Ohio Christian University was saddened to learn that Cincinnati Christian University would close at the end of the semester. The loss of campus community and the uncertainty this news brings must be an incredible burden.
Ohio Christian is prepared to welcome CCU students into our family and has made a transfer agreement with CCU to help current students complete their education as easily as possible. Additionally, we have created a special scholarship for CCU students who transfer full time to Ohio Christian University to ease the financial burden of transferring.
The administration at OCU is working closely with CCU to ensure their students can continue their education programs with as little disruption as possible. There will be a special Preview Day for CCU students to visit Ohio Christian on November 22 where students will have the opportunity to meet directly with our admissions counselors. The university will continue to send out information and resources as it becomes available.
