World House Scholars Program at Oklahoma City University

The World House Scholars program aspires to be a premier liberal arts program for preparing students to engage in lives of social and ecological responsibility.

All World House scholars participate in service learning projects; complete courses addressing issues of peace, justice, and ecological sustainability; and are required to complete at least one approved international education experience while at Oklahoma City University.

Up to twenty first-year students and up to five sophomores will be selected each year to participate in the World House Scholars Program.
