The University of Tulsa charges the same published undergraduate tuition to in-state and out-of-state students. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $48,340, with $1,206 in required fees. Typical room and board charges were $15,164 for the academic year.
That combined figure is a published-cost calculation, not an individual aid offer or a complete cost of attendance. Housing choices and meal plans can change the bill. Part-time undergraduates were charged a reported $1,611 per credit hour, while graduate tuition and fees followed a different schedule.
Aid can substantially change what a student pays. The reported average grant aid awarded to undergraduate grant recipients was $41,196, but an average is not an entitlement. Reported average net prices - cost after applicable grant and scholarship aid - were $8,616 for students from families with incomes up to $48,000 and $25,473 for those above $110,000. Those are group averages, not quotes for a new applicant.
Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, and university scholarships by completing the required financial aid applications and meeting relevant deadlines. The reported share receiving some form of financial aid was 100%, while about 33% had student loans; "financial aid" can include assistance that must be repaid. Veterans and eligible dependents should have the university's veterans benefits staff review how their education benefits interact with other aid. The most useful comparison is each school's current, itemized aid offer alongside its full estimated annual expenses.
University of Tulsa students can pursue part-time employment and use career services while enrolled. Campus jobs and Federal Work-Study are not identical: Work-Study is need-based federal aid earned through an eligible job, while other student positions may be paid without a Work-Study award.
Students seeking Federal Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer for eligibility, and then apply for available positions; an award does not itself place a student in a job. For any position, applicants should check expected hours, pay, and whether work is available during breaks. Internships may offer career experience but have separate academic and compensation rules.
Career support includes individual and group planning, résumé preparation, interview workshops, career-interest assessment, job listings, fairs, and employer recruitment. Students can use those services to explore a major or prepare for an internship as well as to search for a postgraduation job. They should distinguish access to advising and employer events from a verified employment outcome.
