Credit may be awarded for learning from life experiences, and the 48-credit major in organizational management can be completed in approximately 18 months by attending classes one night a week and one Saturday per term. Instructors for the program are drawn from OVC's faculty and qualified individuals from the business community. Student performance is most often evaluated by summary papers, class discussion and participation, project work, and written exercises.
Evaluation minimizes the traditional reliance on written examinations.
Student involvement in the learning process is featured throughout the program. Student Cohorts Degree completion students accomplish the program as a cohort, a group of individuals who stay together for about a year and a half. These individuals develop a strong sense of community and also become a strong support system for each other. This system optimizes the interchange of ideas and experiences and enhances collaboration and class interaction, allowing adults to excel in their particular learning situation.
