It's not just about sports—it's about academic excellence reaching new heights. As part of the SEC, OU’s life-changing purpose will shine to even more, attracting the brightest minds to some of the nation’s top-ranked programs.
Today, the spotlight gets a little bigger, but there's still only one Oklahoma.
Boosting Oklahoma’s Economy
OU’s inclusion in the SEC not only enhances its academic reputation, aligning the University with other prestigious institutions, but also boosts Oklahoma’s economy. Our state will benefit from the more than $104.5 billion all 16 SEC institutions drive into their individual state economies.
Collaborative Excellence
Collaboration across SEC universities will open doors to interdisciplinary research, shared resources, and innovative teaching methods. Programs like the SEC Faculty Travel Program and the SEC Emerging Scholars initiative will enrich the academic environment for both faculty and students, fostering a culture of innovation and shared learning.
There's Only One Oklahoma
For over 130 years, the University of Oklahoma continues to stand apart as a beacon of diverse thinking and unbound exploration. By channeling the strengths of the many, here one is empowered to work in any way, become anything, and arrive anywhere.
