In 2005, North Central Association granted Olivet Nazarene University continued accreditation and its more than 120 areas of study were reorganized into the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Education, School of Professional Studies, School of Theology and Christian Ministry, and the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies.
