Founded in 1908 as the Oklahoma School of Mines and Metallurgy, Eastern Oklahoma State College primarily focused on mining engineering. [3] The school opened on January 11, 1909, with one hundred students and George E. Ladd as president. The first graduates received diplomas in 1912. [2]

The Oklahoma Miner Institute, which is housed on campus, is a legacy of the original purpose of the school.

The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredited the school in March 1954. In 1972, it was renamed as the Eastern Oklahoma State College, with its own governing board. [2]
