College of the Ozarks (Point Lookout, MO)
Founded in 1906, College of the Ozarks is a private, Christian liberal arts college in the small town of Point Lookout, in the Ozark Mountains just south of Branson. The current student enrollment is approximately 1500 individuals; the college maintains a 13-to-one student-to-faculty ratio.
Students at College of the Ozarks pay no tuition. Every student participates in a work-study program and is required to work 15 hours a week while school is in session, and two 40-hour weeks during each break. The college was specifically designed for students who have the merit but not the means to procure a higher education. In turn, the college has been nicknamed “Hard Work U,” a name and motto it has proudly embraced.
College of the Ozarks, which currently offers over 30 majors, has the reputation for being one of the most conservative campuses and having the most conservative student body in the country. The school was named the #1 Best Buy College in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report.
