Why a Bachelor of Arts in Business?
“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.”
Emma Patterson, Class of 2026
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:
Business Practice
Written Communication
Critical Thinking
Creative Problem Solving
Biblical Literacy and Christian Worldview
Oral Communication
Lifelong Learning
