About This School

Cameron University is a public institution located in Lawton, Oklahoma with approximately 2,534 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,705 per year. The graduation rate is 22%, and the typical graduate earns $38,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Cameron University is a public university in Lawton, Oklahoma. It offers more than 50 degrees through both undergraduate and graduate programs. The degree programs emphasize the liberal arts, science and technology, and graduate and professional studies. It was founded in 1908, soon after Oklahoma was admitted as a state, as one of six agricultural high schools in the largely rural region.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $10,705/year net price and a median debt of only $11,000 at graduation, this school is genuinely affordable — but a 22% graduation rate is a serious red flag, meaning most students who start here don't finish. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, live in the Lawton area, and have a clear plan to stay on track, but be honest with yourself about needing strong self-discipline and support to beat those odds.
