Dubbed "Hard Work U." by the Wall Street Journal, no full-time student pays for tuition; instead, each works 15 hours a week at a campus job. Under the guidance of industry professionals, The Keeter Center staffs over 300 students, equipping them with skills for the hospitality and food service industries. College of the Ozarks is a private, Christian, liberal arts college, located in Point Lookout, Missouri, on a 1,000-acre campus. Christian values, hard work, and financial responsibility comprise the fundamental building blocks of the “Hard Work U.” experience. To achieve its vision, the College pursues academic, vocational, Christian, patriotic, and cultural goals.
