Health and Physical Education/Fitness at Oral Roberts University

The 63% earnings jump between year one and year four tells an interesting story here—graduates who start around $32,000 typically reach $52,000 within four years, well above what most health and physical education programs deliver nationally. That growth trajectory suggests graduates are landing positions with clear advancement potential, whether in school district PE programs, fitness management, or sports training roles.

The numbers put Oral Roberts at the 60th percentile both nationally and within Oklahoma—a solid middle-of-the-pack performance in a state where options like Oklahoma State ($35,437) and University of Central Oklahoma ($33,125) do show stronger first-year outcomes. The debt load of $25,965 sits close to the national median but runs higher than Oklahoma's state median of $21,578, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.81 that's manageable if that four-year earnings growth materializes.

The major caveat: this data comes from a small sample of fewer than 30 graduates, so individual career paths can swing these averages significantly. If your child is specifically interested in Oral Roberts' faith-based approach to physical education, the four-year earnings trajectory suggests graduates who stick with the field do reasonably well. But understand you're paying slightly more debt for middle-tier starting outcomes in a state where comparable programs often cost less upfront.
