Costs & Financial Aid

Tuition

For the 2011-2012 academic year, tuition for the Graduate School of Engineering is $475 per credit hour.  The MSE degree is made up of 30 hours.  The tuition covers the cost of a MacBook computer with MacOS and Windows 7 software.  Students who graduate from the program and have covered the entire cost of the laptop may keep it after leaving OC.

Effective Fall 2012, OC will not charge any fees for its academic programs.  This means that 2012-2013 tuition for the Master of Science in Engineering program will remain $475 per credit hour.  

Please read OC's Financial Policy for Graduate Students here.

Graduate Assistantships

A limited number of teaching and research assistantships are available for full-time graduate students.  These assistantships result in stipends and/or reduced tuition.  After an application has been submitted, a student may request to be considered for an assistantship. 

Graduate Assistants have been selected for the 2012-2013 academic year.  Applications for the 2013-2014 academic year will be available in Spring of 2013. 

Financial Aid

To apply for federal financial aid, students should follow these steps:

  1. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Once the FAFSA has been submitted, the student's information will be forwarded to the Office of Financial Services at Oklahoma Christian University.
  2. Students must then complete the MSE Student Data Form and return it to the Office of Financial Services.
  3. Once OC has received your FAFSA information, we may need additional paperwork, such as an Independent Verification Worksheet, your signed federal tax return, or an Asset Information Worksheet.  We will contact you if we need more paperwork.
  4. After all of your paperwork is complete, the Office of Financial Services will determine your eligibility for financial aid.  We will then send you an award letter.
  5. If you are a first-time borrower at Oklahoma Christian University, you will also need to complete a loan entrance interview before borrowing a Stafford Loan.
  6. When you receive your award letter, we will notify you with instructions on how to complete the loan application.
