Oklahoma Junior College History

According to the schools' general catalogs, Oklahoma Junior College began in Tulsa as the Oklahoma School of Accountancy, Law and Finance in 1919. In 1949 the college became known as the Oklahoma School of Business, Accounting, Law and Finance and, in 1952, was accredited by the National Accreditation Authority for Private Business Schools. In November 1982, the school was renamed Oklahoma Junior College of Business and Technology of Tulsa. The Association of Independent Colleges and Schools granted junior college status to the institution in July 1984, and the Oklahoma Board of Regents for Higher Education authorized associate degree-granting authority in applied sciences. In January 1985, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Institutions of Higher Education granted initial candidacy to the college.

In April 1985, Oklahoma Junior College of Business and Technology of Tulsa opened a branch campus in Oklahoma City, and it was known as Oklahoma Junior College of Business and Technology of Oklahoma City. In 1989, the Oklahoma City campus was officially designated Oklahoma Junior College. The Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) granted full branch accreditation to the Oklahoma City campus in April 1986. In April 1987, the Oklahoma City campus established itself as independent of the Tulsa campus. The Oklahoma Regents of Higher Education approved the college for the granting of the Associate of Applied Science Degree in June of 1987. In August 1989, the ACICS granted free-standing status to the college.

The Tulsa school closed in January 1993, and the Oklahoma City school closed in October 1995.
