The University of Tulsa (TU) is a private research university located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, renowned for its strong programs in business, law, and engineering. Established with roots tracing back to the Presbyterian School for Indian Girls in 1882 in Muskogee, Oklahoma (then part of Indian Territory), the institution evolved into Henry Kendall College by 1894. It relocated to Tulsa in 1904 and was officially renamed the University of Tulsa in 1920. Historically affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, TU is now nondenominational, featuring a campus with predominantly Collegiate Gothic architecture. For over 130 years, the university has served as a catalyst for community development and a launchpad for promising careers, emphasizing innovative education and research. TU maintains a commitment to diversity and inclusion, supporting at least 25 campus organizations dedicated to fostering a diverse community. It hosts the Chevron Multicultural Resource Center, funded by a gift from Chevron, which promotes events and programming for cultural awareness. The university has received notable grants, such as a $677,000 award from the Mellon Foundation's Public Knowledge program to collaborate with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation's Historic and Cultural Preservation Department on cultural preservation efforts. TU's global reach extends to employees across six continents, including North America, Asia, and Europe, underscoring its international influence in higher education. Leadership at TU includes the recent retirement of Brad Carson, its 21st president. The university continues to build on its legacy of academic excellence, with a main campus at 800 South Tucker Drive in Tulsa.
