Detailed Tuition and Cost

A Spirit-empowered degree from ORU is life-changing and worth the investment. Use the direct and indirect costs listed on this page to start planning your educational budget while we partner with you to discuss the many pathways to consider in financing your degree. When reviewing the information below, remember:

Direct Costs + Indirect Costs - Financial Aid = Educational Budget


Direct Costs

Tuition + Housing + Food + Fees = Direct Costs

Keep in mind, that most of our undergraduate students benefit from scholarships, federal assistance and our interest-free payment plans, which can greatly help you reduce the need to borrow. We’d love to help you create a financial plan. 

Fall and Spring Semester 

2024-2025

Tuition $33,800
Housing* $4,560
Food* $5,400
General Fee $1,240
Technology Fee $430
Total Estimated Direct Cost $45,430

*The financial aid budgeted amount for Housing and Food is based on the cost of a meal plan with a standard double room. Your actual cost may change depending on the room type you select. 

As a full-time residential student, you can save during the fall and spring semesters through our block tuition. Block tuition means you pay one flat rate per semester for a course load between 12–18.5 credit hours.
