About This School

Northern Oklahoma College is a public institution located in Tonkawa, Oklahoma with approximately 1,865 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,201 per year. Typical graduates earn $35,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Northern Oklahoma College (NOC) is a public community college in Tonkawa, Oklahoma, with additional campuses located in Enid, Oklahoma and Stillwater, Oklahoma. Student enrollment is approximately 3,100 as of fall 2023. NOC bought the former Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma, in 1999 and it became the NOC Enid campus.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while completing your first two years — at just $8,201/year net price and a median debt of only $7,375 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths into higher education in the region. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $35,800 a decade out, which is modest, so think carefully about what you plan to study and where you intend to transfer, since your four-year destination will likely matter more than the time spent here.
