Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 28 OK 2-year peers in this comparison, Murray State College is larger than 81% and safer-reporting than 52% - the larger, safer-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

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 Murray State College fell from 4 to 1 (-75%). The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (3 to 0) and Rape (1 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 Murray State College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Burglary and Rape. Aggravated Assault accounts for most of them.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, Incest and Motor Vehicle Theft. 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.

Cost context
Where Murray State College sits on price and outcomes
At $12,844, Murray State College's reported average net price is cheaper than 51% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.

- average net price
- $12,710
- Oklahoma median
- 2.5×
- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
This institution reports an unusual pattern: families under $30,000 record a HIGHER net price ($13,223) than those above $110,000 ($12,111). Fewer than 2% of institutions reporting both brackets show this shape. It can reflect small bracket samples or programme mix rather than aid policy, so treat it as a question to raise with the financial-aid office rather than a finding.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $33,903, roughly 2.6 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
