*This estimate includes tuition and mandatory hourly fees for 30 credit hours per academic year, reflecting a typical undergraduate course load and OU’s flat-rate tuition policy. Under the flat-rate policy, students registered for 12 or more hours will be charged a flat rate based on the current 15-credit-hour rate for tuition and mandatory hourly fees. College program and technology fees are charged at a per-credit-hour rate. For comparison, some public universities calculate annual tuition estimates using the minimum full-time enrollment requirement of 24 credit hours per academic year. **International undergraduate fees include $9,971(MX$171,198.01) in mandatory fees and the annual International Student Maintenance Fee of $154 (MX $2,644.12).
Every student has a representative at OU to help you explore academic options and answer your questions. OU came at the time I needed it the most! In every step from my application process Heather Arnett Senior Assistant Director
and on, OU made me feel important and looked after. Everything improved once I made it to campus. I found a place to call home (even away from home). The people and community were the best component of my OU journey. When I first arrived on campus I was scared, but that helped me discover a lot about myself and who I am. Attending OU was the best decision!”
