Welcome to the University of Oklahoma! 

Our university offers very strong educational opportunities with more than 150 areas of study from which you can select a major. Here you will find gifted teachers, learned scholars and dedicated staff members all committed to your success. 

In addition, the university community offers many opportunities outside the classroom for your continued growth and development. Our students are actively involved in a variety of extracurricular activities and organizations. Through these activities they develop personal, social, intellectual, and occupational skills as well as recreational, wellness and ethical values essential for success. The vast range of opportunities at OU include campus governing bodies, sororities and fraternities, athletic teams, music groups, theater and the arts, and the campus media. We also offer many opportunities for study abroad through exchange agreements with 150 universities in 60 countries worldwide and a chance to interact with more than 1,400 outstanding international students on our own campus. 

OU President David L. Boren

Through campus employment, cooperative opportunities and internships in business and industry, we introduce our students to the world of the competitive workforce. We offer a wide array of services for career planning, and we work to attract employers from across the nation to meet and recruit future employees from OU. 

Whether you are a new or prospective student, a parent, or just interested in knowing more about OU, I invite you to explore this catalog which contains extensive information about our numerous academic and student-supported programs. If possible, I invite you to visit the campus to experience OU firsthand and to share our pride in being part of the tradition and future of the University of Oklahoma. 

Sincerely,
