In the development of its educational programs, Ohio Christian University is committed to three areas of excellence: its learning environment, its spiritual environment, and its curricular content.

The faculty and college community share the belief that the Bible is a book of unparalleled truth and wisdom, and is the bedrock for all truth. We believe that its truth is enduring. Whatever questions future generations may bring to the Scriptures, its truth will be relevant, up-to-date, and will address the critical issues facing culture, pointing the way to truth and life.Consequently, a Bible major is integrated into every program.

We also strive for excellence in structuring our learning environment. Our finest and most modern campus facility is our library. Housed in our library are our computer labs. Adjacent to the library is our chapel in which services are held each school day.

We believe that in order to prepare students for success in life and in their careers, their minds
and study skills must be developed to their full potential. In concert with promoting learning, the spiritual life must also be developed. True learning that leads to wisdom is gained by balancing the cognitive discipline of learning with a growing relationship with Christ. Our educational goal is to prepare students to succeed in their careers as they answer the calling of God.

Finally, our faculty have carefully planned the curricula of the college so that it carries out our mission. The thrust of our mission is to prepare students to succeed in their ministries and careers. Our educational program is planned for students to be able to take with them significant learning experiences gained in the classrooms under the instruction of Christian professors, and spiritual experiences that become defining moments for their lives. Our goal as a college is to prepare our students for life as well or better than any college they may choose to attend.
