Quarter Century of Progress: 25 years of impact in Tulsa

Thu, Dec 21, 2023

Oklahoma State University-Tulsa’s story doesn’t begin with one university – but four. Before 1986, there was no public four-year university presence in Tulsa. To address this, the City of Tulsa’s redevelopment arm opened the land just north of Interstate 244 to create a higher education campus, University Center at Tulsa, or UCAT. UCAT was composed of OSU, Langston University, the University of Oklahoma and Northeastern State University, providing mainly graduate-level academic programming.
