OC is my home. And that s the experience we want you to have here. Home is where you learn, grow, connect with others and take some risks. Home doesn t prepare you to stay there. It prepares you for life, to be able to go out into the world and succeed.

John deSteiguer 2021-2022 UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC CATALOG 3 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER Welcome to Oklahoma Christian University, a place where the invitation is open for you to call it home and to grow with us as we learn together. Colleges and universities are recognized as places to explore and query some of the most profound questions, and at OC, we face these questions head on. We find ourselves faced with unprecedented challenges and opportunities and it demands that we think intentionally and strategically about how best to educate the young minds and hearts to positively impact our communities.
8 We are all called to lives that will serve the world in which we live and to address important issues that include public health, economic challenges and social structures that can create instability in our culture. Our educational institution is founded on the recognition that a Christian worldview must be central to how we educate, whether in the laboratory, serving in missions around the world or pursuing a degree that will allow you to serve in any profession you choose. I can assure you that our faculty will challenge you to think critically, question deeply and pursue truth with passion as you learn with us.
