A territorial teacher’s college. A bustling commuter

campus. Oklahoma’s third largest university. The

University of Central Oklahoma has experienced many

transformations over the past 125 years. Some, like

our institution’s name changes, are obvious. Others

are subtle, like the spark on a student’s face when he

or she connects with the right major or makes a new

friend. Each transformation has put Central on a path

to become the state’s leading metropolitan university,

using our connection to the thriving Oklahoma City

metro to offer better opportunities to our students and

the community.

Our founders didn’t know how the surrounding

community would evolve. They simply knew that

education would matter. Likewise, we can’t know

for sure what the future will bring. But the personal

experience, strong connections, and innovative spirit

you’ll find at Central ensure you’re confident and ready

for whatever comes next.

As Oklahoma’s metropolitan university,

Central is the right location for your

success. You get the best of both worlds

– the “small town” feel of Edmond, with

the big city excitement of the Oklahoma

City metro. Our location is key to your

educational experience. Both Edmond

and OKC are booming, meaning Central

connects you to hundreds of internship and

job opportunities, as well as off campus

dining, recreation and entertainment

options. You might even take a class at

the ACM@UCO in Bricktown or UCO

Downtown, or go to an event at our new

CHK-Central Boathouse on the Oklahoma

River. Plus, both communities consistently

rank nationally among the safest, affordable

and economically viable places to live.

our Centre for Global Competency,

our students can study abroad for a

a short study tour, or participate in an

international internship. The CGC also

offers cultural programs on campus, like

Broncho Buddies, which pairs domestic

UCO students with an international

throughout the year. You can also get
