The University of Tulsa was founded as early as 1894 as the Presbyterian School for Girls, but very soon was renamed in the Henry Kendall College. The college in 1907 was moved to Tulsa, to the site of the current campus (just two months later Oklahoma was recognized as a separate state), and in 1920 it merged with the young McFarlin College and the University of Tulsa was formed.
Today the structure of the university is represented by the following departments:

Today, the school is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. It is affiliated with the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) and is an active member of the sport affiliations and memberships of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
What factors are considered when evaluating U.S. universities, and how reliable are current rankings?
That's an interesting topic. The criteria used to evaluate universities vary by ranking. For nationwide rankings, factors like class size, teacher salaries, and the number of faculty members with advanced degrees in their field are common considerations. If a ranking focuses on student satisfaction, the criteria will differ. However, rankings don't always align with individual student needs and should be considered alongside other factors.
