Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Carl Albert State College held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Rape (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (2 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Carl Albert State College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape and Aggravated Assault.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, Incest and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Where Carl Albert State College sits on price and outcomes
At $14,607, Carl Albert State College's reported average net price is cheaper than 61% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.

- Oklahoma median
- 3.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
Six-year median earnings of $30,375 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here. Only 42% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
