College of the Ozarks is a Christian school that overlooks Lake Taneycomo in Point Lookout, Missouri. Admissions and financial aid work a little differently at C of O, as it is known for short. In each incoming class, 90 percent of learners must show financial need to be accepted. Once registered, learners work 15 hours each week for a campus program, such as the school’s museum or clinic. The money earned from these jobs, plus scholarships and grants, covers the student’s entire tuition. With this work program, learners who may not otherwise be able to afford college can pursue their studies and major in any of more than 40 subject areas.

Outside the classroom, C of O learners can participate in many campus events, such as an epic tug-of-war game at Mud Fest or the Sadie Hawkins dance. College of Ozarks also offers several faith-based organizations and strictly prohibits alcohol and tobacco. Student athletes can play for the Bobcats varsity sports teams, which participate in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics in the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference.
