The University of Tulsa (TU) is a private research university in Tulsa, Oklahoma.^[5] It has a historic affiliation with the Presbyterian Church and the campus architectural style is predominantly Collegiate Gothic. The school traces its origin to the Presbyterian School for Girls, which was established in 1882 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, then a town in Indian Territory, and which evolved into an institution of higher education named Henry Kendall College by 1894. The college moved to Tulsa, another town in the Creek Nation in 1904, before the state of Oklahoma was created. In 1920, Kendall College was renamed the University of Tulsa.^[6]

The University of Tulsa is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".^[7] It manages the Gilcrease Museum, which includes one of the largest collections of American Western art and indigenous American artifacts in the world.^[8] TU also hosts the Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, founded by former TU professor and noted feminist critic Germaine Greer (now at the University of Cambridge). The university also houses The Bob Dylan Archive at the Helmerich Center for American Research.TU students have won 66 Goldwater Scholarships, 5 Marshall Scholarships, 3 Rhodes Scholarships (9 Rhodes finalists), 25 Fulbright Scholarships, and numerous Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, and Morris K.
