Through the Oxford Plan, which was established with assistance from OCU School of Law faculty members, students can complete their Bachelor's and Juris Doctor degrees in just six years. A joint JD/MBA program is also available to students through a collaborative effort with Oklahoma City University's Meinders School of Business (MSB).

In addition to these options and the traditional JD option, students can also earn certificates in American Indian Law, Client Representation in Alternative Dispute Resolution, Health Law, Public Law, and Business Law with concentration options in electronic commerce or financial services and commercial law. The law school also offers a Certificate in American Law for Chinese students and lawyers.
