S o u t h e a s t e r n O k l a h o m a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y August 2012 Update A national leader Southeastern ranks 10th in producing Native American graduates According to the latest rankings in Diverse Issues In Higher Education, Southeastern Oklahoma State University is among the top schools in the nation for producing Native American graduates. In the undergraduate cate-gory, Southeastern has nine dif-ferent fields represented in the national top 10; in the graduate degree category, Southeastern has three programs recognized in the top 10. The University ranks number one in Occupational Safety & Health (undergraduate and graduate) and 10th in the nation in all disciplines combined (undergraduate). “It is a great honor for us to be recognized nationally for our work with Native American students,’’ said South-eastern president Larry Minks. “What is most impressive to me is the number of different subject areas that are repre-sented in the rankings. We have a number of programs in place, including the U.S. Department of Education grant that we received last year, to assist students. The Native American Center for Student Success continues to do an outstanding job as well. Finally, we are very appreciative to have tremendous support from the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Chickasaw Nation. The partnerships that have been established with both nations make a tremendous difference in the lives of our students.’’ Each year, the magazine publishes its top 100 rankings of minority graduates. The report is based on preliminary data from the U.S. Department of Education for the 2010- 11 school year. Last year, the University re-ceived a $2 million federal grant to enhance the academic success of its Native American students. The five-year, $1,995,623 Title III grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Educa-tion. Following are Southeast-ern’s national rankings, by field, in the top 100 degree producers list (Native American students) as released by Diverse Issues In Higher Education: Undergraduate 1 -- Engineering Technologies and Engineering Re-lated Fields (Occupational Safety and Health) 2 -- Communication, Journalism, and Related Programs 3 -- Transportation and Materials Moving (Aviation) 4 -- Education 4 -- Psychology 5 -- Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and Fitness Studies 7 -- Marketing 8 -- Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies, and Humanities 9 -- Biological and Biomedical Sciences 10 -- All Disciplines Combined Graduate 1 -- Engineering (Occupational Safety & Health) 4 -- Psychology (Clinical Mental Heath Counseling) 8 -- Education 11 -- All Disciplines Combined Each spring, a Native American graduation reception is held at Southeastern.
