focused visit for class size increase conducted in March 2009

  OU-COM fully accredited through Fall 2014.  Following an October, 2007 site visit by an accreditation team, OU-COM received four commendations and full ongoing accreditation for seven more years.  Click here for details.
 


Focused visit for class size increase conducted in March 2009. In December, 2007, the accrediting body approved OU-COM's request for an increase of the allowed class size  from 100 to 140 students.  Class size increases are being phased in carefully.  In August 2008, the 117 first-year students in the Class of 2012 came to study at OU-COM.  On March 12-13, 2009, an accreditation team visited OU-COM and talked to administrators, students, and faculty to verify that appropriate resources, facilities, and faculty are in place to support the class size increase.
