Academic Departments

Each area of study at Oakton “lives” in an academic department or career program. Once you choose a course of study, your program’s department and its division will become your academic home. 

Of course, you’re always welcome to take classes outside your department and your division as well. But your department will serve as home base, providing a close-knit community and plenty of support.
