Mission  
School mission Oklahoma Wesleyan University is a Christ-centered university of the liberal arts and professions. The university's beautiful campus--featuring Spanish-style architecture centered around the historic La Quinta Mansion--forms the backdrop for serious study, honest questions, and critical engagement, undertaken in humble allegiance to the teachings of the Bible, the evangelical faith, and The Wesleyan Church. OWU strives for excellence as an academic community by focusing on (1) Jesus Christ as the lens of all learning and the Lord of our daily lives; (2) community, as learners come together seeking truth and knowledge; (3) the liberal arts, as students develop critical minds and discerning spirits; (4) participation, as all members of the community--faculty, staff, students--work to promote healing and wholeness in a broken culture and hurting world. Oklahoma Wesleyan University has four cornerstones which include (1) the Primacy of Jesus Christ, (2) the Priority of Scripture, (3) the Pursuit of Truth, (4) the Practice of Wisdom.
