Oakland
University
Oakland
University is a public university located between Rochester
Hills, Michigan and Auburn Hills, Michigan. It is the only
major research university in Oakland County, from which OU
derives its name. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching has classified OU as a Doctoral Research-Intensive
University. Oakland University was created in 1957 when Matilda
Dodge Wilson, widow of automobile magnate John Francis Dodge,
and her second husband, Alfred Wilson, donated their 1,500-acre
estate to Michigan State University, including Meadow Brook
Hall, Sunset Terrace and all the estate's other buildings
and collections, along with $2 million. Originally known as
Michigan State University-Oakland, the university enrolled
its first students in 1959 and was renamed Oakland University
in 1963. The university has been officially independent since
1970.
