But the College also prepared me well for graduate study. I saw there that I was at the same level as those in my class that had attended a variety of 'big name' universities." - Bryan Crump, a 1986 mathematics education graduate and teacher at Oakland Christian School in Pontiac, Michigan, earned his masters degree from Oakland University.
