It’s where inspiration connects with creativity and propels difference makers into meaningful careers in media, journalism and beyond. It’s where a forward-thinking curriculum, underpinned by a strong emphasis on ethics, critical thinking and inclusion, prepares the leaders of tomorrow in fields that will demand nothing but the best in communication skills.
Our students play many roles: Storytellers, persuaders, entrepreneurs and talent scouts, among others. They take advantage of Gaylord’s many advantages: a beautiful, spacious setting complemented by the latest technology. A hardworking faculty of scholars and practitioners, who teach, push and nurture in a student-centered environment that is fast paced and collegial. The result? A strong culture in a nationally ranked media program that is relentlessly focused on people.
And that emphasis has produced untold number of success stories among generations of graduates in a program that is flourishing early in its second century on the University of Oklahoma campus.
The five areas of study we offer – in advertising, creative media production, journalism, professional writing and public relations – remain as relevant as ever even in an ever-changing landscape. We are committed to providing more opportunities for more students, whether in media or elsewhere, to help them see the possibilities for themselves.
Gaylord College is where a single spark can become reality, where every voice has weight.
We invite you to experience it for yourself, to envision your future in a place where the future takes place, each and every day.
