About Rogers State UniversityHistoryRSU was founded in 1909 – just two years aft er Oklahoma was granted statehood. Th e university was offi cially established as Eastern University Preparatory School in Claremore by the Oklahoma Legislature in its second session. Th e mission was to prepare the sons and daughters of Native Americans, farmers, and ranchers for entry into the colleges and universities of Oklahoma, the institution was closed in 1917 due to the changing educational needs of area residents. Two years later, the institution was resurrected as the Oklahoma Military Academy in response to the needs of area residents and the United States Armed Forces. By 1923, the Oklahoma Military Academy off ered secondary education and two years of college to young men from Oklahoma and across the nation. In 1971, in response to the growing educational needs of a rapidly developing technological and industrial economy in the Claremore area, the Oklahoma Legislature replaced the Oklahoma Military Academy with the new Claremore Junior Col-lege. Th e mission of the institution was expanded to provide a variety of high-quality two-year associate’s degree programs for area residents. Claremore Junior College quickly grew from 477 students in 1971 to more than 3,000 in 1982, when the institution was renamed Rogers State College to better represent the areas it served – Rogers County and the surrounding communities. In 1996, the Oklahoma Legislature approved the merger of Rogers State College and the University Center at Tulsa (UCAT), a consortium of four Oklahoma universities – the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Northeastern State University, and Langston University. Th e new institution was named Rogers University and continued operation for two years. In 1998, the Oklahoma Legislature separated the institutions, creating a branch of Oklahoma State University in Tulsa and Rogers State University, a new regional university with a main campus in Claremore. Th e Oklahoma Legislature granted permission for Rogers State University to create and seek accreditation for its own four-year bachelor’s degrees, while continuing to off er high-quality two-year associate’s degrees.In August 2000, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) Commission on Institutions of Higher Education formally granted RSU accreditation as a four-year university.Today, RSU is a dynamic, progressive university widely recognized for its high-quality academic programs, distance learn-ing options, and high-technology learning environment. RSU is the fastest growing university in Oklahoma. RSU is the only public four-year, residential university in the Tulsa metropolitan area, and is located near several major Tulsa high-technology employers and Tulsa International Airport.

What Is A Hillcat?Th e university’s offi cial mascot, the “Hillcat,” is a unique blue and red animal that serves as a source of campus pride and provides a visual identity for the university’s Athletic, Student Activities, and other school spirit programs. Th e Hillcat embodies the enthusiastic, determined and bold spirit of the university’s athletic programs and the pride our students and alumni feel for the institution.Th e “Hillcat” is a fi ctitious cousin of the bobcat, which is indigenous to northeast Oklahoma. Th e “Hillcat” also draws its name from “College Hill,” a traditional nickname for RSU. Th e university sits atop a hill overlooking the city of Claremore.
