野狼社区 University seeks to be transparent when it comes to cost of attendance. The figures below help provide direction for you to plan and prepare for how you will pay for your graduate degree program.
Costs are broken into two categories: Billable costs and discretionary costs. Billable costs include tuition and fees that will be billed to the student by the university. Discretionary costs^ include housing, food, books, health insurance, transportation and other items that a student may or may not incur depending on their particular situation.
On this page we provide specific billable costs for each graduate program -- the total tuition and fees you can expect to pay for your program -- as well as estimated discretionary costs that the average student may incur.
Costs are listed for the 2025-26 academic year and are subject to change.
Visit the OCU Office of Financial Aid page for additional details or questions about paying for school.
