About This School

Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City is a public institution located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with approximately 3,514 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,081 per year. The graduation rate is 15%, and the typical graduate earns $39,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

Oklahoma State University–Oklahoma City (OSU-OKC) is a public university in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is part of the Oklahoma State University System. Founded in 1961 as a branch of Oklahoma State University–Stillwater, its name changed from Oklahoma State University Technical Institute to its current designation in 1990. The school offers more than 40 degrees and/or certificates. Classes are held weekdays and weeknights, on-campus, online and hybrid, with intersession courses available. The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,877 per year after aid and a low median debt of $8,989, the cost is genuinely hard to beat for a public institution. However, the 13% graduation rate is a serious red flag — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $39,300 a decade out suggest limited long-term financial payoff even for those who do. This school may work if you have a very specific program in mind and a clear plan to stay enrolled, but students who need strong academic support and completion resources should look carefully before committing.
