Your college degree is within reach, and with OCU Pathways, your life experience could have you even closer to graduation than you think. At Oklahoma City University, we're passionate about the power of a college degree, and about connecting you to that degree in a way that respects your unique skills and experiences. With OCU Pathways, we review life, work and military experience so that we can award real college credit toward your degree. This stacks on top of college credit you've already earned, meaning you have a new, faster pathway to college graduation. And with convenient, affordable online classes, you don't have to disrupt your life or your bank account to find your path to graduation.
OCU Pathways students can choose from a variety of Bachelor of Business Administration undergraduate degrees. Each of these degree programs is housed in OCU's Meinders School of Business, which holds the prestigious AACSB accreditation, placing Meinders within the top 6% of business schools in the world.
Earning a college degree is a smart move, and the statistics back it up. The U.S. Social Security Administration reports that college graduates experience higher annual pay and weekly earnings, which can lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars in increased income over a lifetime. Graduates also enjoy lower unemployment, better job security and increased chances of establishing a career, as opposed to simply having a job, according to research shared by the National Institutes of Health.
The takeaway: A college degree can unlock new possibilities for you and your family, and we want to help create the pathway to get you there!
