Oklahoma Baptist University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Oklahoma Baptist University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $31,700, with $3,870 in required fees, for $35,570 in tuition and mandatory fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. These are published prices before scholarships or grants.

• Tuition and required fees: $35,570 for a full-time undergraduate year.
• Reported room and board charge: $8,930 for an academic year.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $910.

Together, those reported components total $45,410. That is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance estimate: transportation, personal expenses and individual course or program costs can increase the budget. A student living off campus should substitute a realistic local housing and food budget rather than add an on-campus room-and-board charge they will not incur. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,030 per credit hour; graduate pricing follows a different schedule.

Aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays. In the reported aid figures, the average grant award to undergraduate recipients was $26,362, but an average is not an offer to every applicant. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $17,103 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $26,102 for those above $110,000. Net price is a historical average after grant aid, not a personalized quote.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, state aid, and OBU scholarships by completing the required financial-aid applications and meeting applicable deadlines. Military education benefits may be another funding source for eligible students. Compare an actual aid offer against the university's current cost-of-attendance budget, separating grants from loans and work earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Oklahoma Baptist University?

OBU students can pursue part-time employment alongside their studies, and some may qualify for Federal Work-Study through financial aid. Federal Work-Study is earned wages from an eligible job, not a grant credited in full to a tuition bill and not a guarantee that a position will be available.

Work-Study eligibility generally depends on financial need and the student's aid application. Students should ask the financial aid office how OBU lists eligible openings, whether ordinary campus jobs are open to students without Work-Study, and when hiring begins. For career-related experience, the university's career services also report employer recruitment, job fairs, résumé help and individual planning. An internship may provide academic credit, pay, both or neither; OBU does not report a university-wide internship requirement for every student.
