Northwestern Oklahoma State University offers both bachelor's and master's degrees. The university had humble beginnings in 1897 as the Northwestern Territorial Normal School charged with preparing teachers to serve the many one-room schoolhouses that covered the prairie. It became a four-year teachers college in 1919 and changed its name to Northwestern Oklahoma Teachers College. In 1939 it expanded its offerings to include liberal arts along with education and became Northwestern State College. Its current name was adopted in 1974. The university though still heavily involved in teaching and education degrees offers bachelor of arts degrees and bachelor of science degrees in more than 40 areas of study.
