Tracing its roots to 1909, Roger State University celebrates 20 years as a regional university. It is the Tulsa metro’s only public residential university, allowing students to fully participate in the traditional college experience.
Impact and Excellence
RSU has degree programs in Oklahoma’s top 10 fastest-growing industry sectors, and has built a reputation as a leading regional university for healthcare students—nursing, allied health, medical/molecular biology and other programs—with graduates advancing to medical, dental, chiropractic and professional schools.
RSU offers unique degree programs across varied disciplines along with unmatched facilities, including an on-campus nature reserve, research land dedicated for biological and social sciences, and a behavioral sciences lab. The school’s bachelor’s degree programs produce students capable of graduate-level, original research and projects during their capstone courses.
RSU is consistently recognized for its value in offering a quality education. RSU students graduate with some of the lowest student debt in the nation, as noted by U.S. News and World Report.
Campus Life
On-campus students can choose from a mix of residential life options, including apartments and traditional dormitory-style housing. RSU has more than 30 student organizations that promote involvement and leadership within the campus and surrounding communities. Sports are also a big part of campus life. RSU competes as a member of the NCAA Division II in the MIAA Conference, fielding 12 men’s and women’s teams, along with cheer and dance teams.
