Oklahoma Colleges & Universities: Sooner State College Degrees

Published: November, 2010

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Oklahoma had the fourth highest rate of economic growth in 2005 and 2006. The state is a major contributor to fuel markets, home to thousands of oil and natural gas wells. It is also an agricultural center, exporting soy, wheat, and cattle. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Oklahoma has the most diverse landscape in the country, with more than ten distinct ecological regions within its boundaries.

Oklahoma City, the state capital and most heavily populated city in Oklahoma, is surrounded by an extensive metropolitan area with more than a million residents. Many well-known corporations maintain their headquarters in Oklahoma City, including:
  • AT&T
  • Devon Energy
  • The Hertz Corporation
  • Sonic Drive-In
  • Dobson Communications

Tulsa is the second-largest city in Oklahoma, with many services based on energy, telecommunications, and aerospace technology, including the aircraft repair center for American Airlines. In 2006, Forbes magazine ranked Tulsa as the second highest in the nation for job income growth.

Due to its importance within the world of business and commerce, many students are attracted to Oklahoma's colleges, universities and technical schools. Students often choose to pursue degrees in business and accounting. Others take advantage of northeastern Oklahoma's leading technological industries by pursuing degrees in computer systems or electrical technology.
