Northwestern is the only Oklahoma public regional institution to achieve third tier ranking. Several other regional universities were ranked in the fourth tier of best master’s degree universities.

The third tier ranking placed Northwestern in the top 20 to 28 of all baccalaureate colleges in the west.  Read more...
