Oklahoma City University
Academic Affairs

The Division of Academic Affairs encompasses all schools and colleges of Oklahoma City University and several academic support offices including the Registrar’s Office, the Office of International Education, the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, The Center for Teaching and Learning, and The Fine Arts Institute. The Office of the Provost oversees the work of all of these entities and is led by Dr. Bernie L. Patterson, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, and by Dr. Susan C. Barber, associate provost and professor of biology. The staff of the Office of the Provost is available to assist students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and other constituents with all issues associated with academics.

At Oklahoma City University, all of our undergraduate students receive an education that is enriched by our liberal arts curriculum. All students are taught by members of our exceptional faculty—not graduate assistants—in small classes designed to ignite and expand each student’s love of learning.

As chief academic officer, Dr. Bernie Patterson champions academic excellence across campus to maintain and enhance the value of an Oklahoma City University education. Academic programs at Oklahoma City University continue to make great strides under his leadership.
