Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay around $6,351 annually at Carl Albert State College, while those making $75,000-$110,000 face the full $11,921 cost. Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, keeping costs manageable for working-class families in southeastern Oklahoma. A two-year degree here runs $12,700-$23,800 total depending on family income.

Graduates typically leave with $9,362 in debt, translating to $99 monthly payments. That's reasonable against median earnings of $34,117 ten years out. Only 14% of students take federal loans, suggesting many pay as they go or rely on family support. Women make up nearly three-quarters of the student body, reflecting the college's strong nursing and education programs.

Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly half what wealthier families spend while accessing the same career training and university transfer programs.
