Focused visit for class size increase conducted in March 2009. In December, 2007, the accrediting body approved OU-HCOM'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-HCOM. On March 12-13, 2009, an accreditation team visited OU-HCOM and talked to administrators, students, and faculty to verify that appropriate resources, facilities, and faculty are in place to support the class size increase.
