BACKGROUND

Wilberforce University is the first institution of higher education owned and operated by African Americans. Named after the 18th century English statesman and abolitionist, William Wilberforce, the university is one of two four-year-institutions in the country with a mandatory Co-operative Education program.

 

HEALTH RELATED ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

The Rehabilitation Services Program provides students with the knowledge and competencies to assist physically, psychologically, and vocationally disabled persons to realize their fullest potential. The program prepares students for entry-level positions in the helping professions.  There are two majors: Mental Health and Rehabilitation Generalist.

 

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

Wilberforce University offers a variety of majors in Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees.  Qualifying candidates may also apply for Adult Degree Completion programs. 

 

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Under the leadership of Dr. Rembert E. Stokes, cooperative education was implemented at Wilberforce University in 1964 and became a mandatory cooperative education program in 1967. This placed Wilberforce among other forerunners in academia demanding dual excellence of its students. The mission of the Cooperative Education and Career Services Center is to be a premier Cooperative Education and Career Services Center by providing excellent value-added work integrated learning (WIL), job search preparation, career exploration opportunities and graduate school admission information aimed at satisfying the career aspirations of all matriculating students and graduates of Wilberforce University . Cooperative education is the heartbeat of the academic program at Wilberforce.
