OLLU - Rio Grande Valley

OUR LADY OF THE LAKE UNIVERSITY (OLLU) offers weekday, evening, weekend and online programs in the Rio Grande Valley at our campus in La Feria. Weekday and evening programs are designed for transfer students and are offered in a traditional 16-week format. OLLU’s weekend programs, designed for the working adult, meet every other weekend to allow for a balance of work, family and school. Most weekend classes meet eight times per term, and there are three terms per year.

OLLU has had a presence in the Rio Grande Valley for more than a decade.

OLLU Offers More Than a Degree

Attending Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) offers so much more than an opportunity to earn a degree. Challenging academics, enthusiastic faculty who mentor and guide you, and a campus community that supports you are just some of the things our students note when describing their OLLU experience.

Add the strong foundation laid by our founders, the Congregation of Divine Providence, our commitment to community service and our long-lasting dedication to social justice, and you have an overall experience that will shape you, your career and your community to make the world a better place. For 127 years, OLLU has created powerful social change through programs that respond to the needs of the times. Become part of this change. Become a Saint!
