How this list is ordered
Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Accounting graduates four years after completing, highest first. Only schools with a reported Accounting earnings cohort in Oklahoma appear. The figure covers federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled four years after finishing. It does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. The list includes seven public and three private nonprofit institutions.
