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:
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
