Central Oklahoma College
For-profit College in Oklahoma City, OK. Six-year graduation rate 53%. Median 10-year earnings $21,213.
Ten-year median earnings of $21,213 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 53% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Median debt at graduation is $7,883, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Six-year completion sits at 53%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. 65% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. Part-time retention runs ahead at 75% — a sign this campus supports non-traditional schedules well. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 829 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. About 71% get grants averaging $4,247, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 74% take federal loans to cover the gap.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 115 students
Federal student loans went to 610 of these 829 students, totalling $3,280,048 — an average of $5,377 each.
