About

The Accreditation

The University of Oklahoma will undergo a comprehensive evaluation visit March 5-7, 2012, by a team representing the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC-NCA).

 

The University of Oklahoma has been accredited by the Commission since 1913, the first year that the Commission started accrediting institutions of higher learning. Its accreditation is at the Doctoral Degree level and includes degree sites throughout the state and various other locations throughout the world.

 

Self Study Process

For the past year and a half, the University of Oklahoma has been engaged in a process of self-study, addressing the Commission's requirements and criteria for accreditation.

 

The evaluation team will visit the institution to gather evidence that the self-study is thorough and accurate and that OU satisfies the five criteria for continued accreditation. The team will recommend to the Commission a continuing status for the college; following a review process, the Commission itself will take the final action.

 

Thank You

The University is thankful to all those who assisted in the self-study process.  In addition to those persons serving on the eight self-study committees (see Committee Structure), the following people deserve special recognition: Lady Branham, Matthew Cooper, Beverly Dewey, Cody Jones, Jake Masters, Andrew Morris, Amanda Pennington, Dawn Tomlins, and Erin Yarbrough.
