- About Durant, Oklahoma
Southeastern Oklahoma State University will be closed on Monday, January 26, in the interest of health and safety of students, faculty, and staff with ongoing winter weather conditions. Essential services will be provided to residential students on campus, but other academic and business functions will be closed. Online and remote learning classes will proceed as scheduled. This closure applies to the Durant and McCurtain County campuses. Other satellite facilities will follow local guidance.
Nestled north of Dallas and south of Oklahoma City, the city of Durant is the home of Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
Oklahoma’s “Magnolia Capital,” initially founded by a family of French and Choctaw descent, has small-town charm while celebrating a robust Native American heritage. Durant is a growing community with a population of 17,000. It is surrounded by productive farm land, excellent grazing land, three rivers, and a state park and recreational area. The economy of Durant is changing from one that has been primarily agricultural to one that is more diverse. This change has been influenced by the recreational opportunities at nearby Lake Texoma which serves more than five million visitors annually.
