College of the Ozarks

College of the Ozarks School Description
The mission of College of the Ozarks is to provide the advantages of a Christian education for youth of both sexes, especially those found worthy, but who are without sufficient means to procure such training.
College of the Ozarks is unique among higher education institutions in America: no tuition is charged, all students work on campus each semester, debt is openly discouraged, and no federal or state loans are made. Called “Hard Work U.” by The Wall Street Journal, deserving students are offered the advantages of a quality, Christian education.
Our institution has evolved from a high school to a thriving, four-year accredited institution that is committed to a five-fold mission of encouraging academic, Christian, cultural, vocational, and patriotic growth in its students. Starting as a tiny school on an Ozarks hill, the College has survived major fires, the Great Depression, wars, and struggles to be one of America’s finest—and most distinctive—institutions.
The College’s commitment to cultivating character and the work ethic and promoting Christian values has attracted renowned leaders such as President George Bush, Sr., President Gerald Ford, First Ladies Barbara Bush and Pat Nixon, Prime Minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher, and General Norman Schwarzkopf, among many others. While visiting the College, Lady Thatcher said, “The education that you get here is not only an education or a qualification for a degree; it is an education for life…”
For more than 100 years, this unique institution has educated the head, heart, and hands of countless young people. May God grant that it be so for the next 100 years and beyond.

They do not offer a meteorology major. http://www.petersons.com/UGChannel/code/InstVC.asp?inunid=8584&sponsor=13#Majors s |
Question: College of the Ozarks?Not Ozark Christian College... Anyone of you gone? Known anyone whos gone?!? Know anything at all??? lol.42 months ago
Best AnswerC of O is a great school and is known nationally as "Hard Work U" because it allows students to work at campus jobs to help pay for their tuition. It is a well endowed school that gives great scholarships by means of the work program and draws students from all over the country. Therefore, it is competitive as well. I don't live too far from the campus and it is very nice - and it's located by Branson, Missouri, which is a tourist area that offers lots of jobs for students as well. C of O's student jobs range from working at their own airport to working in the college's restaurant (which is great, by the way). I know several students who have gone there over the past few years from my area and they absolutely love it. From cheerleading to music to sports, their extra curricular activities are great as well. I am impressed with their president and faculty (I work at another college) and highly recommend the school. You will make friends from across the US and world - and cherish those friendships for life. Not to mention graduate without the burden of enormous student loans! |
