May 2, 2025

Southeastern Oklahoma State University will hold its 2025 spring commencement ceremonies on Friday, May 9, and Saturday, May 10, in Durant.

On Friday, May 9, master’s degrees will be conferred at 6 p.m., and Saturday, May 10, baccalaureate degrees will be awarded at 9 a.m.

The Spring 2025 graduating class resets the record for the largest graduating class in the university’s history, with 877 students graduating – 324 baccalaureate degree recipients, 553 graduate degree recipients, and 47 certificate recipients. There are representatives from 44 states and U.S. territories, 10 countries, and 17 sovereign tribal nations.

Within the graduating class, 305 graduates have indicated first-generation status, with 69 indicating legacy status – having a parent or grandparent who previously graduated from Southeastern. Over 94 percent of the class is graduating with a degree in Oklahoma’s critical occupation listing.

Both ceremonies will be held in Bloomer Sullivan Arena and will also be available for viewing online at www.SE.edu and on the SE Facebook and YouTube pages.
