Southeastern Oklahoma State University

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

About 32% of the reported first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort graduated within six years; about 24% completed within four years. These are cohort measures, not the percentage of all Southeastern students - including transfers and part-time students - who eventually earn a degree.

The reported first-year retention rate was 63%, meaning that roughly that share of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Completion and retention figures describe different stages of enrollment and should not be added together. They also do not establish why an individual student leaves, pauses, transfers, or finishes later.

For a prospective student, the figures make a timely degree plan especially relevant. Ask the intended department how often required classes are offered, whether internships or student teaching affect the schedule, and how transferred or part-time credits change the expected time to graduation.

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

Field-of-study earnings figures for Southeastern vary substantially by program. College Scorecard figures reported for approximately one year after completion include $41,889 for accounting and related services, $35,520 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods, and $32,224 for communication and media studies.

These are program-level measures for the federally aided completers represented in the underlying earnings records, not starting-salary offers to every graduate. Small cohorts, differences in employment and further study, and the short period after completion all limit what a figure can tell an applicant. Earnings may also differ within a field by job, location, experience, and credential.

Students comparing majors should pair earnings figures with program costs, licensing requirements, internship access, and the kinds of work graduates pursue. Southeastern offers career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, employer connections, and job-search resources; access to those services should not be confused with a verified employment outcome.
