Message from the President

President Shrum

Welcome to Oklahoma State University!

You have decided to attend a nationally leading, top-tier research institution. We are proud of our modern land-grant mission and put our students front and center in everything we do. 

As a member of the Cowboy family, you are part of a creative, innovative and collaborative learning environment that will prepare you to use your knowledge and hands-on experience to make a difference in the world. We live by the Cowboy Code: doing what’s right, even when it’s hard; finishing what we start; and dreaming big. It’s a foundation for success during your time at OSU and beyond. 

With more than 500 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as certificates and professional degree programs in medicine and veterinary medicine, OSU provides outstanding choice and value at a comprehensive research university.

The depth and breadth of our programs and the global impact of our efforts are significant. But what separates OSU graduates from those of other institutions is their character and determination to make a difference in their communities, across our state and around the world. 

Once again, welcome to Oklahoma State University. Go Pokes!

Dr. Kayse Shrum
President
Oklahoma State University
