Oklahoma State University's reported six-year graduation rate is 68% for the first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort measured in IPEDS. Its reported four-year rate is 52%. These figures measure completion within specified periods, not the likelihood that any particular student will graduate.
The reported first-year retention rate is 85%, meaning that most students in the measured first-time, full-time group returned the following fall. The four-year completion figure has risen from 41% in the 2019 reporting series to 52% in the latest figures. Transfer students, part-time students, and graduate students can follow different paths and are not adequately described by this first-time, full-time graduation measure. A prospective student should compare the rate with the sequencing and typical time to degree in the specific major they plan to enter.
Federal College Scorecard program data report median earnings for certain Oklahoma State University completers about one year after completing a credential. These are program-level measures for the federally aided population captured by the data, not a salary offer or a prediction for every graduate.
The reported one-year medians vary substantially by field. Examples include approximately $72,362 for chemical engineering, $54,316 for computer and information sciences, $43,523 for agricultural business and management, and $29,274 for psychology. Different majors can lead to different occupations, and some graduates continue into further study. Earnings can also reflect local labor markets, prior experience, hours worked, and which completers are represented in the federal records. The figures are most useful when compared among similar programs and considered alongside cost, debt, further-study plans, and longer-term career goals.
