Outcomes Overview
Rogers State graduates earn a median salary of $43,166 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 47% based on the typical $20,500 debt load. Monthly loan payments of $217 consume about 6% of gross income, which falls within manageable territory. The 95.5% employment rate suggests strong job placement, though the relatively modest earnings reflect the regional job market in northeastern Oklahoma. Many graduates enter healthcare, business, and technical fields that serve the local economy. With low debt levels and reasonable monthly payments, Rogers State delivers an average return on investment for students seeking affordable career preparation without excessive financial burden.
