Excellence in Business Education
We were founded to redefine higher education. Oak Valley College was established with a bold vision: to make high-quality, faith-based business education radically more accessible. At a time when college costs and student debt are rising rapidly, Oak Valley offers a smart, Christ-centered alternative—where students can earn a WASC-accredited Bachelor of Arts in Business in just 2 years and 8 months, with absolutely no student loans.
Since our founding, we have been redefining the college experience through a focused, personal, and practical approach to education. With small cohorts, a 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio, and dedicated professors who teach through a biblical worldview, students don't just earn a degree—they grow in wisdom, character, and real-world readiness.
