What’s New: 2024 Annual Report, Degrees of Progress: The State of Higher Education in Oklahoma (May 2025) (PDF, 3m)
The annual report is a look at higher education in Oklahoma today and profiles of Oklahoma’s 25 colleges and universities.

Data Dashboards
Our Blueprint 2030 strategic plan calls for the development and implementation of interactive public dashboards with key performance data for both the system and individual colleges and universities. Our System Analysis and Reporting division has launched five interactive dashboards:

  • Enrollment
  • Student Success
  • Degrees Conferred
  • Critical Occupations
  • Employment Outcomes

Data Access and Management
The State Regents establish the principles governing access to and the dissemination of information gathered and maintained through the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education’s Unitized Data System (UDS). UDS has been in place since 1977. Each semester, approximately 75 data elements are gathered for each student (a person who enrolled, had a class/grade action and paid fees) in Oklahoma higher education.

There are 30 data-reporting entities, institutions and branch campuses in the Oklahoma State System for Higher Education. Some of the private institutions do not participate in UDS, so grand totals including private institutions are not complete. Oklahoma has 25 public higher education institutions, 20 branch campuses and five learning centers. In addition, there are 12 private higher education institutions that are regionally accredited.
