Outcomes Overview
Northern Oklahoma College graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt burdens. The median debt of $11,000 creates monthly payments of just $117, representing only 3.7% of typical graduate earnings. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.29 sits well below concerning levels. Nearly 90% of graduates find employment within six years. The college's strong agricultural and technical programs feed into Oklahoma's energy sector and farming industries.
