Statement of Graduates and Students

Ottawa University provides me the kind of education beyond just a diploma and good GPAs. My experience at OU expanded my vision of who and what I could be professionallyand personally.

Ottawa University opened many doors for me.  After I have achieved my Bachelor degree, I completed a MA in Accounting of the Hong Kong City University.  Now, I am a qualified Accountant of HKICPA.  I’d recommend Ottawa University to anyone who wishes to study for a recognized US Bachelor Degree.

I am currently in my second class with Ottawa University. I am very impressed with the staff and the support they provide. I have had professors who are always available for questions and willing to help.  It is much easier to learn the format of college life than I thought it would be.  To my surprise I have quickly adapted to the learning experience.  I would recommend this school to others who are thinking of going back to school.
