The University of Oklahoma was founded in 1890 by the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature. The school was originally located in Norman, Oklahoma and was called the Territorial University of Oklahoma. It opened its doors to students in 1892 with just over 200 students and only two buildings. Over the next few decades, the University grew quickly and moved to its current location in Norman in 1910.
Since then, the university has grown exponentially, offering over 150 undergraduate majors and more than 200 graduate programs. In total, there are more than 35,000 students enrolled at the university each year. The university is also home to one of the top research libraries in the country with over 7 million volumes of books and periodicals. Additionally, OU has a vibrant athletic program with 19 varsity teams competing at both collegiate and international levels. The Sooners have won seven national championships since 2000, including four football championships and three basketball titles. With such a rich history of excellence both academically and athletically, it’s no wonder why people from all walks of life call OU their home away from home.
