The Evangelical Presbyterian University College (EPUC) is a Christian private tertiary institution founded by the Evangelical Presbyterian (E.P.) Church and styled the Premier University of the Volta Region of Ghana. Its mission is teaching, advancement of knowledge, research and community service for the development of human potential in Ghana, Africa and the wider world. Its motto is "Knowledge is Light", its core values are truth, honesty, justice, hard work, discipline and togetherness, and its stated aim is to bring university education to the doorstep of the people of the Volta Region and Ghana as a whole. It also intends to be an IT-based institution and an open institution for mature and talented people who were previously excluded from university education.
EPUC has two campuses. The Central Municipal Campus is in Ho, the Volta Regional capital, with an annex at Ho-Kpodzi near the E.P. Church headquarters. The Greenhills Campus is at Peki in the South Dayi District, on the grounds of the E.P. Church Seminary.
