Olivet University is a warm and friendly place to pursue a serious Christian education. Olivet University students come from a wide range of age groups, geographical areas, educational backgrounds, and cultural heritages.
All applicants to Olivet University should evidence strong Christian character, potential for effectiveness in Christian ministry, and the scholastic ability and emotional maturity to handle a higher education experience.
Olivet professors understand their academic work to be in the service of the church. Most faculty members have experienced ministry first-hand and all are currently engaged in the life of the church from the local to the national level.
As a Christian institution, we strive to create and promote an atmosphere consistent with the Christian faith, which encourages the student to develop his/her fullest potential, both in and out of the classroom.
Olivet University employees generally receive from 12 to 15 holidays each year. The state legislature determines the number of holidays, and the Olivet University Board of Directors approves the specific days based on the recommendations of the University President.
Students of Jubilee College of Music attended several Christian music festivals this summer, notably Creation Festival West Coast in George, Washington, and Spirit West Coast in Monterey, California.
