What happened
Rogers State University plans to expand its presence in downtown Tulsa by acquiring the Atlas School near Archer Street and Cheyenne Avenue. The Atlas School currently provides workforce training for high-demand technology jobs, including software development. Rogers State University would use the existing resources to offer courses for both college credit and professional development, with funding provided by the George Kaiser Family Foundation to cover lease and operating costs.
