Oklahoma is its own thing - a unique blend of the South, the Southwest, and the Midwest, grounded in the culture of the American Indians and steeped in all of the influences of America's multifaceted pioneers. From Oklahoma comes the myth of the frontier immortalized in the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, but Oklahoma also keeps America's forebears alive through research and support of Native American culture and people. In fact, Oklahoma has more Native American students than any other state, along with critical research centers and programs oriented toward preserving American Indian languages, dance, literature, and music. Oklahoma's colleges and universities - like Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma, the state's major public research institutions - are preparing students for the future of work and commerce. Meanwhile the state's many Christian institutions - like Oklahoma Baptist University, Oklahoma Christian University, and Southwestern Christian University - prepare educators, healers, and businesspeople for service leadership.

The best colleges and universities in Oklahoma, as Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "take community engagement and economic uplift seriously." In many areas of the state, the higher education system is the key to turning around economic stagnation and worker exhaustion, educating working adults and traditional-aged students alike for the new world of work. According to Sealey-Morris, natural gas and oil have been bedrock for the state, but Oklahoma has embraced the modern age as well; Oklahoma's industry is now heavily invested in "biotechnology, bringing the state's age-old agricultural base into the laboratory, while telecommunications and electronics have made Oklahoma a growing hotbed for the tech industry." The state of Oklahoma has found its groove in the 21st century: "one of the most business-friendly states in the union, Oklahoma is booming with entrepreneurship and start-ups," and Oklahoma's top colleges and universities are helping make the future happen.
