Oklahoma Christian University

Home is the campus vibe at Oklahoma Christian. And it’s a big reason why OC is recognized as one of the best universities in the West by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review.

OC’s close-knit community creates a culture where students, faculty, and staff go the extra mile for each other. Our knowledgeable professors teach from a Christian world-view and are fiercely dedicated to high standards of scholarship.

But their commitment to students goes beyond the classroom. Their office doors are open, and you’ll see them side by side with students in the cafeteria, at games against our NCAA Division II rivals, and in real-world ministry as part of our Ethos spiritual life program.

Oklahoma Christian opens doors to faith-infused learning at home and abroad. OC’s location just 10 minutes from downtown Oklahoma City provides access to jobs and internships, plus big-city entertainment like the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder. Our global reach includes 20 study abroad and off-campus learning options, plus service opportunities that take students around the world to help people in need.

OC is a place where you can find your purpose and calling. OC is a place where you can get the tools and support you need to live life to the fullest. OC is home.
