Outcomes Overview
Rose State graduates earn a median of $37,555 ten years after enrollment, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 28% with typical debt loads of $10,453. Monthly loan payments of $111 consume roughly 3.6% of graduates' income. The 91.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Oklahoma's energy, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. Many transfer students see higher earnings after completing bachelor's degrees elsewhere. The low loan repayment rate of 38.43% suggests some graduates struggle despite modest debt levels. Community college graduates nationwide typically earn less initially but Rose State's combination of affordable tuition and solid employment outcomes delivers an average return on investment for most students.
