Review College Costs at Oklahoma Public Colleges and Universities
College expenses vary, depending on the
type of college or university, the number of courses a student takes, a
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.
Private colleges and universities (not tax supported,
nonprofit) are generally more expensive than state colleges and universities,
so check with the institution you wish to attend for an estimate of costs.
