HEAD

At the core of the OCU Foundation is a commitment to provide an unequaled education in the liberal arts and sciences. This broad educational experience prepares our students with the knowledge necessary to apply the principles learned in the classroom to the problems and issues of today.

HEART

The preparation of the head without the connection to the heart leaves a person void of purpose. The University believes the spiritual formation of the individual is critical to the success of a student. Rich in the tradition of the General Baptist denomination OCU offers students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to investigate their own faith and to develop an understanding of what they truly believe and the ability to express their faith verbally.

HANDS

Knowledge without the ability to apply becomes little more than an academic exercise. The OCU Foundation gives students the opportunity to express their faith and academic achievements through guided responses such as international mission trips and community service.
