Does University of Oklahoma consider 3 year bachelor’s degree for PG programs?

Shreya Basu

The University of Oklahoma requires a four-year bachelor's degree or its US equivalent from international students as a mandatory academic eligibility criterion for graduate programs. The OU generally does not consider a three-year bachelor's degree as equivalent to a US bachelor's degree. Students with a three-year bachelor's degree (such as BSc, BCom, BA) may need to complete an additional year, such as an honors year, before being eligible for graduate programs. Applicants must make sure to reach this benchmark; otherwise, it might lead to rejection of the application.
