Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 30 OK 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 31% - 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 30,851 enrolled students, University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus is the 102nd largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,483 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Oklahoma State University-Main Campus (2.38/1k); 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 (NUC University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus rose from 44 to 69 (+57%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (28 to 42), Rape (4 to 13) and Fondling (2 to 9). Falling over the same period: Burglary (10 to 1).
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 University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Fondling, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Arson and Robbery. Motor Vehicle Theft accounts for most of them.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. 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 University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus sits on price and outcomes
At $15,300, University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus's reported average net price is cheaper than 64% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.

- Oklahoma median
- 2.5×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $10,477
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $10,509, while those above $110,000 record $20,986 - roughly 2.0 times as much. A published average of $15,300 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 $52,216, roughly 3.4 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.
