Slide 1

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article

integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance
In April 2012, the State Regents adopted a performance based funding formula providing incentives
to institutions that increase their degree completion rates in addition to other performance factors.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance

Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being

Slide 9

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in

of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance
In April 2012, the State Regents adopted a performance based funding formula providing incentives
to institutions that increase their degree completion rates in addition to other performance factors.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance

Slide 21

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance
In April 2012, the State Regents adopted a performance based funding formula providing incentives
to institutions that increase their degree completion rates in addition to other performance factors.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on
better preparing students in high school for success in college. Enhancements in academic
activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being
expanded to include college certificates.

5. Reward Performance
In April 2012, the State Regents adopted a performance based funding formula providing incentives
to institutions that increase their degree completion rates in addition to other performance factors.

1. Focus On College Readiness
Higher education and K-12 are working together to develop and implement strategies that focus on

activities in the 11th and 12th grades will be made to reduce the need for remediation.

2. Transform Remediation
Oklahoma public higher education institutions are implementing programs in the areas of math,
language skills and reading that will dramatically improve developmental programs and reduce the
time it takes to earn a degree.

3. Strengthen Pathways to College Degrees and Certificates
Our colleges and universities are implementing programs that create clear pathways to degrees and
certificates including the cooperative alliance with Career Technology Centers and new CCApioneered techniques to provide electronic degree checklists, advising, and academic support.

4. Increase Adult Degree Completion
The Reach Higher program provides degree completion opportunities to students who have some
college credit but have not completed their associate or bachelor’s degree. The program is being

Slide 33

The first Oklahoma territorial legislature
passed legislation creating three institutions of
higher education in 1890 in order to fulfill a
requirement of the Organic Act of Congress
establishing the territory.
Congress required the Oklahoma territory to
establish a liberal arts and professional
education, agriculture and mechanical arts
education and teacher training.

• During the 1920’s there were fiftythree different presidents presiding
over eighteen public institutions, an
average of one new president every
three years. In the 1930’s fifty more
presidents rotated through the
system.
• These changes not only affected
personnel, but accreditation as well.
• In 1931, eleven Oklahoma colleges
and universities were accredited by
the north Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, but in 1936
only 3 institutions were still
accredited.

The first published study of the problem
of coordination of higher education in
Oklahoma was the doctoral dissertation
of Dr. Henry G. Bennett in 1926.
He recommended that a central
coordinating board be established and a
state system formed.

In 1939, Gov. Leon C. “Red” Phillips
named members to a coordinating
board.

The board recommended that a
constitutional board be established, and
the 1941 Oklahoma Legislature
proposed Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma
Constitution.

According to the Oklahoma Constitution, Article
XIII-A, all institutions of higher education shall be
integral parts of a unified system to be known as
the State System of Higher Education.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education is
the State’s legal structure for providing public
education at the collegiate level.
The State Regents is the Coordinating Board for
the State System.
