The OSU/A&M Board of Regents approved a $1.4 billion operating budget for the Oklahoma State University system for fiscal year 2020  June 14 meeting on the OSU-Oklahoma City campus.

There will be no increase in tuition or mandatory fees for OSU’s main campus in Stillwater or branches in Tulsa and Okmulgee because of the increased state support. 

Here are tuition and mandatory fee percentage and dollar increases at these OSU A&M System campuses for the fall 2020 academic year ( based on 30 credit hours for undergraduate rates and 24 credit hours for graduate students):

OSU-OKC

• Oklahoma residents – 3 percent ($135 annually)
• Non-residents – 3 percent ($353 annually)

Center for Health Sciences

• Graduate Oklahoma residents – 8.3 percent ($523 annually)
• Graduate non-residents – 2.4 percent ($523 annually)
• Professional Oklahoma residents – 1.7 percent ($484 annually)
• Professional non-residents – 0.9 percent ($484 annually)

The regents targeted competitive faculty salaries, student recruitment and success, classroom usage and research programs.

The Regents commended Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and the state legislature for increasing state funding for higher education. OSU’s general university campus budget reflects a $3 million increase for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1.

Dr. Pamela Fry was named president of Oklahoma State University-Tulsa.  She has been the provost and vice president for academic affairs at the Tulsa campus since 2016. Fry is the third person and first woman to lead OSU-Tulsa since it was founded in 1999. She succeeds Howard Barnett Jr., who announced in January he was stepping down to become president emeritus and will now focus on external university issues like legislative matters and fundraising.

Her job as president of OSU-Tulsa begins July 1.
