Program: Business Administration

The School of Business Administration program enables students to combine the intensive study of a functional area of business with a broad background in management. This combination will allow students to understand and manage changing situations in profit oriented enterprises and not-for-profit organizations, both public and private. In this program, a general education is combined with rigorous analytical training, enabling students to handle the increasing complex and changing problems faced by managers.

Admission Criteria

  1. GPA 2.8 (Your GPA will be established at OU because all transfer students will be placed into pre-business until they meet admission class requirements.)

Basic Requirements

Although Oakland University is a member of MTA, Oakland requires additional hours of General Education for their students beyond the 30 hours granted by MTA. Students are required to complete two additional general education courses once they transfer to OU which may be completed in your major. Oakland does not count English Composition as a general education (under MTA), but does require it for graduation.
