Application Procedures & Estimated Fees

A complete application consists of the following:

1) A complete application form with a passport photograph and copy of passport ID pages, if available. Or fill out the online application.

2) Certified copies of all academic records. The term "certified copies" refers to academic records issued by your previous school(s) with an official school seal or stamp on the document. It should not be a copy "issued to the student."

3) Statement of financial support. This statement should show support of at least US $29,900 for undergraduate studies, $31,660 for undergraduate music majors, $30,706 for first year Bachelor of Nursing program, $23,812 for graduate studies, $25,072 for Master in Music studies, and $28,000 for Master of Nursing program over a nine-month period. If any dependants are accompanying the applicant to the United States, an additional amount of $2,000 per year must be shown for the support of the spouse and $1,000 for each child.

4) All applicants whose native language is not English MUST take the TOEFL. You must have a score of 500 or better for general admission (173 on computer-based test) or a 6.0 overall and 5.5 on each band score of the I.E.L.T.S. (A few degree programs have higher requirements). If you do not have a TOEFL score of at least 500, you may plan to attend the ELS Language Center on Campus. Completion of level 109 is acceptable for most degree programs.

5. For MBA only: NEW REQUIREMENT beginning Fall 2007 term: Your admission is conditional for GMAT score. All MBA students are required to submit a GMAT score. The score requirement will vary depending on your final undergraduate GPA. Oklahoma City University uses the following formula to determine whether you meet the 950 minimum score requirement: GMAT + GPA x 200 >= 950. For example: 450 (GMAT) + 3.0 (GPA) x 200 = 1050

6. OCU Cost Information (April 2007- April 2008) Updated: April 1, 2007

As is true with most costs everywhere, please be aware that the costs shown below may be subject to change.

The estimation below is based on one semester enrollment. All international students in F-1 status are required by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to be enrolled full-time during Fall and Spring semesters (minimum of 12 credit hours for undergraduate students and 9 credit hours for graduate students). There is no minimum enrollment required during summer sessions. OCU tuition rates are the same for all students (U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and international students). All tuition, fees, and campus housing payments are due at the beginning of each semester.

There is a one-time non-refundable application fee of $70 that should be submitted at the time of application to the university.
