OBU Find Academic Experiments Important Another important feature in a university's search for excellence is its willingness to experiment, to explore new programs, to serve special purposes. Experimentation is es- sential to progress, and OBU has been flexible in its search for better educational plans and techniques. Foremost among 0liU's efforts has been the European Study Program. Study abroad has emerged as one of the great contributors to liberal arts education, and OBU has several years experience in overseas programs. 0Blf,s 1965 tour, lasting 10 weeks. visited 11 countries and covered more than 12.000 miles. Four weeks were spent on the con- tinent, four weeks in residence at Spurgeonis College in London, and two weeks touring England and Scotland. The study program has been successful in making the history and culture of the western world more meaningful for OBU students. And the opportunity to earn 9 to 12 hours credit in courses in government, history, literature, art, and music, while seeing the scenic spots of the world has proved quite popular. This is one of the experiments contributing to the achievement of wllhe Habitual Vision of Greatness? , 'Y .ag if 39 Ol3U's European Study Tour members prepare to leave for a sum- mer of travel and study.

The Academy, Honors In addition to the European Study Program, OBU has been a leader in offering other academic programs which are uextran features. The university is accredited by the National League of Nursing and is one of only a few uni- versities offering a program leading to a bachelor of science degree and registered nursing certification. OBU is the only school in this region offering a degree in hospital adminis- tration, and the success of this program has received national attention. Another feature is student honors work. OBU's honors study program enables select upperclassmen to do advanced work, over and above their regular academic program. The university is expanding this program to include outstanding freshmen and sophomores, providing greater challenge and opportunity for these students. Another feature enjoyed by all students is the emphasis on the Fine Arts. Not only does OBU offer excellent music instruction, the musical production of student groups en- riches the cultural life of all students. Such organizations as the Bison Glee Club, the Bison Chorale, the Tuneclippers, and the Bisonettes, are known throughout the state for their talent. Cary Brackeen, and Robert Gregg, students this summer in the Academy, work together on a science problem. A senior nursing major, Jean Blood, hrowses through the library in Oklahoma City where she is completing requirements for the nursing degree.
