July 1, 2024

It was announced last week that the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education approved requested increases in tuition for the 2024-25 school year for 11 college and universities in the state, including Southwestern Oklahoma State University.

Presidents of Oklahoma’s public colleges and universities presented their proposals for hikes in tuition and fees on Wednesday to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The regents voted to approve or deny each request on Thursday.

The average tuition increase was 1.6% for Oklahoma residents attending public institutions for higher education.

SWOSU was approved for a 2.2% increase, or $5.81 per credit hour.

By comparison, the highest request came from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College with a request for a 5.5% increase, or $9 per credit hour.

The regents rejected proposals from Eastern Central University and Rogers State University. Langston University’s proposal was partially rejected, with the 3% tuition increase approved but not the 3% increase in fees.

Oklahoma State University did not request any changes in tuition and fees and OU was approved for a 3% tuition increase.
