Print This PageHow Much Does College Cost?
College expenses vary, depending on the type of college or university, the number of courses a student takes, the student's major, and his or her personal lifestyle, among other factors. However, a significant expense for most college students is the cost of classes. Students pay tuition to cover costs such as professors' salaries, classroom and laboratory equipment, classroom maintenance and utility costs. Tuition at Oklahoma state colleges and universities is considerably lower than average tuition at similar institutions in other states.
Students also pay special fees in addition to tuition. Special fees include library fees, computer use fees, student activity fees and assessment fees. Some academic courses also charge fees for the use of equipment and facilities, private instruction, remedial instruction and testing/clinical services.
Independent colleges and universities are not included in the following information. Please check with the institution you wish to attend for an estimate of costs.
