The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is the state's legal structure for providing public education at the collegiate level. It is a coordinated system of colleges and universities located throughout the state.
State System overview
With a current enrollment of more than 247,000 students, the State System consists of 25 colleges and universities (made up of two research universities, 11 regional universities, and 12 community colleges),[1] 11 constituent agencies, and a higher education center.[2] The State System is coordinated by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, and each institution is governed by a board of regents. There are currently three constitutional boards of regents that govern a majority of colleges and universities in the state: the OSU/A&M Board of Regents, the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents, and the Regional University System of Oklahoma (RUSO).
