About
Nicknamed "Hard Work U," College of the Ozarks is a tuition-free Christian liberal arts institution where all full-time students work 15 hours per week at on-campus work stations to cover the entire cost of their tuition. The college is especially well-regarded for practical programs in agriculture, nursing, education, and business administration, frequently integrating coursework with hands-on responsibilities at campus-run enterprises like an operational dairy farm, mill, and the Keeter Center lodge. Campus culture is deeply rooted in traditional Christian values, patriotism, and a strong work ethic, creating a disciplined, close-knit community committed to graduating completely debt-free.
