About this number: Applicants admitted

Admission offers divided by applications for the reported pool. Applicant characteristics and campus scope vary; this does not predict an individual decision.

This is the school’s budget before financial aid. It is not a bill, the federal average net price, or your own aid offer.

About this budget
  • The school labels these figures 2026–27.
  • ICP’s independent audit re-checked this total and some of its lines on the school’s page.
  • Source: Cost of Attendance (University of Oklahoma Student Financial Center) (University of Oklahoma). Researched October 21, 2026; independently audited October 22, 2026.

Research notes: 30 credit hours; flat-rate tuition covers 12-21 hours (15 base).

Understand the five kinds of college costs
Tuition & fees
Instruction and required college fees; living costs are additional unless explicitly included.
Attendance budget
College charges plus estimated living, books, travel and other included expenses, before aid.
Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
A historical average after federal, state/local and college grant aid for a specified federal-aid population. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted; loans and work-study are not discounts.
Your net cost
Your entered attendance cost minus selected grants and scholarships. Loans and work-study remain funding sources.
Borrowing
Debt to repay, not a discount. Work-study is earned over time, not an upfront bill reduction.

Average annual cost after grants & scholarships · in-state

$15,531

2024–25

Includes applicable federal, state/local and college grants and scholarships. First-time, full-time in-state students receiving federal financial aid form the reporting population. The attendance budget includes estimated living expenses. Your actual cost may differ.

About this number: Average annual cost after grants & scholarships · in-state

Federal average net price subtracts qualifying federal, state/local and institutional grants and scholarships from the source-defined attendance budget. Federal aid defines the reporting population, not the only aid deducted; some included students receive federal loans or work-study but no grants. This is a historical average, not a personalized award. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted. The public-college population pays in-state tuition. It is not a personal offer; loans and work-study are not discounts.
