Oakes College Academics

At Oakes College we seek to provide our students with a quality education. To us this means not only preparing students for University-level coursework, but providing them with the skills to live thoughtful and productive lives and to work with people of other backgrounds who may hold different values.

In the Oakes College Core Course, Values and Change in a Diverse Society, we explore the interaction between our personal histories and our educational experiences and how this interaction shapes not only our learning, but our personal identities as well. Using these concepts, Oakes students are able to view their University experiences through a lens of diversity and equality.
