The University of Oklahoma
In 1890, seventeen years before Oklahoma became a state,
the University of Oklahoma was founded upon authority of an
act of the first legislature of the Territory of Oklahoma.
The act stated the purpose of the University was "to
provide the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the
various branches of learning connected with scientific, industrial,
and professional pursuits."
Students were accepted for the first time in the fall of
1892, and the first two graduates received the degree of pharmaceutical
chemist in 1896. Two years later the first two bachelor of
arts degrees were awarded. The first master's degree was conferred
in 1900, the first degree of doctor of medicine in 1911 and
the first doctoral degree in 1929.
The University of Oklahoma is located in Norman, near the
center of the state, in Oklahoma City, the capital, and at
a branch in Tulsa. The offices of administration are in Norman.
On the Norman campus are the Graduate College, College of
Architecture, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business
Administration, College of Education, College of Engineering,
College of Fine Arts, College of Geosciences, College of Law,
College of Liberal Studies and College of Continuing Education.
On the Oklahoma City campus are the College of Allied Health,
College of Dentistry, College of Medicine, College of Nursing,
College of Pharmacy, College of Public Health, and the Graduate
College-Health Sciences Center; there is also a College of
Medicine branch program in Tulsa.
Norman
Established shortly after the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889,
Norman is currently a community of over 90,000 residents.
Norman is close to the state's capital and largest city, Oklahoma
City, and residents of Norman have easy access to cultural
and recreational activities. Lake Thunderbird, a few miles
east of Norman, provides a wide range of water activities,
and the city of Norman has numerous parks and tennis courts.
The first Norman settlers financed the University in its early
days, and the town's support continues to be a strong tradition.
Will Rogers International Airport in Oklahoma City (20 miles
from the Norman campus) links Norman to every major airport
in the U.S. Also, private aircraft can fly directly into Max
Westheimer Field in Norman. |
