Southeastern Oklahoma State University, often referred to as Southeastern and abbreviated as SOSU, is a public university located in Durant, Oklahoma with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 4,000 as of 2005.
The college was founded in 1909 as Southeastern State Normal School, following an act of the Oklahoma state legislature, with its initial emphasis on teacher training. Expansion of the various degree programs over the years culminated with its redesignation as a State University in 1974. The college is now undergoing a tremendous makeover, with more dorms being constructed, a new student union plaza, and the recently renewed Pual Laird football field. The previous SOSU President was Dr. Glen D. Johnson who served Southeastern for 9 years. At the start of 2007, Johnson left Southeastern and assumed the duties of Chancellor of the Oklahoma State System for Higher Education. Dr. Jesse Snowden is currently serving as Interim President at Southeastern.
The student to faculty ratio is 20:1.
Students have access to more than 411 computers in 8 labs/classrooms across campus.
64% of their classes have fewer than 30 students; less than three percent of classes have more than 50 students.
==Athletics== SOSU is currently a member of the NCAA Division II Lone Star Conference, North Division.
The Savage Storm participate in baseball, men's and women's basketball, football, men's and women's tennis, rodeo, women's cross country, softball, and women's volleyball.
SOSU was one of the many schools named by the NCAA regarding the use of a Native American nickname, Savages. The school has since changed its athletic nickname to the "Savage Storm". Its mascot is now a superhero instead of a Native American symbol.
