Since IT was founded in Tulsa in 1979, Platt College - Oklahoma has expanded to six campuses across the state and one in Texas. Initially, a single course of study was offered, but over the last several decades, Platt College has steadily expanded. Programs and degrees are now offered in a variety of health-related fields (including nursing, medical assistant, dental assistant, Pharmacy Technician and massage therapy), as well as restaurant management, Culinary Arts, pastry arts and information technology, among others.

Classrooms on all Platt College - Oklahoma campuses mirror that of the environments students will encounter once they begin their careers. Computers with current software are standard on all campuses. Dental students practice in classrooms that include dental chairs and x-ray machines, while medical and hospital labs feature EKG machines, microscopes, exam tables, venipuncture arms and a simulated operating room. Culinary arts students practice their craft in modern kitchens, a bakery and working restaurants.
