American Indian bachelor degree-producing universities have been ranked by Diverse Issues in Higher Education, and the top three are in Oklahoma, as reported by Tulsa World on July 26.
Oklahoma institutions, in fact, hold six of the top 12 spots and 12 of the top 100.
The three universities at the very top are Northeastern State University, where 370 American Indians earned four-year degrees in 2008-2009; Oklahoma State University, which also reported 370 Native degree earners; and the University of Oklahoma, where 258 earned degrees.
Which just goes to show you that Oklahoma is the land of the Native Americans! Oklahoma rocks! And, Dr. Glen Johnston, Chancellor of Oklahoma's Regents for Higher Education, is also a Native American!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Oklahoma! My 3 children are Creeks but we live in the NW now. They all proudly wear OU apparel!!! Always proud when Native Americans do well especially academically.
ReplyDeleteAs a graduate of Northeastern State University, this makes me proud.
