History
Olivet existed as a small bible college from 1992 until 2000 – the year the Evangelical Assembly of Presbyterian Churches in America (EAPCA) officially launched Olivet Theological College & Seminary (OTCS). The bible college was intended to train the denomination’s ministers. OTCS eventually functioned more as a "seedbed" for mission, offering multiple study fields and distance-learning to ministry-bound students.
Olivet's flagship college, Olivet Theological College & Seminary, developed, necessitating several major changes to accommodate the school’s diverse student body. It was broken into separate institutions, each offering different degree programs. In addition to OTCS, there is the Jubilee College of Music, Olivet College of Journalism, Olivet College of Art & Design, Olivet College of Information Technology, Olivet College of Language Education, and Olivet College of Business.
Currently, Olivet University's main campus is located in the heart of San Francisco, where it has been since 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
