Graduate school switching locations | People

Graduate students at a local university will be getting a change of scenery in the coming months.

The Oklahoma Baptist University Graduate School has announced plans to relocate in mid-May.

The school will be moving from its current location in Oklahoma City's Triangle District to the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma Building, located at 3800 N. May Ave.

Officials with the school say the move will not affect the time frame of graduating students or the programs themselves.

“OBU’s Graduate School is continuing to grow,” said Dr. Scott Harris, the school’s director. “With this move, we have expanded our classroom space. This will allow for new programs to be added in the coming years. For instance, our new energy management MBA and new global nursing MSN tracks are expected to bring in many new students. We will be able to serve the needs of our students very well in these new facilities.”
