About
Rogers State University, located in Claremore, Oklahoma, was founded in 1909, two years after Oklahoma became a state, and was known as Eastern University Preparatory School. By 1917 the school had closed due to changing educational needs in the area, and was reopened in 1919 as the Oklahoma Military Academy. OMA operated until 1971, when the growing needs of the community had the school changed to Claremore Junior College. As the school grew, it once again changed its name to better represent its service area and mission, become Rogers State College in 1982. In 1996 Rogers State College merged with the University Center in Tulsa, forming Rogers University, though the campuses separated two years later, resulting in Rogers University becoming part of the Oklahoma University System and being renamed Rogers State University, obtaining bachelor degree granting status in 2000.
