About This School

Oklahoma Christian University is a private nonprofit institution located in Edmond, Oklahoma with approximately 1,885 undergraduate students enrolled. Oklahoma Christian University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 97%. The average net price after financial aid is $21,872 per year.

Oklahoma Christian University (OC) is a private Christian university in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was founded in 1950 by members of the Churches of Christ.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 97% acceptance rate and relatively low median debt of $18,500 make it accessible, but a 55% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, which is a real concern worth asking about before enrolling. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit, faith-centered community and value affordability, but push the admissions office on what support systems exist to help students actually complete their degree.
