TU is a student-centered research university that cultivates interconnected learning experiences to explore complex ideas and create new knowledge in a spirit of free inquiry. Guided by our commitment to diversity, equity, and service, we prepare individuals to make meaningful contributions to our campus, our community, and our world.
With 4,000 students, TU is Oklahoma's top-ranked private university and a "Best Value" among all U.S. universities.
Research opportunities start the moment students step on campus. Innovation and entrepreneurship are emphasized in equal measure with foundational coursework and design-thinking exercises. Through collaboration and commitment, the TU community generates prosperity, cultivates justice and serves others.
Most students live on campus near the heart of Tulsa. From concerts and speakers to club meetings and intramural sports, hardly a day goes by without activities. Game days are special, too. TU’s Division I athletic teams include football, basketball, soccer and more.
In fall 2020, more than $15.8 million in financial aid was awarded to incoming TU freshmen. Internship experience is plentiful, and alumni report a 93% placement rate within six months of graduation.
