Message From the Vice President of Instruction
Welcome to College of the Ouachitas. By visiting this site, you recognize that education remains one of the best investments anyone can make, and there could be no better time to pursue a degree or certificate. We hope you will find the academic, career, and leadership opportunities you seek here at College of the Ouachitas.
As you navigate this website, you will learn more about our many programs. We strive to achieve academic excellence throughout each of our academic programs. You will find the faculty knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to your success. The principal mission of the College of the Ouachitas administration is to support the educational programs of the College, the work of the faculty, and the learning of our students. My responsibility, as Vice President of Instruction, is to oversee this process, which is as inherently rewarding as it is challenging.
Our goal is to educate the leaders of tomorrow in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, criminal justice, business, applied science, and many, many others. We are deeply committed to an education that can best be described as “affordable excellence.” We have an accessible faculty dedicated to teaching, a commitment to a liberal arts core, and an educational model that encourages real-world experiences.
Our small size enables us to provide our students with personal attention. Take the time to meet and talk with members of our community - students, faculty and staff. You will enjoy getting to know them.
We are proud of our students and their deep commitment to completing their education and improving the world in which we live. I hope you, too, will want to be a part of our community. I look forward to welcoming you to our/your campus.
Dr. Martin Eggensperger
Vice President of Instruction
