Upon graduation from high school, the student can qualify as a “bridge” student and return to the university campus to enroll in eight hours of college courses during the summer term. Academic year follow-ups include activities designed to assist students in their academic studies and help keep students motivated and working toward their educational goals. The Upward Bound Program is funded by the U.S Department of Education. Additional information may be obtained from the Director of the program, Mr. Larry Dresser, in Hallie McKinny Hall, Room 108; phone (580) 745-2914; fax (580) 745-7481; e-mail ldresser@SE.edu Upward Bound Math/Science Center The SE Upward Bound Math/Science Program is a program funded through the U.S. Department of Education for motivated high school freshmen & sophomores with an interest in pursuing careers in math and science. Students, who meet federal eligibility guidelines, are provided with the opportunity to enhance their education and prepare for college and ultimately a career in math or science through a simulated summer college going experience. The summer program offers a challenging daily schedule for two to six weeks. All the classes, speakers, activities, mentoring experiences, and field trips are designed to enhance the education, social, and cultural awareness of each participant to better prepare them for the completion of a college degree in a math or science field. The students receive college credit during their fourth year of participation. The academic year program provides career and academic counseling, tutoring, ACT/SAT preparation, financial aid workshops, social and cultural activities, and campus seminars. Students are selected for the four-year program from the target area schools in southeastern Oklahoma and north Texas. The Upward Bound Program is funded by the U.S Department of Education.

Dr. James Lester in the Department of Biological Sciences negotiated with Otis Higgenbotham and Cliff Hayes at the Texoma Project for a 460-acre tract that was not in the COE grazing program. This area is located between the Johnson Creek Recreational Area and the Roosevelt Bridge adjacent to and north of U.S. Hwy. 70, about 11 miles west of the campus and Durant, Oklahoma. It is surrounded on three sides by Lake Texoma and Hwy. 70 on the south. The area is covered by a mix of hardwoods and open areas of grasses and forbs typical of Southeastern Oklahoma. Before construction of the lake, part of the area had been cultivated and the vegetation on these areas are typical of old fields. Spring burning is used to remove unwanted plant growth and the spread of woody species. Since 1975, numerous classroom research projects involving hundreds of students have used the BioScience Area for ecological studies. It is also used by many of the special programs that occur on campus such as the Math and Science Academy and the Oklahoma Academy of Science. Center for Leadership and Entrepreneurship The Center for Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Graduate Studies is a program of the School of Business. The purpose of the Center is to offer academic undergraduate courses in the area of leadership studies that lead to a degree in Leadership. The Center also offers comprehensive leadership opportunities through entrepreneurship and small business consulting. The Center serves as a learning resource and educational outreach program in support of leadership development, entrepreneurship, and graduate studies. Cooperative Education Program The Department of Biological Sciences has cooperative agreements with the U.S. Corps of Engineers, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Students selected for the programs are full-time juniors, seniors, and graduates who want to make a career in government service. Students in the program alternate semesters of full-time work with all regular benefits with semesters of full-time academics. Upon completion of the co-op agreement and graduation, students typically are given full-time employment with the government agency. Additional information may be obtained from the campus coordinator for co-op programs in the Department of Biological Sciences: Dr. Tim Patton, (580) 745-2284; e-mail tpatton@ SE.edu. Oklahoma Small Business Development Center Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SE), in partnership with the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) established the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center Network (OSBDC) in 1984.
