LEAP is designed for you, the busy adult, aged 25 years or older, who has earned one or more years of accumulated college-level credits.
Oakwood University’s LEAP (Leadership Education for the Adult Professional) Adult Degree Completion Program is designed to help adults 25 and older who are employed full-time complete their degrees while maintaining a busy lifestyle.
LEAP students can earn a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Management, Psychology, Church Leadership, Information Technology, or General Studies. Classes are available year-round and meet one night a week or are taught partially online. All degrees are designed to be completed at an accelerated rate. Students with 60 credits or more can generally finish in about 18 months, though we accept students with as few as 24 credits. In addition to convenient evening and online classes, the program provides opportunities for personal and professional development in small group settings and in an adult-learner environment.
If You LEAP Ahead to a College Degree You Can:
• Learn in a relaxed adult environment
• Attend class one night per week or partially online
• Take one class at a time
• Convert significant life experiences into university credits by documenting past training and prior learning
• Attend small classes with the same small group for the entire program
• Earn a degree in Organizational Management, Psychology, or General Studies for financial aid
The purpose of the Adult and Continuing Education Department at Oakwood University is to provide adults access to educational opportunities, to enhance professional development, to promote leadership and service to the community, and to increase spiritual exposure. This program is offered in a compressed or independent format designed for the individual who wishes to earn a bachelor’s degree or continuing education units while continuing to work.
