What is a liberal arts education?

build a solid foundation

Merriam-Webster defines the liberal arts as “college or university studies intended to provide chiefly general knowledge and to develop general intellectual capacities as opposed to professional or vocational skills.”

But at the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma, it means so much more. It is who we are and what we believe best prepares students for success in today's rapidly changing world.

 

critical thinking skills

As Oklahoma’s only public liberal arts university, USAO provides students with a wide-ranging educational experience grounded in the sciences and humanities that reinforces communication, critical thinking and problem solving.

create your own path
