Dr. Cunningham met up with the members of the Ranger Rodeo
team who were competing at the College National Finals Rodeo
in Casper, Wyo., in June 2015.
The President is a great supporter of everything Northwestern,
from showing her “Ranger Guns” to welcoming students and
families to Ranger Preview and Freshman Connection.
Dr. Janet Cunningham leads the President’s Leadership Class.
Here, the group visited the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial.
I am very pleased that you are considering
Northwestern Oklahoma State University as
your college choice. Each year, hundreds
of high school seniors and college
transfers like you make the decision to call
Northwestern home.
As you research colleges and universities,
you will find most of them have many
similarities. Dig a little deeper and you will discover what makes
Northwestern unique.
Our academic courses are taught by qualified faculty who are
experts in their fields and skilled at teaching. You will develop
strong relationships with them as they mentor you and offer
assistance outside of the classroom. Your education is of
paramount importance to us and so you will not find teaching
assistants leading classes at Northwestern.
Northwestern offers convenience with three campuses serving
northwest Oklahoma, online degree completion programs, and
expanding opportunities at the University Center of Ponca City. In
addition, there is no greater educational value than Northwestern.
Our scholarship program is second to none with special
incentive scholarships available at no other institution.
But what ultimately will convince you that Northwestern is the
place to earn your degree are the people. Visit our campuses and
you will be greeted with a smile and a hello almost any place you
go. Once you decide to become a Ranger, you truly join a family.
Please use this viewbook to get an overview of our university.
However, if you want the true Northwestern experience, schedule
a campus visit today. I hope to see you on campus very soon.
Janet Cunningham, Ed.D.
President
Class of 1976
Once A Ranger, Always A Ranger 3
We are the Ranger Nation -- where your future can be as bright as
you want it to be, and you instantly become one of the family.
Alva, a small town with a relaxed atmosphere in northwest
Oklahoma, is home to our main campus where a traditional
college experience is offered. You’ll be able to live in university
housing, eat in the cafeteria or Student Center Snack Bar, attend
numerous campus activities, join clubs and organizations or go
to athletic events.
Our Enid and Woodward campus sites (see pages 14-15) offer
students convenience when it may not be possible to travel to
Alva for classes.
Employment opportunities on- and off-campus are available to
our students.
Our classes are small, so you’re able to get a quality education,
get to know your professors and make friends more easily.
The Student Center is the central hangout for most students
between classes. Here, you can grab a quick bite to eat, visit with
friends or watch TV, browse the Internet in the small computer
lab, or purchase Ranger gear and supplies in the bookstore.

AND
“Oklahoma is amazing, but
Northwestern’s community/campus is
the best place on earth. This university
has an outstanding reputation of
showing love and support to students
even before they commit to becoming
Rangers. Why? Because Northwestern
does not simply just go through the
motions. Northwestern takes every opportunity possible
to give students the success they dream for. Being
crowned Miss Northwestern is the highest honor I have ever
received, simply because I was chosen to represent the
thousands of successful individuals who love this place as
much as I do. Ride, Rangers, Ride!”

My Investment
“The professors at Northwestern are definitely top-notch. I’m sure many of them had the opportunity to
go to a bigger college but for whatever reason they came here, and I’m glad they did because I’ve had
plenty of professors who care tremendously about me and my success and have changed my life for
the better in many different aspects.
Northwestern is definitely helping me to live my dream, first of all by helping me find what my dream
is. That’s the first goal for undergraduate students – to find out what they want to do for their life. But
then after that, it’s all about setting you up for success, and Northwestern does a terrific job of setting
students up for success.”

  • 2. 2 Once A Ranger, Always A Ranger A Message from Our President Northwestern’s Mission: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility. What’s Inside: 3............................... Who We Are 4................................Admissions 5................................. Academics 6........................... My Investment 7......................................Housing 8-9...........................Scholarships 10-11.................. Life on Campus 12-13..............................Athletics 14........................... Enid Campus 15.................Woodward Campus Back.................Tour the Campus & Important Dates Dr. Cunningham met up with the members of the Ranger Rodeo team who were competing at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyo., in June 2015. The President is a great supporter of everything Northwestern, from showing her “Ranger Guns” to welcoming students and families to Ranger Preview and Freshman Connection. Dr. Janet Cunningham leads the President’s Leadership Class. Here, the group visited the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. I am very pleased that you are considering Northwestern Oklahoma State University as your college choice. Each year, hundreds of high school seniors and college transfers like you make the decision to call Northwestern home. As you research colleges and universities, you will find most of them have many similarities. Dig a little deeper and you will discover what makes Northwestern unique. Our academic courses are taught by qualified faculty who are experts in their fields and skilled at teaching. You will develop strong relationships with them as they mentor you and offer assistance outside of the classroom. Your education is of paramount importance to us and so you will not find teaching assistants leading classes at Northwestern. Northwestern offers convenience with three campuses serving northwest Oklahoma, online degree completion programs, and expanding opportunities at the University Center of Ponca City. In addition, there is no greater educational value than Northwestern. Our scholarship program is second to none with special incentive scholarships available at no other institution. But what ultimately will convince you that Northwestern is the place to earn your degree are the people. Visit our campuses and you will be greeted with a smile and a hello almost any place you go. Once you decide to become a Ranger, you truly join a family. Please use this viewbook to get an overview of our university. However, if you want the true Northwestern experience, schedule a campus visit today. I hope to see you on campus very soon. Janet Cunningham, Ed.D. President Class of 1976

My Investment “The professors at Northwestern are definitely top-notch. I’m sure many of them had the opportunity to go to a bigger college but for whatever reason they came here, and I’m glad they did because I’ve had plenty of professors who care tremendously about me and my success and have changed my life for the better in many different aspects. Northwestern is definitely helping me to live my dream, first of all by helping me find what my dream is. That’s the first goal for undergraduate students – to find out what they want to do for their life. But then after that, it’s all about setting you up for success, and Northwestern does a terrific job of setting students up for success.” ~ Cori Hoffman Montgomery, Texas, junior, Chemistry/Biology
