Testimonials
“Enrolling in Oakwood University’s School of Business would have to be one of my best career choices. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to different internships, scholarships, and organizations within a given field. I am glad to be an alumna because I discovered my love of audit during my internship with the South Central Conference. In addition, I landed my first corporate job due to my active participation in Oakwood’s NABA student chapter. Overall, the resources are limitless, and the staff here will be sure to help you get to where you want to go.”
China Jasmin (Accounting, Class of 2016)
“As an Oakwood Business School graduate, I was well prepared for the corporate world I encountered. I was nurtured and cared for in a way that ensured I had the confidence to tackle the problems I would face in the workplace and beyond. The knowledge and character I developed have allowed me to achieve beyond my dreams.”
James English, MBA (Finance, Class of 2004)
“As a graduate of the School of Business, I am grateful for the training I received before transitioning to the work force. During the work day, I often recall specific moments when I learned about concepts that apply to the work I am currently doing today. After earning my degree in technology from Oakwood University, I was prepared to complete an MBA, and earn certifications as a Project Manager and Product Owner. If I had the opportunity to redo my decision to attend Oakwood University and major in Business Administration I would make the same choice.”
