Each institution is governed by a board of regents.
The State Regents also serve as the federally recognized approval agency for

of all degree-granting institutions operating in Oklahoma, and as the
State Portal Entity
for all Oklahoma institutions participating in
State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements
