Rogers State University earned the top ranking in two categories among regional universities in Oklahoma in the latest higher education rankings issued by College Consensus.
College Consensus rankings combine the results of the most respected college ranking systems, including Forbes and U.S. News and World Report, with the averaged ratings of thousands of real student reviews from around the web to create a unique college meta-ranking. This approach offers a comprehensive and holistic perspective missing from other college rankings.
RSU was ranked No. 8 in the overall ranking of the Best Colleges and Universities in Oklahoma, making it the highest ranked regional university on the list.
In the Best Online Colleges in Oklahoma list, RSU was ranked No. 6, again making it the highest regional university. To qualify for the ranking in this category, an institution must offer at least three fully online bachelor’s degree programs.
“We’re pleased to be recognized for our commitment to offer outstanding academic programs, both on campus and online,” said Dr. Larry Rice, university president. “It’s a credit to our faculty that both peers and students view RSU as offering a rich academic experience. Each year, more students are making RSU their first choice for higher education.”
With its main campus in Claremore, and branches in Bartlesville and Pryor, RSU is the only four-year public regional university in the Tulsa metropolitan area that offers the full collegiate experience, including residential life, an honors program, and NCAA athletics.
