Admission
What if you could graduate college without a dollar in debt?
Your career shouldn't start in the red. Or cost you your future. We have the path to a business degree that’s 100% debt-free.
Let’s make college make sense again.
They said affordable college was impossible. We proved them wrong. As a nonprofit, we use grants and donations to slash your tuition—covering more than half the cost. And we cut the extras you don’t need: no football team, no fancy dorms, no country-club campus. Here, you experience what matters: real education, real growth, real community.
“Oak Valley College has been one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences I have ever had.”
