Communications Sciences & Disorders, Class of 2024
From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
As a bachelor’s program student at OU Health Sciences, I spent my first two years of college in Norman and my last two at the OU Health Sciences Campus. I love the College of Allied Health because there are 19 different programs within one college. Being at the HSC has allowed me to form important interprofessional relationships with graduate and professional students, which is an incredibly unique and valuable experience to have as an undergraduate. These mentors, along with the support from faculty, will be very beneficial when it is time for me to navigate graduate school applications and externships."
The College of Allied Health serves as the academic unit for programs in audiology, communication sciences and disorders, dietetics, nuclear medicine, nutritional sciences, occupational therapy, physical therapy, radiation sciences, radiation therapy, radiography, rehabilitation sciences, sonography, and speech-language pathology. Our college’s pass rate for professional entry boards/licensure examinations in the 10 professional-entry programs is over 95%.
The College of Dentistry has Oklahoma’s only Doctor of Dental Surgery program in Oklahoma, located in Oklahoma City and an option to complete the final two years in Tulsa, as well as its only Bachelor of Dental Hygiene program, with availability in Oklahoma City, Weatherford, and Bartlesville.
