We do know it takes more than a textbook. More than a classroom. More than a body of like-minded students, all are striving to realize their aspirations and ambitions. However, it takes more than a professor willing to sacrifice time and care to give those students the resources they need to excel. It takes an entire college community to build the foundation from which we can attract students' caliber that USAO's mission and vision demand. We are proud to be the only public liberal arts college in Oklahoma. However, the time has come for a paradigm shift in how we seek out those hard-working students who will be unafraid to ask questions, consider answers, yearn to make a difference, discover, inspire, succeed, and most of all, embrace the opportunity for upward mobility. The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma is the state's public liberal arts college. Its mission is to provide the public with a distinctive and accessible liberal arts and sciences education. In combining an interdisciplinary core curriculum with superior instruction in significant study fields, USAO aims to provide a thorough education that prepares students for meaningful, purposeful lives. Our core curriculum remains as innovative today as when it was created half a century ago. The team-teaching model compels students to integrate knowledge from across academic fields while wrestling with the 'big questions' of the human experience. The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma strives to recruit creative, intelligent, and driven students who will make a great addition to the University, as well as take advantage of a liberal arts education. We understand that many different factors might make someone an outstanding student at our University, and our application process reflects this. USAO uses a combination of different qualities to assess each individual for admission. Celebrating a century of service as Oklahoma's only public liberal arts college, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma – nationally ranked for quality and value – is a recognized leader and innovator in interdisciplinary studies. Like the best private liberal arts colleges, USAO offers small classes, award-winning faculty committed to teaching (91 percent have the terminal degree), and a campus culture that fosters close faculty-student interaction and undergraduate research opportunities. USAO dedicates itself to educating the whole student, encourages personal development through public service, and offers nationally ranked teams in five sports. The college was founded in 1908 as a women's institution, Oklahoma College for Women (OCW), the first college created by Oklahoma's first legislature. USAO is one of only seven state institutions with similar missions ever created in the United States. Other than the University of Oklahoma, USAO has the oldest original mission of any state college or University in Oklahoma. Located in Chickasha, USAO is the only Oklahoma college named a National Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. View full university

The Oklahoma Territorial Legislature Act established the University in 1901 as the Southwestern Normal School. The Normal School was authorized to offer two years of training and four years of preparatory work for students who were not qualified for college admission. The first classes met in 1903. In 1920 the preparatory or academy courses were eliminated, and two additional years of college work were added. The state legislature approved a change of name to Southwestern State Teachers College. The first baccalaureate degrees were awarded in May 1921. Other significant changes in name and purposes occurred in 1939 when the institution was designated as Southwestern State College of Diversified Occupations. In 1941, it became the Southwestern Institute of Technology when the college added a School of Pharmacy, degree work in the arts and sciences, and trade schools to its original function as a teacher-training institution. In 1953 the University inaugurated an advanced professional program leading to the Master of a Teaching degree, now called the Master of Education degree. In 1974 the Oklahoma State Legislature changed the institution's name to Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU). In addition to the M. Ed. degree in 16 different fields of specialization, SWOSU offers the Master of Business Administration, the M. S. degrees in Management and School Psychology, the Master of Music degree, and its first professional doctorate program, the Doctor of Pharmacy. On July 1, 1987, by an act of the Oklahoma Legislature, Sayre Junior College merged with Southwestern Oklahoma State University. This location, designated as Southwestern Oklahoma State University at Sayre, is 59 miles west of Weatherford. View full university

The University is linked by tradition to the geographic region of southeastern Oklahoma and north-central Texas. Although new programs have produced many changes in the geographic origin and the ethnic backgrounds of the student body, they are still primarily products of small towns and rural communities in Oklahoma and Texas. The present student body numbers approximately 4,000. Students are served at eight different locations, including a branch campus in McCurtain County. View full university

As an evangelical Christian university of The Wesleyan Church, Oklahoma Wesleyan University models a way of thought, a way of life, and faith. It is a place of serious study, honest questions, and critical engagement, all in the context of a liberal arts community that honors the Primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth, and the Practice of Wisdom.

In 1909, Miltonvale Wesleyan College began in Kansas, and, in 1917, Pasadena Bible Training School opened in California. The University's objective has expanded, but the mission has always been to prepare individuals to reach out and touch the world for Christ. Thousands of alumni have made a difference globally. OKWU's vision and mandate remain steadfast.

Welcome to Oklahoma Wesleyan University! We are a university that believes in and practices the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. Without Him, we can do nothing. With Him, all things are possible! The transformations of lives are core to all that Oklahoma Wesleyan University is and does. Being an orthodox Christian, liberal arts university, we believe God wants to change the whole person by His grace and truth in order for His disciples to change the whole world for the good of His Kingdom. This is a place that prioritizes the whole person's whole development spiritually, academically, emotionally, and physically, including the worldview a person looks upon others and the culture God has called us to witness to through and with His love. We honor the Primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth, and the Practice of Wisdom for the whole person so the Kingdom of Jesus Christ can impact the whole world. As you consider Oklahoma Wesleyan University as your choice to develop who it is that God has called you to be and what He has wired you to do in life, We are confident in our mission, our people, our grace-giving, our truth-telling, and our Christian worldview culture.
