With modern facilities and a diverse curriculum, University of the Ozarks is large enough to offer a challenging and rewarding education, yet small enough to take a personal interest in their students.  On the picturesque 30-acre campus, where grand traditions are combined with beautiful facilities and state-of-the-art technology, students benefit from a variety of opportunities to balance studies with healthy recreation on and off the campus.

 

Founded in 1834, the University of the Ozarks is a four year, comprehensive, private university affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.

 

The University of the Ozarks aims to provide a uniquely supportive, academically sophisticated and challenging environment on a beautiful campus adjacent to the Ozark Mountains. Its first priority is the education of students who come to us from diverse religious, cultural, educational, and economic backgrounds.
