Northeastern State University
Honoring the past, embracing the present, envisioning the future
Founded in 1851 as the original Cherokee National Female Seminary, Northeastern State University has evolved into Oklahoma's leading comprehensive regional university and the fourth largest university in the state. With campuses in Tahlequah, Broken Arrow, and Muskogee, NSU provides undergraduate and graduate learning for bachelors and masters degree programs, and a doctoral degree in Optometry. NSU was recently named 'Best Regional University' by Oklahoma Living Magazine readers. Northeastern State University is a blend of the old and the new, where rich history meets modern technology. Tahlequah was rated as one of America's top small cities and is the historic capital of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.
