An education of value

It is an education of value that offers programs of academic excellence along with abundant, diverse opportunities. At ONU, students can choose from over 70 majors and also participate in relevant internships, field experiences, community service and leadership development. There’s plenty of opportunity to take advantage of global study and travel or work abroad.

Students graduate ready to compete and succeed in a complex and changing world.

Faculty at ONU are experts in their fields, but passionate about teaching. We invite you to meet a few of them featured in our Elements of Excellence video series. Professors create a “can-do” environment where students can customize their areas of interest with mentorship and inspiration from faculty who champion their success.

The first-year experience offers personal attention, an academic advisor, personal tutoring and a Communication Skills Center to help with written and oral skills.
