Oakwood University - OU Speciality : Journalism and Media Studies
programme: BA in Journalism and Media Studies: Journalism

As a French international student, Oakwood University provided the supportive community I needed to thrive both academically and personally. This Historically Black College and University (HBCU) is a faith-based, family oriented institution where students are seen as individuals — not just numbers.

With class sizes ranging from a few as 3 to around 30 students, I found an environment that welcomed me as a non-native English speaker. I felt seen, heard, and encouraged to participate. The small classes also meant direct access to professors — educators who propel us forward, walk alongside us, and often become our mentors and biggest cheerleaders.

Oakwood University is a global campus, welcoming students from all over the world — each with unique backgrounds, beliefs, and stories, yet united by a shared goal: to be equipped and transformed into agents of change for today’s world and tomorrow’s challenges.

The university remains deeply committed to uplifting minorities, fighting injustice, defending the rights of the oppressed, and championing the success of every student.

If you are looking to be a part of a legacy — where faith, purpose, and education intersect — Oakwood University is the place for you.
