Oklahoma City University Reviews of Doctorates in Law

"I've talked with fellow 1Ls at east coast law schools, such as the law school at the University of Virginia, and feel competitive at their level. I like how accessible our faculty is at all times. They treat us like professionals, without talking down to us or belittling us, yet I feel I'm becoming more and more prepared for a profession of law by the week. Faculty are supportive, patient, and always careful to take the time to understand student questions. My biggest qualms with OCU School of Law are the price of tuition, the lack of scholarship opportunities, and the surround area's safety. It seems 23rd Street is becoming a better, cleaner, and safer place to be as the years go on, but I'm still glad the school is moving further downtown. I am thrilled with my choice of OCU and can't wait to say I'm an alum of their law school!"

"It's a great program; however, the price is incredibly and painfully high. Some of the academic support is not the greatest, but I do get the feeling that everyone wants me to succeed."

"The price of the program is definitely a con. It is so much more expensive to attend OCU than it is to attend OU. The only reason I chose OCU over OU was because OCU has a part time evening program where working adults can still attend while working full-time."

"Very committed to diversity and encouraging minority students. Though small, school provides all the resources necissary for success."

"This school is amazing! The support and the classes are fantastic."

"It appears the OCU Law program will give a student a solid set of skills to begin practicing upon graduation. Many Oklahoma judges have a OCU diploma. The alumni network appears strong. The professors seem to actually care about your success and take an interest in teaching. The new dean appears to have a plan to take the school in a positive new direction starting with the school's move to downtown Oklahoma City. This is a good thing, since the current building is old and crumbling. Parking is also a challenge. The only other con I can mention right now is the tuition: expensive when compared to a state school. However, OCU is the only law school in Oklahoma that has an evening program for working students, so the tradeoff might be worth it."
