History

The Oklahoma Senate passed Senate Bill 225 on March 17, 1919 to establish the Miami School of Mines.[1] The school began operations in September 1920.[2] In 1924, the school became Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College, as mining became less important in Miami.[3] [4] [5] In April 1943, the Board of Regents for the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges gained control of the college, and the college became Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.[2]

Academics

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M offers certificate programs and associate degrees.[6]
