Mission and Vision

The University of Olivet’s mission is to provide an education that enriches lives intellectually, morally and spiritually to a diverse campus community. Having attained these qualities through their educational experiences at Olivet, our hope is that our graduates will embody the “divine art and science of doing good to others,” as stated by the University’s founding fathers in 1844. At The University of Olivet, we value the individual student. We make strides to ensure each student builds long-lasting relationships with professors and peers, experiences rewarding opportunities and gains the knowledge needed to be successful in any future career.

The University of Olivet Compact

Olivet is as dedicated today as we were at our founding to offering an education to all, regardless of race, gender or financial means. Through a series of seven principles, The University of Olivet Compact serves to promote and encourage responsibility among the college’s students, faculty, staff and board of trustees.
