Oklahoma Technology Colleges

University of Oklahoma

In 1969, graduate instruction and research in the field of computer science began at OU and in 1976 OU added its undergraduate computer science program which became part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Today, Computer Science at OU has a much fresher look with 15 full-time faculty members and as of the Spring 2010 semester a new state-of-the-art home in Devon Energy Hall. This five-story, 103,000-square-foot building featuring classrooms, team rooms, teaching labs and flexible research space allows the College to continue to implement its curriculum with an emphasis on student leadership and teamwork.

OU offers BS degrees in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Undergraduates’ curriculum consists of eleven courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and three electives chosen from computer science courses. Students will also have the opportunity to complete a major design project as part of two courses in software engineering during their senior year.
