Mission, Vision, & Values

The Tulsa Higher Education Consortium (THE Consortium) cultivates an aligned network of higher education institutions and community partners committed to increasing degree completion for all students in the region.

We envision that all people in the region recognize the value of a college or university degree and have access to clear information and support to navigate the process of earning a degree and securing employment.

Access for All-We are passionate about ensuring that all people who want to pursue a degree will have equitable access to the higher education institution of their choice.

Collaboration-We believe that collaboration in higher education is essential to successful degree completion and seamless transfer. We do this by sharing best practices, policies, and research.

Equity-We work together to understand disparities and develop equity-focused strategies that promote degree completion for all students.

Future-Focused-We seek to understand and proactively plan for the ever-changing interests, priorities and challenges related to higher education and student degree completion.
