The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
Description
The University of Oklahoma was founded upon authority of an act of the first legislature of the Territory of Oklahoma seventeen years before statehood. Approved in 1890 and adopted in its main provisions by the first legislature of the state in 1907, the act stated the purpose of the University was to "provide the means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the various branches of learning connected with scientific, industrial, and professional pursuits." The town of Norman was selected for the university. Students were accepted for the first time in the fall of 1892, and the first two graduates of the University received the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist in 1896.
"This grouping of seven health-related colleges, located in a fifteen-block area near the state capitol, and the Tulsa Medical College, located in the state's second-largest metropolitan area, is known today as the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center."
At the turn of the twentieth century, the College of Medicine was founded as a two-year preclinical school. Ten years later in 1910 it merged with the Epworth Medical College in Oklahoma City and became a four-year degree-granting school. In 1911 the first degree in medicine was awarded.
