Rose State College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Rose State College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were approximately $5,030 for Oklahoma residents at Rose State College: $3,778 in tuition plus $1,252 in required fees. The corresponding out-of-state tuition and required fees totaled approximately $11,500. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill or full cost of attendance.

• Oklahoma-resident full-time tuition and required fees, 2025-26: approximately $5,030.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition and required fees, 2025-26: approximately $11,500.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,160, separate from tuition and required fees.

Housing, food, transportation and personal expenses add to a student's budget; course-specific charges may also apply. Part-time students should compare costs by credit hour rather than using a full-time annual figure. Financial aid can reduce what a student pays, but grants, scholarships and loans work differently: grants and scholarships generally do not require repayment, while loans generally do. Eligible students can investigate federal grants, Oklahoma aid, college scholarships and veterans' education benefits through the financial aid office. In the 2024-25 data, 84% of students received some form of financial aid and 13% had student loans. Those shares describe previous students, not an applicant's eligibility. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing the resulting aid offer is the more useful way to estimate a personal cost.

What are the work-study opportunities at Rose State College?

Rose State College students can pursue part-time employment and use the college's career services to explore work opportunities. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, differs from an ordinary job: it is an aid-funded opportunity to earn wages through qualifying employment, not money automatically deducted from a tuition bill.

A student considering Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review the aid offer and ask financial aid or student employment staff how positions are posted and filled. An award does not by itself secure a job, and earnings depend on hours actually worked. The college's career services also include individual and group planning, résumé and interview preparation, job listings, job fairs and employer recruitment. Those services can support a search for work or internships without making an internship a college-wide requirement.
