"I think the biggest thing [that differentiates OU] is it's a research educational institute. Adding your brick to the wall of knowledge. They come together really excited to help you find something that is of interest but that will result in some research that is valuable."
Rita Murray, 1999 M.Ed., 2012 Ph.D.
Owner, Performance Consulting, LLC
