Southeastern Oklahoma State University, one of six institutions in the Regional University System of Oklahoma (RUSO), was established as a normal school in 1909 with an early mission of training public school teachers.

Southeastern's John Massey School of Business is accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and The Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). In 2010, Southeastern was once again approved for accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

The University also has a long and successful history of providing higher education opportunities for Native American students, which comprise 30 percent of the total student enrollment. Southeastern's service area covers significant parts of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations and partners with the tribes to provide specialized services for all Native American students. Southeastern is among the national leaders in the percentage of graduates who are Native American, the overall number of Native American graduates, and Native American graduates in education. Approximately 70 percent of Southeastern students receive some type of financial aid assistance. In recent years, the University has benefited from a tremendous upgrade in its physical facilities, with the construction of a new student union, a new residence hall, new tennis courts, and a renovated football stadium. A new arena opened in the fall of 2008, and a new general classroom building opened in 2010. In 2011, Southeastern began competing in the newly-established Great American Conference, which is in NCAA Division II.
