OSUIT’s hands‑on approach to teaching emphasizes practical skills and industry connections, with
35 degree programs that are tailored to meet the demands of today’s job market. Although it awards bachelor’s degrees, OSUIT primarily awards associate degrees and less than one‑year certificates.

With nearly 90% career placement rates and strong ties to industry, OSUIT graduates are workforce‑ready and equipped to make an immediate impact.

The majority of degree programs require an internship as part of the curriculum. Through internships, students gain experience and knowledge while interning and being paid for their time working there.

A leader in workforce and economic development for the state of Oklahoma, OSUIT provides customized industry training, certificate programs, adult and continuing education, and employability skills. Ranked #4 Best Online Bachelor in Cybersecurity (Career Choice, 2022) and #2 Best Oklahoma Community Colleges by Tuition Costs (Career Review, 2023), OSUIT meets the workforce needs of the future today.

Approximately 20 organizations on campus give students the opportunity to network and develop leadership skills. Ranging in purpose from academic to service and social organizations, club memberships are open to all students. More than 800 students live within the six residence halls on campus.
