General Information

Weekend College

In today’s fast-paced world, a college education is the key to significant career advancement opportunities. Not everyone, however, has the time or financial resources to attend school during the day or evening, and for this reason Northeastern State University offers an optional mode of education. Alternative programming or scheduling, primarily through the Weekend College, serves individuals whose occupations prohibit normal university enrollment or who reside at distances which make daily commuting to campus inconvenient or prohibitive.

Northeastern State University offers a variety of courses through the weekend format. Courses are offered in Tahlequah, Muskogee, and Broken Arrow. The following colleges offer courses in the Weekend College: College of Business and Technology, College of Education, College of Science and Health Professions, and College of Liberal Arts.

The Weekend College is scheduled in a variety of formats. The majority of weekend courses are offered on a Friday/Saturday combination, meeting alternating weekends. Instruction may be scheduled by the following time frames: 1) Friday evening/Saturday for four weekends or 2) Saturday all day for six to eight weekends. This is an example of a three-hour course for credit. Schedules may vary according to the course and number of credit hours.

The Weekend College is an organized program of primarily weekend instruction through which the college offers credit. It is structured around the special needs of non-traditional students. The curriculum is organized in a time intensive arrangement that presumes selfdirection on the part of the student. For further information, call (800) 722-9614 or 918-456-5511, ext. 4610.
