Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 30 OK 4-year peers in this comparison, Oklahoma State University-Main Campus is larger than 97% and safer-reporting than 38% - the larger, higher-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.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 27,278 enrolled students, Oklahoma State University-Main Campus is the 128th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,457 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus (3.01/1k); University of Central Oklahoma (1.04/1k); Northeastern State University (1.78/1k); Oral Roberts University (0.51/1k); Southeastern Oklahoma State University (0.85/1k); Southwestern Oklahoma State University (1.54/1k); Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City (0.00/1k); University of Tulsa (12.01/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (Santa Ana College is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Oklahoma State University-Main Campus rose from 40 to 52 (+30%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (2 to 16), Burglary (18 to 20) and Arson (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Rape (11 to 6) and Aggravated Assault (5 to 3).
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 Oklahoma State University-Main Campus
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 8 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Rape, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Arson, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 3 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 Oklahoma State University-Main Campus sits on price and outcomes
At $17,447, Oklahoma State University-Main Campus's reported average net price is cheaper than 75% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.

- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $12,243, while those above $110,000 record $24,711 - roughly 2.0 times as much. A published average of $17,447 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $46,855, roughly 2.7 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.
