The University of Oklahoma (OU) is a public research university in Norman, Oklahoma, United States. Founded in 1890, it had existed in Oklahoma Territory near Indian Territory for 17 years before the two territories became the state of Oklahoma. In Fall 2024, the university had 34,523 students enrolled, most at its main campus in Norman. Employing nearly 4,000 faculty members, the university offers 174 baccalaureate programs, 199 master's programs, 101 doctoral programs, and 88 certificate programs.
This is a strong option for students who want a large research university experience at a genuinely affordable price — the $15,500 median debt at graduation is well below average, and $61,900 in median earnings 10 years out makes that a reasonable trade. The 89% freshman retention rate signals that most students who arrive actually want to stay, and 174 undergraduate programs means real breadth of choice. The one thing worth watching is the 75% graduation rate — not alarming, but it suggests roughly 1 in 4 students don't finish, so incoming students should have a plan to stay on track.
