The fundamental mission of the School of Architecture is to provide educational programs in architecture and architectural engineering which prepares and inspires students for the vital professional leadership roles and responsibilities required to shape the physical environment and positively impact the social, economic, and cultural qualities of life in Oklahoma and the entire international context. The School endeavors to instill in each individual a sensitivity to human needs, a genuine concern for quality, integrity and high ideals, a positive attitude for life-long learning, and an appreciation for their own self-esteem. The "concept" for our school and the focus of our studios is to mirror the societal responsibilities of our profession and to promote a thoughtfully designed response to the environmental needs of our culture. The range of design concerns, from the scale and needs of a single individual to the collective interaction of thousands, are studied and responded to in a project to project sequence throughout the five year undergraduate program. An emphasis on providing a service to the university and the public enhances the design studio experience, and provides an opportunity for each student to make a contribution to their community, their state and nation.
