Online M.A. in Art and Tech Graduate
Experiential learning is an indispensable characteristic of OU that I truly value. OU offers various programs and classes that allow students to get hands-on experience and practice with the kind of work they would be doing in the field they’re pursuing. This is incredibly helpful for being prepared for the real world.
