Eastern Oklahoma State College, United States

United States

Eastern Oklahoma State College was originally established in 1908 as the Oklahoma School of Mines and Metallurgy, offering degrees in mining engineering. Although closed during World War I, the school reopened in 1920 with trade and industrial education added to the curriculum. In 1924, the School of Mines added teacher training and extension courses, but with the decline of local area mining by then well advanced, the school dropped mining engineering. Then in 1927, the school won a long overdue name change to Eastern Oklahoma State College and with the change came an added mission of pre-college level instruction. In 1941, the again renamed Eastern Oklahoma State College Agricultural and Mechanical College moved under the control of the State Board of Agriculture as a junior college. Finally, in 1972, the legislature settled on the name Eastern Oklahoma State College and created a separate board to govern the institution. Since that time, Eastern has been a comprehensive community college providing instruction in a wide range of curricula.

Eastern Oklahoma State College offers associate degree and certification programs at four locations in southeast Oklahoma to meet the needs of a diverse community of students. Whether you’re a high school student wanting to get started early, a recent high school graduate, or a first-time or returning adult student, you’ll find your place at Eastern.

The Eastern campus is located in Wilburton, Oklahoma, in the heart of a beautiful valley between the SanBois and Winding Stair Mountain Ranges. Forest-covered mountains, mountain streams and nearby Robbers Cave State Park provides a great outdoors playground for swimming, fishing, hunting, picnicking and driving year round.
