Direct Admission
Direct Admission Program
Northeastern State University is proud to offer direct admission to qualifying seniors from Berryhill, Broken Arrow, Fort Gibson, Hulbert, Muskogee, Sequoyah-Tahlequah, Stilwell, Tahlequah, Warner, and Westville high schools.
The NSU direct admission program is designed to increase college pathways for students who may not have considered college as a viable option otherwise. Additionally, this aims to alleviate hurdles for low-income, first generation, and historically disadvantaged student populations.
