OU Native American Studies

OU Native American Studies NAS offers BA & MA degree programs. Curriculum is interdisciplinary and from Indigenous perspectives. The curriculum is, at the same time, focused and flexible.

Since 1994, a vibrant and growing Native American Studies program has attracted and served students of diverse backgrounds and academic interests who are committed to using distinctly Native American perspectives to place the sovereignty of Native nations and the cultures of Native peoples at the center of academic study.

In the past twenty years, Native American Studies has awarded over 200 degrees; NAS alumni have distinguished themselves in a wide range of careers some of which include: tribal government, law, health policy, filmmaking and media, historic preservation, language revitalization, an education.
