School of Business Administration

The School of Business Administration has enjoyed many years of success, consistently producing graduates of the highest caliber who go on to make a tremendous impact on both their field of study and their community. Our alumni stretch across the globe and have emerged as leaders wherever they go. At home, the school has grown to become an anchor institution of Detroit’s business community, producing a steady stream of capable graduates and leading faculty research that have been critical factors in the region’s rebirth and renaissance from the economic downturn of 2008.

Additionally, like other leading schools, the School of Business Administration is continually implementing new and innovative programming, modes of instruction, and student services that extend beyond the lecture hall and utilize instructional space in unique ways. To date, our inventive faculty and staff have done an excellent job in keeping pace with, and in some cases, leading our peer institutions in areas such as modular classrooms, comprehensive student services, and specialized laboratories.

To remain a leader in the field, investment in the Aspire. Advance. Achieve. Campaign for Oakland University will focus on enhancing physical spaces, programmatic offerings, and instructional capacity.
