Guaranteed Career Opportunities

Worried about your student’s job options with a business degree? Afraid they might get stuck in a career path they don’t love? They’re in luck.

A Bachelor’s degree in business is versatile, so they will have many different options to explore. Here at Oak Valley College, we’ve built career services into our degree program, so it’s a natural part of their experience. We’ll work with them to explore career options and opportunities that fit their passion and talents.

Career services will help them :

  • Navigate the career planning process

  • Discover and consider professions that fit their strengths and interests

  • Explore internship opportunities (sophomores)

  • Conduct their senior year career search (after one or more internships)

  • Pinpoint at least one career option upon graduation

Our goal is to help them discover their options while narrowing their choices to an ideal first or second career. They’ll be able to take the career planning skills their learn here and replicate them over and over, long after graduation.

“The short length of the program and the cost make it a smart choice, and the skills I’ll learn will transfer to other industries, like education. I can do a lot with a business degree.”

At Oak Valley College, students will earn their Bachelor of Arts in Business in 2 years and 8 months. Don’t click away yet—a business degree doesn’t mean they have to own a business!

Getting your BA in Business will give them a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that can transfer to multiple industries and career paths. They can start a business if you like, but they can also pursue a career in management, retail, service, healthcare, hospitality, education, nonprofit work, ministry, the public or private sector, and so much more.

Why Your Debt-Free Degree Matters

Going to college should put students ahead financially, not set them back.

  • $800,000 or more in earnings over the lifetime of your career (and possibly millions)

  • Valuable, connected relationships with a community of peers and mentors

  • Dedicated Christian professors who care about your student and their future.

  • Guided education and career development training that sets them up for success.

On average, American college graduates have roughly $30,000 in student loans. You and your student shouldn’t have to take on astronomical debt in order to further their education and brighten their future. But, skipping out on college isn’t a better alternative. Choosing not to get your Bachelor’s degree could cost your student:
