Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 30 OK 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma is larger than 24% and safer-reporting than 14% - the smaller, 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.

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 University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma fell from 6 to 2 (-67%). The increase shows up in Rape (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (4 to 1) and 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 University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault and Rape.
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.

Cost context
Where University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma sits on price and outcomes
At $6,624, University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma's reported average net price is cheaper than 19% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.

- average net price

- Oklahoma median
- 1.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $10,920
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,493, while those above $110,000 record $14,413 - roughly 4.1 times as much. A published average of $6,624 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $35,520 - about 5.4 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
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.
