Education

The Department of Education at Oakwood University envisions that students entering the teaching profession will demonstrate willingness and the ability to adapt to the quickened pace of academic and cultural change in a world that is fast becoming a multicultural society.  Students trained in a Seventh-day Adventist institution of higher learning must seek to develop a positive educational philosophy built upon a distinctly Christian global view.  (Knight 1998)  We are in a new age, the age of information and of global competition.  The learning age must have global perspectives at its heart.  Learners of all agees have the right to learn about the wider world as an integral part of initiatives, revised standards and quality assurance.  (Bourne 1998).

This department is under the division of Academic Affairs.
