Abstract

This dataset is derived from the list of colleges and universities on the Oklahoma Regents of Higher Education web page on June 8, 2019. Definitions of the various classifications were taken from the Glossary of Acronyms and Terms on the OK COLLEGE START website: https://secure.okcollegestart.org/Financial_Aid/Glossary_of_Acronyms_and_Terms.aspx Community College: Also known as a "two-year college," a community college grants associate degrees for transfer to four-year institutions or for career preparation. Community colleges usually offer flexible class schedules with smaller class sizes. In Oklahoma, they are known as open door institutions because performance standards (standardized test scores or combination of class rank and grade point average) are not required for admission. The public community colleges in Oklahoma are: Carl Albert State College, Poteau and Sallisaw Connors State College, Warner and Muskogee Eastern Oklahoma State College, Wilburton and McAlester Murray State College, Tishomingo Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, Miami Northern Oklahoma College, Tonkawa, Enid and Stillwater Oklahoma City Community College Redlands Community College, El Reno Rose State College, Midwest City Seminole State College, Seminole Tulsa Community College Western Oklahoma State College, Altus Independent (Private) Colleges and Universities: Accredited colleges and universities that offer associate, bachelor's and/or graduate degrees in traditional subject areas. Private colleges and universities are not directly supported by state funds and are not for profit. They receive the bulk of their support from tuition, donations and grants. Regional University: A university that offers bachelor's and master's degrees, and, in some instances, associate or professional degrees. While regional universities focus primarily on instruction, they are also responsible for extension and public service, as well as some research. They tend to have mid-sized student populations and campuses. The public regional universities in Oklahoma are: Cameron University, Lawton and Duncan East Central University, Ada Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma City and Tulsa Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, Broken Arrow and Muskogee Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Alva, Enid and Woodward Oklahoma Panhandle State University, Goodwell Rogers State University, Bartlesville, Claremore and Pryor Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Durant and Idabel Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Weatherford and Sayre University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, Chickasha Research University: Also known as a "comprehensive university," a university that grants bachelor's, graduate and professional degrees and offers a wide variety of courses and degree programs. Along with instruction, research institutions also focus on research, extension and public service. Research universities usually have large student bodies and expansive campuses. The public research universities in Oklahoma are: Oklahoma State University, Stillwater and Tulsa University of Oklahoma, Norman and Tulsa University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City and Tulsa University: A higher education institution that usually offers four-year degrees, as well as degrees beyond the baccalaureate level (i.e., graduate and professional degrees).
