Southeastern Oklahoma State University

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

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $7,200 for Oklahoma residents and $16,410 for nonresidents. Those figures combine the tuition and mandatory-fee amounts for each residency category; they are not complete cost-of-attendance estimates.

• Oklahoma-resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: about $7,200 for the academic year.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: about $16,410 for the academic year.
• Reported room and board: about $7,440 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: about $1,000 for the academic year.

Adding the listed 2024-25 amounts produces a subtotal of about $15,640 for a resident living with the reported room-and-board arrangement, or $24,850 for a nonresident. Neither subtotal includes transportation, personal spending, or every possible program charge, so neither should be mistaken for an official individual aid budget. Commuters and online students can face different living expenses and fees. Graduate rates and flight-training charges also require separate review.

Financial aid can change what a student pays. Reported average net prices - cost after grant and scholarship aid for the students included in the measure - were about $6,333 for families with annual incomes up to $48,000 and $8,247 for those in the next income band, through $75,000. Averages are not individual awards. Eligible students may pursue federal grants and loans, Oklahoma aid, institutional scholarships, and applicable military education benefits; completing the FAFSA is the starting point for federal aid consideration. Comparing an individual aid offer with a current, program-specific cost estimate is more useful than subtracting an average grant from the published price.

What are the work-study opportunities at Southeastern Oklahoma State University?

Southeastern students can look for part-time work while enrolled and use campus career services to explore internships and longer-term employment. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, is a form of earned aid: students are paid for hours worked rather than receiving the full award as an upfront tuition discount.

Work-Study eligibility generally depends on the FAFSA, financial need, and available funding. A student who is not offered Work-Study may still be able to apply for other campus or local jobs. In either case, an aid award does not itself secure a position; students need to review openings, apply, and meet the employer's requirements.

For career planning, Southeastern reports offering individual and group counseling, career-interest assessment, résumé preparation, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can support a search, but an internship is not required of every student and a job offer is not guaranteed. Students seeking experience related to a major should ask the department whether internships carry academic credit and how placements are approved.
