TULSA,
Okla., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
University of Tulsa continues its
renaissance as evidenced in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report
college rankings released this week.
UTulsa rose an impressive 16 spots in the past year, an 8.2%
jump and the biggest percentage gain among all private universities
in Texas and Oklahoma, including Rice, Baylor, Texas
Christian, and Southern
Methodist. In fact, UTulsa maintained its 2024 ranking or
rose in virtually every category.
UTulsa's renowned energy program is No. 1 among private
universities for petroleum engineering and No. 4 overall for 2025.
Also, the computer science program is tied for No. 66 when pitted
against private tech powerhouses such as Stanford, Carnegie
Mellon, and MIT.
The University of Tulsa continues to
be a Top 100 value among research institutions – public or private
– for all students; and among the best private universities for
veterans, UTulsa is tied for No. 34.
"While many other universities are combating declines in
enrollment, research funding, and rankings, we are advancing," said
UTulsa President Brad Carson. "Our
enrollment continues to climb year over year, our retention was a
record 99% for first-year students from fall 2023 to spring 2024,
and our placement rate is 97%. Each of these key data points
exemplifies the excellence taking hold across our campus."
Since Carson assumed leadership three years ago, The
University of Tulsa has enrolled more
National Merit scholars per capita than any other university in the
country. This fall, UTulsa welcomed its most academically
accomplished first-year class ever, and the second largest domestic
class in the school's history.
