WILL MY CREDITS TRANSFER?

My OU experience has been filled with opportunities I never thought possible at this stage in my life. As a freshman, I consulted for a nonprofit that works across the U.S. and other countries, and they later hired me as an independent contractor so I could continue my work with them. Having entered college with the vague goal of working for a nonprofit after I graduated, the fact that I was working for one at the end of my first year was surreal. Since then, the experience and connections I’ve gained at OU have gotten me two internships that closely match my career goals, mentorship from highly successful alumni and experience in a research lab, to name a few.”
