Through an innovative partnership with Saint Francis Health System, Rogers State University’s nursing program has expanded the number of students admitted each semester.
At the time of admission, students may indicate a campus preference:
- Claremore campus
- Saint Francis extended campus located at 6161 S. Yale in Tulsa
- or no preference
All accepted students will attend their first competitive semester of the nursing program at RSU’s Claremore campus regardless of campus preference.
If the student is seated at the Saint Francis campus, the second, third and fourth semesters will be delivered at the Saint Francis extended campus.
Every student applying to the program will be ranked using the same criteria regardless of campus preference. Once the total number of qualified students are selected that achieve the total program capacity, students will be seated at their campus selection, based upon availability.
The student’s first preference for campus site may not be available and is not guaranteed; however, every accepted student will be guaranteed a seat at one of the campuses. Students will be seated by ranking at each site. Once students are assigned to a campus site, all semesters throughout the program are completed at that site.

Lab and simulation facilities will be located and utilized at Saint Francis extended campus as well.
