Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management at Miller-Motte College-Tulsa

With 82% of students receiving Pell grants, Miller-Motte College-Tulsa serves a heavily low-income population—and that context matters when evaluating outcomes. Graduates start at $34,521, which ranks at just the 23rd percentile nationally but hits the 60th percentile among Oklahoma's limited pool of similar programs. The debt load of $25,849 is manageable at 0.75 times first-year earnings, and the 23% earnings bump to $42,302 by year four suggests graduates gain traction in the job market over time.

Here's the challenge: national programs typically start students at $41,752—about $7,200 more annually. That gap matters when you're trying to pay down debt on an entry-level IT salary. However, this program costs less than the national norm and serves students who might not have access to higher-performing alternatives. For Oklahoma families, particularly those already qualifying for Pell grants, the debt burden is reasonable and the earnings trajectory points upward rather than stagnating.

This isn't a standout program by national standards, but it delivers acceptable value for its specific population. If your child has access to a community college or state university with stronger IT outcomes, explore those first. If Miller-Motte is the most realistic path to an IT credential, the numbers suggest graduates can service their debt while building toward better-paying roles.
