Overview
About this Degree
The Native American Studies curriculum is, at the same time, focused and flexible. We currently support intensive study in four interrelated areas of emphasis that are interdisciplinary in nature - History & Culture, Native Languages, Indigenous Community Planning, and Tribal Governance & Leadership. Students work closely with faculty to combine areas of emphasis according to their own scholarly and professional goals.
NAS offers three degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as two graduate certificate programs.
The first degree in Native American Studies at the University of Oklahoma was awarded in 1996. Since then, nearly 400 students have earned bachelor's degrees, with either a major or minor in NAS, and master's degrees. NAS Alumni have distinguished themselves in a wide range of careers some of which include: tribal government, law, health policy, filmmaking and media, historic preservation, language revitalization, and education.
Who We Are
The University of Oklahoma Department of Native American Studies recognizes the complexity and diversity of Indian Country. And significantly, we are representative of that diversity. Our faculty, staff, students, and alumni are both Native and non-Native. We represent federally recognized tribes, state-recognized tribes, and unrecognized tribes. We are citizens of dozens of tribal political entities and are related through kinship and cultural practice to many, many more indigenous communities. Some among us are tribally enrolled citizens; others are not.
