Northwestern Oklahoma State University

What are the graduation rates for students at Northwestern Oklahoma State University?

About 30% of Northwestern Oklahoma State University students in the reported first-time, full-time bachelor's cohort completed a degree at the institution within six years. About 22% completed within four years. These are cohort measures, not the completion rate for every student who enrolls.

The six-year measure allows additional time beyond the conventional four-year schedule; the difference between the two rates shows that some students in the measured group finished later. The reported first-year retention rate was about 65%, meaning roughly that share of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students and many part-time or returning adults are not represented in the federal first-time, full-time graduation-rate calculation in the same way.

These outcomes warrant attention, but they do not establish why individual students left, transferred, or took longer. Applicants can make the figures more useful by asking their intended department about course rotation, prerequisite sequencing, advising, and completion patterns for students in that specific program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Northwestern Oklahoma State University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completing a Northwestern Oklahoma State University program. They are historical outcomes for measured former students, not starting-salary offers or a forecast for a new enrollee.

Among the reported program figures, the one-year earnings measure is $56,163 for registered nursing, $42,284 for teacher education in specific subject areas, $38,540 for business administration and management, and $35,670 for agricultural business and management. Criminal justice has a reported figure of $30,819. These are program-level measures; comparing them without considering occupation, location, further education, and licensure can be misleading.

College Scorecard earnings generally cover federally aided completers who are working and not enrolled in further education during the measurement period; they do not describe every graduate. Small program cohorts and privacy protections can also limit what is published. Prospective students should weigh these numbers alongside program costs, the kinds of jobs graduates seek, and whether a field commonly requires additional credentials.
