Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) is a public community college in Miami, Oklahoma. Established as the Miami School of Mines in 1919, NEO has an enrollment of approximately two thousand students. The Golden Norsemen is the school mascot.
History
The Oklahoma Senate passed Senate Bill 225 on March 17, 1919 to establish the Miami School of Mines.[2] The school began operations in September 1920.[3] In 1924, the school became Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College, as mining became less important in Miami.[4][5][6] In April 1943, the Board of Regents for the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges gained control of the college, and the college became Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College.[3]
Academics
Northeastern Oklahoma A&M offers certificate programs and associate degrees.[7]
