The Northeastern State University Oklahoma College of Optometry has transformed the lives of its alumni since 1979. When students enroll at NSUOCO, they join a family of caring optometric physicians and staff dedicated to providing the highest level of care to patients, and the highest level of education to students. Upon graduation, alumni quickly learn the value of the connections made in school as they embark upon their various career paths. Whether they open a private practice, provide vision care in a military setting, join a co-management practice, or pursue a career in higher education, NSUOCO alumni will benefit from the expertise and counsel of those who have traveled similar paths. Many of our alumni serve as faculty, clinical adjuncts, or supervise student externs or residents in their practices. NSUOCO takes great pride in the accomplishments of its alumni.
