What are the graduation rates for students at Oklahoma Christian University?

Oklahoma Christian University's reported four-year graduation rate is 44%, while its six-year rate is 56%. These measures track a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a degree; they do not represent the completion rate of every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student.

The difference between the two measures shows why allowing additional time matters when comparing colleges. The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, measuring the share of a comparable entering group that continued into the following year. None of these institution-wide figures predicts whether a particular student will graduate. Applicants in programs with sequential courses or clinical requirements should examine their program's expected timeline as well.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Oklahoma Christian University?

Field-of-study earnings figures offer a limited view of early outcomes for some Oklahoma Christian graduates. College Scorecard figures reported for approximately one year after completion include median earnings of $58,287 for mechanical engineering and $56,096 for registered nursing.

Other reported one-year field medians include $54,139 for accounting, $40,078 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods, and $27,927 for design and applied arts. These figures concern the graduates captured by the Scorecard's federal-aid and earnings measures; they are not starting-salary offers to all graduates, and they should not be read as a guarantee. Results can reflect differences in occupation, location, further study, hours worked, and the size of the measured group.

Students comparing career paths should weigh these figures alongside program costs, likely borrowing, licensing requirements, and the kinds of jobs they actually hope to pursue. A one-year measure cannot describe an entire career.
