Net price (after aid): $22,857

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $75k – $110k, $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $3,858. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.

The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Oklahoma City University does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $67,968, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 215 of Oklahoma City University's 2,763 students (8%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 410 (15%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Where is Oklahoma City University located?
Oklahoma City University is located in Oklahoma City, OK, in the United States.
What type of institution is Oklahoma City University?
Oklahoma City University is a private university based in OK. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
What is the acceptance rate at Oklahoma City University?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at Oklahoma City University is approximately 77% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
What is the tuition at Oklahoma City University?
Oklahoma City University's published in-state tuition is approximately $35,648 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend Oklahoma City University?
Oklahoma City University reports total enrollment of approximately 2,966 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Oklahoma City University actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Oklahoma City University is approximately $22,857 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $15,187 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $29,358. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Oklahoma City University?
Oklahoma City University reports a graduation rate of approximately 65% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Oklahoma City University have?
Students who borrowed at Oklahoma City University left with a median of approximately $20,835 in federal loans, and about 45% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of Oklahoma City University earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $54,655 for students who received federal financial aid at Oklahoma City University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Oklahoma City University?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Oklahoma City University.
How much do Law graduates from Oklahoma City University earn?
Oklahoma City University's professional-degree graduates in Law earned a median $74,062 four years after graduating, 31% below the $107,773 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $53,246; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $145,281 in federal loans at this college (about $1,653 a month on a 10-year plan). For context, lawyers in Oklahoma are paid a median $103,060 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Oklahoma City University earn?
Oklahoma City University's bachelor's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $85,736 four years after graduating, 4% below the $88,910 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $72,980; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $13,986 in federal loans at this college (about $148 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $27,093 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). For context, registered nurses in Oklahoma are paid a median $82,920 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
Which programs at Oklahoma City University have the highest graduate earnings?
Among the 11 programs at Oklahoma City University with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment), master's ($140,279); Energy Systems Technologies/Technicians, master's ($127,865); and Nursing (RN), doctoral ($126,859) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
Does Oklahoma City University get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Oklahoma City University's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $67,968, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
