School Overview:

School Notes:

• With our roots dating back to 1834, University of the Ozarks is the oldest institution of higher education in the Arkansas/Oklahoma territory. We were the first co-educational school west of the Mississippi River, the first college in Arkansas to graduate a woman (1872), the first historically white college to admit an African-American (1957) and the first institution of higher education to provide support to students with learning disabilities (the Jones Learning Center).
• At Ozarks, you will have access to facilities including well-equipped science labs and art studios, state-of-the-art "smart" classrooms, a well-stocked library and two theaters for student productions. We combine a heritage of excellence with an exceptional standard of academic achievement to produce the finest education possible.
• The campus has a long history at its current location, dating back to 1891. In the years since the first cornerstone was laid on the site, the campus has undergone continued growth and improvement. There are now more than 20 buildings on campus, with the ten major buildings arranged around a central mall which features a picturesque fountain. The large trees and the classically styled buildings combine to give the campus a distinctive look you'll long remember!
