Frequently Asked Questions

What accounts for the massive cost difference between Oklahoma's cheapest and most expensive business programs?

The gap reaches $18,284 between University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma at $8,543 and Oklahoma Wesleyan University at $26,827. Public funding allows USAO to keep costs low, while private institutions rely on tuition revenue and often provide less financial aid relative to their higher sticker prices.

How do graduation rates correlate with program costs in Oklahoma business schools?

Higher-priced programs generally show better graduation outcomes, with University of Tulsa leading at 73.3% despite its $23,678 net cost. However, Randall University breaks this pattern with only 20.5% graduation rate at $16,474, while Oklahoma Christian achieves 55.2% graduation rate for $21,423.

Does Oklahoma's Promise scholarship program affect these business program costs?

Oklahoma's Promise covers full tuition for qualifying students with family incomes under $60,000, which can eliminate tuition costs at public institutions like USAO. This makes the already affordable $9,000 in-state tuition potentially free, though the program doesn't cover private school tuition at institutions like Oklahoma City University.
