Oral Roberts University was unchanged from 3 to 3 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 30 OK 4-year peers in this comparison, Oral Roberts University is larger than 86% and safer-reporting than 72% - 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 Oral Roberts University held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Arson (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 Oral Roberts University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Arson and Motor Vehicle Theft. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, 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.

Cost context
Where Oral Roberts University sits on price and outcomes
At $25,365, Oral Roberts University's reported average net price is cheaper than 92% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.

- average net price
- $12,710
- Oklahoma median
- 1.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $8,620
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $21,894 for families reporting under $30,000 against $30,514 above $110,000, a difference of $8,620. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $25,365 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $39,112 run about 1.5 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.
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.
