- University of the Ozarks is home to students seeking to find motivation to think bigger, be courageous, and develop a clear view of the world and their place in it. Located at the base of the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Clarksville, Arkansas, the University is a place where students experience the opportunity to live fully, learn deeply, experience widely, and make an impact far beyond the campus community as they pursue the goal of becoming the best version of themselves. The University provides the challenging academic framework, mentoring and motivation, and strong sense of community to support students in the pursuit of their goals. Established in 1834, the Presbyterian-affiliated, liberal arts university is the oldest institution of higher education in Arkansas.
