Academic integrity
Students complete structured college-level coursework, assessments, projects, and applied learning aligned with program outcomes.
Partnership & accreditation
Accredited pathways. Local access. Personal connection.
Our partnership model makes recognized biblical higher education available in Central Ohio through a flexible, relational, and affordable college experience.
Our institutional partnership
OCC operates as a satellite campus in partnership with ICM.
The International College of Ministry is headquartered in Orlando, Florida and provides the accredited academic framework through which OCC offers biblical higher education programs.
This collaboration gives students the opportunity to pursue accredited study while remaining connected to a local Central Ohio learning community. Students benefit from online curriculum, in-person instruction, faculty engagement, mentoring, and applied learning.
The partnership supports Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate pathways while allowing OCC to focus on accessible delivery, academic integrity, spiritual formation, and student support.
Why this model matters
Quality and accessibility can work together.
OCC’s structure is designed to preserve academic substance while reducing the overhead that often makes higher education inaccessible.
Doctrinal identity
The partnership allows OCC to maintain a distinctly Christian educational environment rooted in Scripture and spiritual formation.
Financial accessibility
A streamlined satellite model helps OCC offer straightforward tuition options and reduce barriers for students pursuing higher education.
A note about transferability
Credit decisions are made by the receiving institution.
OCC evaluates incoming transfer credit individually based on course relevance, grade earned, and program requirements. Credits earned through OCC may be transferable to another institution depending on that institution’s own policies and articulation agreements.
