Private College in Tulsa, OK. Six-year graduation rate 73%. Median 10-year earnings $28,954.

Academics
73% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 88%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit two-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 215 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $28,913 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,581 at $0–30k against $32,433 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 72% get grants averaging $4,978, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 73% 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.
