Oklahoma City Community College

What Oklahoma City Community College does

Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) is a public two-year community college founded in 1972, operating under the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and headquartered on a 160-acre main campus at 7777 S. May Ave. in Oklahoma City. It serves over 23,000 learners annually across traditional students, international students (250+), concurrent-enrollment high school students, working professionals, and single-parent learners, making it Oklahoma's fourth-largest institution of higher education. The institution delivers 80+ associate degree and certificate programs, 30+ fully online programs, and 50+ micro-credentials — the latter representing the largest micro-credential catalog in Oklahoma with nearly 20,000 awards in two years.

OCCC's technology stack is anchored on standard higher-ed platforms — Moodle for learning management, Ellucian Cloud for the student portal, and a proprietary OCCC Shield safety app developed with 911 Cellular — augmented by academic technology integrations including McGraw-Hill Connect, Cengage, Turnitin, Proctorio, VoiceThread, Ally accessibility, and H5P. AI capability is delivered through a 24/7 Moodle AI chatbot and, more significantly, through a 2026 strategic partnership with AWS Machine Learning University designating OCCC as one of five national regional hub institutions for the National Center for Artificial Intelligence and Workforce Development, with a Regional AI/ML Bootcamp scheduled for June 2026.

The business model blends tuition and fees (described as among the most affordable in Oklahoma), state appropriations under Oklahoma higher-education governance, federal financial aid, grants and contracts (disclosed awards of ~$1.66M from the U.S. Department of Education plus corporate gifts from Boeing and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation), and growing non-credit workforce development revenue from employer-aligned micro-credentials with partners including Banc First, local fire departments, and film industry organizations. Distribution spans in-person enrollment at the main campus and two off-campus locations (Capitol Hill Center and FACE), self-service online enrollment, concurrent enrollment into high schools, and on-site enterprise workforce training. The institution is led by its 11th president, Dr. Mautra Staley Jones, since March 2022.
