Ottawa University's main residential campus is located in Ottawa, Kansas, approximately 45 miles southwest of Kansas City in the state's eastern region. Established in 1865 in collaboration with the Ottawa Indian tribe, the university maintains its historic roots through a traditional liberal arts campus featuring limestone buildings and modern academic facilities spread across 65 acres. As a private, Christian institution affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA, Ottawa University operates with selective admission standards and offers undergraduate programs primarily in business, education, and health sciences. The campus provides traditional dormitory housing for its residential student population, and the Ottawa Braves compete in the NAIA's Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, where they have established a notable presence in basketball and football.
