USAO keeps tuition, fees flat for coming academic year
The University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma has announced it will not increase tuition or fees for the 2024-25 academic year, maintaining its commitment to providing an accessible and affordable education for all.
On average, an Oklahoma resident enrolled in 15 credit hours can expect to pay $4,140 per trimester in tuition and fees.
“USAO has continuously been recognized for providing a high-quality education at an affordable price,” said President Kayla Hale. “With our enrollment numbers steadily increasing over the past few years, it's clear that more students in Oklahoma recognize the value of the kind of education we provide. We are committed to maintaining this affordability to ensure that every student has access to our programs without facing a financial burden.”
Institutions within the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education are required to offer first time full-time Oklahoma resident students a tuition rate that will be guaranteed for at least four academic years. At the time of enrollment students can choose whether to participate in the guaranteed rate, which is slightly higher than the rate set for the fiscal year. For fall 2024, students enrolled in 15 credit hours who opt to pay the guaranteed rate will accrue $4,635 per trimester in tuition and fees.
Known for its small class sizes and close working relationships between students and faculty, USAO is continuously recognized for quality and value. Since 2022, U.S. News and World Report has ranked USAO in the top 20 of top public schools - national liberal arts colleges. This category includes numerous prestigious institutions including the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Air Force Academy. USAO is also ranked #7 on Great Value College’s 100 Most Affordable Small Colleges West of the Mississippi list.
