It is the home for many well-established health-related undergraduate and graduate programs formerly offered by The Collins College of Business and The Henry Kendall College of Arts and Sciences , and is the home for several new academic programs which are now in the planning process. A combination of didactic coursework and clinical experiences in a wide variety of settings prepares graduates to take their place within the healthcare system in Tulsa and throughout the United States.
