Building Leaders. Creating Communities.

Since 1988, the University of Oklahoma Urban Design Studio has focused on a three-part mission: to train urban design professionals through graduate programs in urban design and real estate, to advance understanding of the city through research and creative activity and to engage in community projects benefiting Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma. The Urban Design Studio is always looking for promising students and community partners for its endeavors.
