WELCOME www.neo.edu WELCOME Contact Math and Science Cunningham Hall 200 I street NE, Miami, Oklahoma 74354 mathandscience@neo.edu All of the science and math classes you enroll in at NEO will be small, with no more than 35 students per class (most being no more than 20.) Classes are taught by full-time teaching faculty, not graduate assistants. You will have access to the instructors whenever you need help. You will also be advised by science and math faculty who understand the requirements for the degree you seek and can give you professional advice on which courses to take and alternative degrees if you change your mind. With the help of your academic advisor, you can complete all the classes you would take at a university, for half the cost. All of our graduates transfer to a university to complete a B.S. degree. Many of them will apply to a professional school such as engineering, pharmacy, physical therapy or optometry after one year at the university. Many will complete a B.S. and then apply to schools of medicine or pharmacology. Some will complete a B.S. degree and enter the workforce. NEO graduates in math and science have been quite successful in being admitted to the professional school of their choice. We have several recent graduates that have become doctors, physical therapists, pharmacists, engineers, optometrists and dental hygienists. Some have become science or math teachers and others have gone on to graduate school. I attended NEO for two years and transferred to OSU in 1993. My experiences as a preengineering major at NEO gave me the solid foundation needed for earning my Bachelor s Degree in Mathematics from OSU and my Master s Degree from Pittsburg State. The instructors at NEO presented a great learning atmosphere and were the best instructors I had in all my years in college. I loved NEO so much that I taught there for five years and I still serve as public address announcer for NEO football and basketball. Once a Norseman, always a Norseman and I ll always be a Norseman!

These include dental hygiene, radiology technologist (x-ray techs), mortuary science, chiropractic, forensics, etc. These students are advised to take courses at NEO that satisfy the requirement for the program in which they plan to apply. I received a great start to my education at NEO. I wasn t sure what I wanted to do so NEO allowed me to try different options before I decided to do Pre-Med. After graduation I attended Pittsburg State University and then Medical School at the University of Kansas. I always felt that I was as well-prepared for upper division courses as my classmates that started at the university as freshmen. At NEO I was also able to be involved in PTK and develop leadership skills. JOEL GRIGSBY, MD Anesthesiology and Cardio-Thoracic Critical Care University of Kansas Medical Center NEO class of 2000
