About

As Oklahoma’s oldest public community college, Northern Oklahoma College (NOC) in Tonkawa is highly regarded for offering a high-quality, affordable associate-degree education with seamless transfer pathways to four-year institutions. The college is particularly renowned for its top-tier nursing program, hands-on agricultural sciences, and specialized process technology training aligned with the regional energy industry. Unlike many commuter-heavy two-year schools, NOC Tonkawa features a vibrant residential campus culture complete with on-campus housing, active student organizations, and competitive NJCAA Mavericks athletic teams. A key differentiator for prospective students is the unique NOC-OSU Gateway Program, which, combined with exceptionally low tuition and robust scholarship opportunities, provides an incredibly cost-effective and supportive bridge to a bachelor’s degree.
