Oak Hills Christian College is a small Christian college in Bemidji, Minnesota, with roots in Bible-centered education and ministry preparation. Its present-day programs also include subjects outside ministry, reflecting a broader undergraduate curriculum than its name alone might suggest.
Applicants interested in how the college developed should distinguish the history of Oak Hills Christian College from that of the wider Oak Hills organization. The college's current academic catalog is the appropriate place to check historical milestones alongside the degree programs and policies in effect today.
Oak Hills Christian College offers undergraduate study with a substantial emphasis on biblical and Christian ministry subjects. Fields represented in its academic records include Bible, missions, worship, theological and ministerial studies, and pastoral counseling, alongside areas such as business, psychology, communication, and health-related studies.
The college's size matters when evaluating a major: a field appearing in historical program records is not necessarily accepting new students or offering every course each term. Prospective students should compare the current catalog's credential, required courses, delivery format, and course rotation before choosing a program. The student-to-faculty ratio is reported as 10 to 1, but that institution-wide figure does not establish the size of a particular class or the availability of a particular instructor.
Oak Hills Christian College is located in Bemidji, a northern Minnesota city. Its setting differs from that of a large metropolitan campus: students considering internships, employment, or off-campus housing should assess what is available locally and how they would get there.
Bemidji Regional Airport is the nearest airport identified in institutional information. First-year students may have a car on campus, which could be useful for errands and travel beyond the immediate campus area. Students planning to commute should also account for northern Minnesota winter conditions.
Oak Hills Christian College has an explicitly Christian educational identity, with biblical study and preparation for service central to its stated purpose. That identity is relevant even for applicants considering a non-ministry field, because it can shape required coursework and campus activities.
Prospective students should read the college's current mission statement, statement of faith, and catalog requirements together. A mission statement describes institutional aims; it does not, by itself, demonstrate a particular academic or career outcome.
