A warm welcome to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) Graduate College! The OUHSC is the largest health sciences center in the State of Oklahoma and one of only four academic health centers in the United States. With more than 600 graduate students, the Graduate College grants MS and PhD degrees from multiple degree granting programs in the Colleges of Allied Health, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health.

Our graduate students are educated in Oklahoma’s premier biomedical research institution that received $135 million in external funding in FY 2007, with $62.3 million in research funding from the National Institutes of Health. More than half of all OUHSC faculty hold Graduate College appointments. Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation scientists, who rank nationally among the top recipients of competitive research grants, also serve as mentors to graduate students.

Review the information provided under the ‘Prospective Students’ menu for specific program application requirements and deadlines, funding opportunities, tuition waivers, and stipends. The majority of our doctoral students receive stipends and tuition waivers to help cover the cost of their education.

Again, thank you for your interest in the OUHSC Graduate College. Further questions may be directed to: gradcollege@ouhsc.edu.
