Oklahoma State and 12 other Schools Leave Tuition Unchanged for the Coming Academic Year |
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education today set tuition and mandatory fee levels for Oklahoma’s public colleges and universities. Tuition and mandatory fees for resident undergraduate students in 2023-24 will not increase at 13 institutions across the state system of higher education. For in-state undergraduate students, tuition and mandatory fees will increase an average of 1.5% statewide for the 2023-24 academic year.
“Keeping higher education affordable for the students we serve is a responsibility the State Regents take very seriously,” said State Regents’ chair Michael C. Turpen. “Oklahomans are impacted by inflation and other economic challenges, and the State Regents work to balance their needs with the operating requirements of our colleges and universities, who must maintain academic quality and student support services to continue building our state’s educated workforce.”
On average, a full-time Oklahoma undergraduate college student will pay $97.20 more for tuition and mandatory fees in 2023-24.
“Our top priority as a state system is strengthening Oklahoma’s workforce while empowering individual Oklahomans to achieve their dreams,” said Chancellor Allison D. Garrett. “Our higher education institutions are working to implement the bold goals outlined in Blueprint 2030, our new strategic plan. Oklahoma’s public colleges and universities remain among the most affordable in the nation.”

Since the legalization of Medical Marijuana in Oklahoma with State Question 788- criminals have flocked to the state to set up illegal grow houses because of cheap permits, cheap land and lax rules allowing them to get into the business of growing marijuana in Oklahoma- supposedly for the in state Medical Marijuana market.
Ron Hays talks with Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman Mark Woodward about how these enterprises have invaded Oklahoma- the magnitude of the current problem and how the state is pushing back on thousands of bad people who have set up shop in the state- with the hope to reduce the number of these operations dramatically in the days to come. It's a huge problem all across rural Oklahoma but Woodward believes progress is being made to reign in these illegal marijuana farms.
