In October 2007 the University of Oklahoma became a partner university with the Davis UWC Scholars Program. OU’s first class of Davis Scholars enrolled in Fall 2008 and included four UWC students. Over a decade later, over 300 Davis UWC Scholars are enrolled at OU.
The mission of the University of Oklahoma is to provide the best possible educational experience for our students through excellence in teaching, research and creative activity, and service to the state and society. In the heart of the United States, OU offers all the great opportunities of a large research university and a small liberal arts college on a beautiful welcoming campus.
The University of Oklahoma combines the benefits of a public research university with the personalized attention often found only at a private college. With over 170 degree programs from which to choose, more than 500 student organizations in which you can be part, opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research, and a vast array of athletic and fine arts events, the public university offers many advantages.
However, just like at a small college you also are known by name – not only by OU’s UWC Scholars Program staff, but also by your academic adviser who personally works with you as you select courses, explore internship opportunities and consider your future career.
While many of our UWC students are pursuing professional programs (such as engineering, architecture, business and journalism – all very popular options), there are over 170 degree programs from which applicants may choose. Currently enrolled Davis Scholars are also majoring in other areas such as international studies, natural sciences, journalism, languages, fine arts and so much more. Many choose to pursue double majors, a combination of major and minors and pursue dual degrees. Find out more from one-page overviews of every undergraduate degree program offered at OU.
Academic support at OU is accessible and free through OU’s Writing Center, Math Center, Action Tutoring, Academic Life Coaching and other departments designed to help students grow and excel throughout their academic careers.
OU’s Career Center serves students with workshops, career fairs, resume reviews, mock interviews and access to hiring platforms. This includes Interstride – a portal that helps students find jobs and internships, network with other international and globally-minded students, and find immigration and career support.
Having a large and engaged UWC community at OU ensures UWC scholars have a network of students to rely on when they arrive, helping them transition to university, and supporting them throughout their time at OU.
Additionally, the UWC Scholars Program office provides centralized support and assistance to the UWC community–including current students, prospective applicants and UWC OU alumni. Community events, activities and workshops are organized to help connect UWC scholars to each other and to key resources on campus.
