About This School
Ozarka College is a public institution located in Melbourne, Arkansas with approximately 575 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $4,543 per year. Typical graduates earn $28,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Ozarka College (OC) is a public community college with its main campus in Melbourne, Arkansas and satellite campuses in Mountain View, Ash Flat, and Mammoth Spring. The college serves the populations of Izard, Stone, Fulton, and Sharp counties.
This is a strong option for students in rural north-central Arkansas who want an affordable path into the workforce — at just $4,396 per year after aid and a median debt of only $7,713 at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $28,100 a decade out reflect the limited regional economy and the types of jobs these programs typically lead to, so students with ambitions beyond the local area may find their options narrow. Worth considering as a practical, low-cost starting point, especially for those planning to transfer or enter trades and healthcare fields serving the surrounding counties.
