The Oxley College of Health Sciences is the newest college at The University of Tulsa. It is the home for many well-established health-related undergraduate and graduate programs formerly offered by The Collins College of Business and The Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences , and is the home for several new academic programs which are now in the planning process. A combination of didactic coursework and clinical experiences in a wide variety of settings prepares graduates to take their place within the healthcare system in Tulsa and throughout the United States. Through unique opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions, students will learn the business, legal, and cultural aspects of healthcare. Additional opportunities for students include involvement in faculty research through the TURC program and experiential learning in the local community and around the world.
