Oakwood University’s LEAP Adult Degree Completion Program is designed to help adults who are employed full time to complete their degrees while continuing to work. 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 in approximately 18-24 months and students with 65 credits or more can generally finish in that timeframe; however, students with as few as 30 credits can be accepted. In addition to convenient evening classes, the program provides opportunities for personal and professional development in small group settings and in an adult-learner environment.
