I like it here. When you have your instructor’s telephone number to call or text if you need anything, that’s something. That’s the reality here.”

The Tools You Need to Succeed
From enrollment to graduation, The University of Olivet is committed to your personal, academic and career success. How do we make this happen? Our highly qualified faculty and staff are committed to engaging with you, our students, throughout the learning process. While the learning that happens in the classroom is powerful and important, you also grow as an individual while you live, play and interact with your faculty and peers outside the classroom. In fact, we often form connections with students that last well beyond graduation.
Arts and Humanities
Arts and Humanities refers to a broad range of subjects that include — but are not limited to — English, literature, media production and communication, music, philosophy, writing, visual arts, graphic design, ethics, world languages and religion. Students who select a major in the Arts and Humanities study the achievements of the human spirit and mind. Students work within a variety of disciplines in order to acquire a deeper understanding of themselves, civilization and the world.

Business
Business majors and minors are designed to combine a strong liberal arts education with courses and activities related to the nature and operation of today’s for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Coursework emphasizes analytical and critical thinking as well as the application of material to case studies and simulations, rather than memorization alone. Students will be prepared to contribute immediately in their career or in a graduate school environment.
