Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities at Cameron University

Cameron's liberal arts program punches well above its weight nationally—landing in the 84th percentile for earnings across 1,200+ schools—but the small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these numbers could shift significantly year to year. At $43,865 first-year, graduates earn about $7,500 more than the national median and trail only University of Oklahoma-Norman among Oklahoma schools. The debt load of $26,189 sits right at state averages, creating a manageable 0.60 debt-to-earnings ratio that most graduates should handle comfortably.

The caution here is statistical: with fewer than 30 graduates in the data, you're looking at outcomes for a very small group that may not predict future results reliably. A single high or low earner can skew the picture dramatically. That said, the fact that 41% of Cameron students receive Pell grants suggests the program serves economically diverse students, and those who complete this degree appear to find reasonable employment outcomes.

If your child is considering Cameron for cost reasons—it's likely cheaper than OU-Norman—these numbers suggest the liberal arts degree won't handicap their earning potential, at least based on this cohort. Just understand you're making the decision with limited data points, and the next year's graduates could tell a different story.
