The School of Business supports the mission of Oakwood University by promoting excellence in providing quality Christian education for business students, enabling them to meet the challenges of the global competitive marketplace and to wholeheartedly serve God and humanity.
Oakwood’s Master of Business Administration in Leadership degree trains professionals who want to advance to executive levels in corporate, government, or private sectors. Along with standard courses in organization, strategy and finance, OU’s MBA in Leadership also explores the concept of “servant leader,” and how it applies in today’s world. The online program of 36 credits only takes 12-18 months to complete.
Graduates of Oakwood’s MBA in Leadership program will step into a career forecast of growth through 2026. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 10 percent increase in jobs for training and development managers, seven percent for sales managers, and eight percent for top-level executives. The MBA in Leadership degree also prepares graduates to work as consultants, global managers, human resource managers, and small business owners.
