Freshmen rate OCU high
College Choice recently ranked Oklahoma City University as No. 31 among the best universities in the western United States.
The college rankings website publishes the list to help students in their college search efforts. The standings are based on surveys of college freshmen by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles.
OCU’s "unique learning initiatives" were cited, including its honors program, OCULeads, and the Center for Interpersonal Studies through Film and Literature.
