learning isn’t limited to the classroom. The University is committed to providing students with hands-on experience in their field through internships and volunteer opportunities. The faculty is dedicated to providing personalized attention to each student’s needs, while challenging them to become confident leaders in their chosen field.
Ohio Christian also offers students several ways to stay active on campus with over 45 clubs and organizations ranging from sports teams to performance arts clubs. And if you just need some relaxation time, the on-campus fitness facilities provide a perfect escape from the stresses of college life.
Beyond academics and athletics, Ohio Christian’s campus is full of life! Festivals, open mic nights and community service projects regularly take place here, giving students the chance to connect with their communities and make lifelong friends.
At Ohio Christian University we believe that education should stretch beyond the walls of the classroom. We strive to nurture our student's faith and passion for learning, while also creating an environment that encourages service and community engagement.
