Oklahoma Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program Classes

The Oklahoma Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program - OSLEP - is an intercollegiate academic program sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education open to students at all the public and private universities in Oklahoma. The twenty-two students accepted for each OSLEP class study with a distinguished scholar. The OSLEP classes meet for 5 days.

Students have a minimum of 45 contact hours with the visiting scholar and the faculty resource (FRP) person assigned to each class. Students are expected to complete the assigned readings before the class begins. The scholar selects the readings and often provides a reading guide; the faculty resource person directs the student preparation, evaluates student performance (oral and written), and assigns grades. S/U grades are based on the students' preparation and ability to handle the assigned readings; attendance and participation in the class activities; contribution to the discussions and intellectual content of the class; and performance in the assigned written work or special project. After the conclusion of the class, the students are generally required to write a 10-15 page paper.

OSLEP classes are residential. Students will spend four nights in dormitories on the campus. Classes usually run Wednesday morning through Sunday afternoon and students must miss their regular classes. The scholar-leadership program provides room and board, as well as books, at no charge to the students. Students pay a flat fee to attend. There are no non-resident fees.
