History
Oakwood College is a four-year, private, coed, liberal arts college affiliated with the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Oakwood was founded in 1896 as the Oakwood Industrial School. In 1904, the name was changed to Oakwood Manual Training School, and it was chartered to grant degrees in 1907. In 1917, the school offered its first instruction at the postsecondary level, and in that same year it changed its name to Oakwood Junior College. In 1944, the present name, Oakwood College, was adopted. The first bachelor’s degrees were awarded in 1945.
Oakwood College has been a member of the United Negro College Fund since 1964. As a Seventh-Day Adventist college, Oakwood’s mission is “Christ-centered, and designed to integrate faith and learning, as well as prepare students for the job of service in this world.”
The twenty-three-building campus occupies 1,185 acres in Huntsville, Alabama. The main campus is on 105 acres, with another 500 acres under cultivation. The campus continues to grow in both programs and facilities. The J. L. Moran Building, constructed in 1939, stands with more recently erected buildings such as the Trula E. Wade Residence Hall, constructed in 1991.
