For People, Not Profit
Some universities focus on profits. Ottawa University focuses on people.
It makes a difference.
You hear a lot of talk today about for-profit universities. That's because the Department of Education has published concerns about the high student loan default rates and low graduation rates at for-profit universities.
What's more, since for-profits are responsible to shareholders for a profit, they often charge more for tuition.
What does that mean for you?
We believe the business of a university should be education -- not profit.
Our focus is on our students -- keeping tuition rates affordable, and supporting their educational experience.
