A typical degree at OBU requires 30 credits in a specific degree area, though some plans require up to 60 credits in a specific area. In addition, a core degree curriculum must be met. In keeping with the school's liberal arts focus, the core curriculum emphasizes diverse education, including religion, science, sociology, mathematics, and the humanities.
OBU offers ten bachelor's degrees in 78 areas of study in five academic schools. The typical degree offered by OBU is a Bachelor of Arts, or a BA.

OKBU has a nursing school, but no medical school. The only medical schools in OK are at U of Oklahoma (MD program) and Oklahoma State (DO program).
If you want to qualify for medical school, make sure your curriculum at OKBU includes an approved biology course. This means you will need to study evolution. I'm not saying that to bash on religion; it's true, a lot of Chrstian college grads are at a disadvantage because their schools' science curricula do not meet the requirements set by medical school organizations like AMCAS and AACOM.
