In 1894, it began to offer undergraduate degrees. The school then became the Henry Kendall College, named for a Presbyterian missionary.

The university’s athletic teams are called the Golden Hurricane. Well-known graduates of the university include Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma; Steve Largent, a professional football player who later became a United States congressman from Oklahoma; and golfer Nancy Lopez.
