Olivet Nazarene University

“Education with a Christian Purpose.” Since 1907, Olivet Nazarene University has made this more than a motto, but a mission. At Olivet, considered one of the nation’s premier Christian colleges, faith is at the heart of superior academics, athletics, social atmosphere and ministry opportunities.

Here, students not only learn how to make a living; they learn how to live. Since Olivet’s founding, more than 20,000 degrees have been granted to graduating students. Whether their chosen fields are in medicine, business, education, ministry or a myriad of other professions, Olivetians make a difference in the world for Christ and His kingdom.

We believe in the nearly 100-year-old foundation laid by families dedicated to Christian education

Mission
We believe education should have a higher purpose.
