General Information
HISTORY
One of the stated purposes of the University of Oklahoma when founded in 1890 was the study of the “art of teaching.” However, education as a field of study did not become a priority until Stratton D. Brooks assumed the presidency of the University. Under Brooks’ leadership, education first became a field of study (1909), then a school of study in the College of Arts and Sciences (1910), and finally an independent school (1920). Brooks brought Warren Waverly Phelan from Baylor University in 1912 to serve as the first director of the school. Phelan served until 1926.
In 1929, the School of Education became the College of Education under the direction of Ellsworth Collings, who had been director of the School of Education. He served until 1945, and eight deans have served the College of Education since Collings. The current dean is Gregg Garn, appointed in 2012.
The College of Education was reorganized in 1986 into three departments: the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, the Department of Educational Psychology, and the Department of Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum. The college currently has more than 700 undergraduate and 800 graduate students who are pursuing degrees and/or certification. The College offers Bachelors, Master’s, Ph.D., and Ed.D. degrees; it is second only to the College of Arts and Sciences in the number of doctoral degrees awarded.

Admission to the Graduate College to Complete the Graduate Certification Component of the TE-PLUS Program. Required only for extended programs (Early Childhood, Foreign Language and Language Arts).
Students must be admitted to the Graduate College to complete the graduate certification component of the TE-PLUS program.

Students also must meet the admission requirements of the master’s program they wish to enter.
Academic credit from any division of the University of Oklahoma — Norman campus, Health Sciences Center, OU-Tulsa, or Continuing Education — is considered resident credit at the University of Oklahoma. Grades and hours earned in any of these divisions are included in the OU retention and cumulative grade point averages for purposes of admission or readmission to the University, and to the individual colleges within the University.
Admission requirements are subject to change on an annual basis. For information that applies to you, please consult the degree checksheet in effect at the time of your first enrollment in the state system.
