At Oakland University, we are proud to be among the most inclusive and welcoming college campuses in the region, and country.
An OU educational experience is distinguished by a range of opportunities for “hands on” learning, one-on-one engagement with our talented faculty, and a supportive campus culture.
We take great pride in focusing on programs and services that foster student success; timely and practical research; partnerships with communities that have a measurable and transformative impact; and, creating a culture that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion.
Among our top priorities is for an OU education to be affordable and accessible to students from diverse social and economic backgrounds. In September, The Wall Street Journal assessment of the best colleges in America ranked OU as the “best value for investment” among our peer institutions.
Located in metropolitan Detroit’s northern suburbs, OU is situated on 1,500 park-like acres of ecological diversity, and in a region of breathtaking lakes, streams and preservation of land. Along with being positioned in an inspiring natural environment, OU maintains exceptional relationships with a range of corporate and industry neighbors. Those key relationships translate into an array of internships and career opportunities whereby students readily realize the value of their “education investment.”
A major point of pride is that OU graduates are the “talent backbone” of the region. Their work and leadership are shaping the region’s economic future.
Come visit us, and learn more about the Golden Grizzly experience. I know you’ll be inspired to imagine the possibilities of your career and life.
