About University of Central Oklahoma
The University of Central Oklahoma is a campus community in motion—leading, innovating and creating transformative learning opportunities that foster success for their students. As Oklahoma’s largest metropolitan university, UCO provides high-quality, nationally recognized programs that are always evolving and adapting to the needs of its students and the community. This commitment is rooted in their founding in 1890 as the state’s teacher’s college, training those who would educate the next generation of leaders and innovators. We remain dedicated to offering an accessible, affordable education, earning national accolades for social mobility, veterans’ outreach and first-generation student programs.
Guided by the motto “ubi motus est” – which translates to “where movement is” – the university continues to evolve and grow, offering 123 undergraduate and 82 graduate programs, as well as one doctoral program, to its more than 12,500 students from the main campus in Edmond, Oklahoma, and facilities throughout the Oklahoma City metro. UCO's colors were the first adopted of any university in the state, and the Bronze and Blue symbolize their greatest strengths—the illumination of new ideas and the endless expanse of a clear sky above. At UCO, anything is possible!
