[Meelosh]

Thought this would be helpful for those seeking information or pondering education in Tulsa. I suppose OSU-Tulsa is a good place to start. In the coming days I will cover TU, ORU, NSU-BA, OU-Tulsa, Tulsa Community College, and other universities in the area.

Oklahoma State University is in Tulsa, for Tulsa. OSU-Tulsa's vision includes broadening the University's research capabilities and activities in the Tulsa metropolitan area. As the newest member of the OSU system, the Tulsa campus brings a new dimension to the university's research mission. Tulsa-affiliated research is deliberately fashioned to be innovative and relevant to serve Oklahoma and the unique needs of Tulsa.

The former University Center at Tulsa campus became OSU-Tulsa on Jan. 1, 1999. During this short time, the campus has worked to become an integral part of the Tulsa community and the development of the state of Oklahoma. During this time, OSU-Tulsa has experienced a tremendous growth phase. Student headcount has grown from 1,187 in the spring 1999 semester to nearly 2,700 currently.


The Tulsa campus has embraced OSU's "one university, multiple sites" philosophy. OSU-Tulsa maximizes university resources by promoting a partnership where learning and research flourish through sharing faculty and resources with the Stillwater campus.

OSU-Tulsa offers area students the chance to pursue their chosen profession at an internationally respected institution while remaining close to home. With more than 80 undergraduate and graduate degree options available, OSU students on the Tulsa campus earn the same internationally recognized OSU degree that students in Stillwater receive.

As part of OSU's vision for a vibrant and prosperous Oklahoma, OSU-Tulsa constructed the Helmerich Advanced Technology Research Center (ATRC). Made possible through Tulsa County's Vision 2025 initiative, the state's 2005 higher education bond issue and Walter and Peggy Helmerich of Tulsa, the $43 million center will stimulate economic development for Tulsa and Northeastern Oklahoma, resulting in collaborations with area businesses and the creation of new jobs.

The Helmerich ATRC houses laboratories for faculty and graduate students who will develop the next generation of composites and materials used by many Oklahoma industries. Research in the Helmerich ATRC will focus on four areas: advanced materials, bio-based technologies, energy technologies and information and control technologies. The 123,000-square-foot research center includes specialized laboratories, clean rooms, an imaging suite, advanced information technology equipment, faculty offices and two high-tech seminar rooms. University officials are currently recruiting internationally recognized faculty who will conduct research in the facility.
