NORMAN, Oklahoma (PRNewswire) — The University of Oklahoma has launched OU Online, a central division that will deliver the university’s online graduate degree programs, expanding OU’s ability to reach students in Oklahoma and beyond.

Designed for adult learners seeking career advancement, OU Online’s programs offer graduate degrees in a variety of professional fields. Of the initial 33 online graduate programs being offered through OU Online, six are new programs launching this fall.

The graduate degree programs offered through OU Online capitalize on a number of OU’s areas of academic strength, such as business, energy, nursing, criminal justice and more – a majority of which are also offered in a traditional, in-person format.

The programs are designed to be flexible and accessible to adults who work full-time while pursuing their degrees. Several are presented in an accelerated format that can be completed in as little as 15 months. Each program features a rigorous curriculum developed by OU academic departments and faculty members.

 OU Online courses are taught by a blend of tenured OU faculty and adjunct faculty who are professionals in each field of study.

Students who enroll in an OU Online program will have the same customary academic and support services available to them as on-campus students. Upon graduation, they will become OU alumni – no matter how far from the university they completed their courses.
