Welcome to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, the largest two-year residential college in the state of Oklahoma. NEO has experienced record growth in enrollment and graduation over the past several years, and we’re excited to have new students like you join the ranks of the Golden Norsemen. At NEO, we believe student success begins with outstanding faculty and staff members. No other two-year college in the state of Oklahoma has a higher percentage of full-time faculty members per student than NEO, or departments staffed by people who go the extra mile to ensure you have step-by-step assistance throughout your educational journey. Once you’re enrolled in classes, we hope you’ll take advantage of our one-of-a-kind tutoring programs, supplemental instruction sessions, financial aid advising, academic counseling, study skill workshops and career exploration programs – just a few of the many services NEO provides to enhance your student experience. In only two years, NEO will enable you to obtain a degree that will place you on the career- path of your choice. Whether you plan to transfer to a four-year university or enter the work force, NEO will prepare you for what’s ahead. For almost 100 years the students, faculty and staff at NEO have taken great pride in saying: “Once a Norseman, Always a Norseman,” and on behalf of everyone at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, please allow me to say how excited we are to have you join our tradition of excellence.
