About
Located in the heart of a vibrant metropolitan area, Oklahoma City University (OCU) is a private institution nationally renowned for its powerhouse performing arts programs, particularly within the prestigious Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment and the Wanda L. Bass School of Music. Beyond the stage, OCU offers highly regarded professional preparation through the Kramer School of Nursing and the Meinders School of Business, where a low 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio ensures highly personalized mentorship. The campus culture is tight-knit and collaborative, offering students an active student experience with over 80 organizations, Greek life, and NAIA athletics, all situated steps away from the trendy Uptown 23rd District. What truly sets OCU apart is its legendary reputation as a premier pipeline to Broadway—boasting illustrious alumni like Kristin Chenoweth and Kelli O'Hara—combined with a stellar post-graduation employment rate that consistently prepares students for immediate career success.
