Institutional research and strategic planning are critical to this endeavor. One of the essential ingredients to institutional planning is the compilation, analysis, and use of statistical data and other information related to the functioning of the University. This document presents that data in a usable format. The publication of the 26th ECU Fact Book is a continuation of the University's development of its research and planning components. The Fact Book's purpose is two-fold. First, it serves as a source of useful, accurate information about the University for faculty and administrators. Second, it provides the public with some measures of the University's success in addressing its mission. The statistical data presented in the Fact Book cover the period 2012 to 2017. The data show the extent to which East Central University serves its regional constituents, with the vast majority of its students residing in nearby counties. The Fact Book contains invaluable information about East Central University. ECU is fulfilling its mission as a regional university, and possesses the means to continue to do so.

Office of Institutional Effectiveness 1 History of East Central University East Central University was established by legislative act in 1909 as one of three regional state normal schools founded that year in the eastern half of Oklahoma, that part which had been Indian Territory before the founding of the State in 1907. Three similar institutions had been established earlier in Oklahoma Territory, which became the western half of the new state. The six institutions for many years served virtually identical purposes in the state's program of higher education. The normal school program consisted of four years of preparatory, or high school, work and two years at the college level. Graduates of the normal schools were awarded lifetime licenses for teaching in the public schools of the state. In 1919 the six state normal schools were authorized to increase their college programs to four years of teacher education and to confer bachelor's degrees. At that time they were designated teachers' colleges. In 1939 they were authorized to expand their programs to include degree programs in Arts and Sciences as well as Education, and the designation was changed to Oklahoma state colleges. In 1954 East Central University and the other Oklahoma state colleges were authorized to offer their first graduate work in a fifth- year program for teachers leading to the Master of Teaching degree. In 1969 the state colleges were authorized to change the name of this advanced degree from Master of Teaching to Master of Education. Other masters degrees have since been added. In 1974 the Oklahoma State Legislature officially changed the name of East Central from East Central State College to East Central Oklahoma State University and in 1985 the official title became East Central University. The academic schools of the University are the following: the Harland C. Stonecipher School of Business; the College of Education and Psychology; the College of Health and Sciences; the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences; and the School of Graduate Studies.
