Eastern Oklahoma State College has announced its decision to maintain its current tuition rates for the upcoming academic year, marking the fifth consecutive year without a tuition increase. With this commitment, Eastern reaffirmed its dedication to providing accessible and affordable higher education opportunities to students across the region.

Eastern President Dr. Janet Wansick noted that over the years, Eastern has made considerable efforts to ensure that the cost of a college degree remains within reach for students. Eastern’s last tuition increase, a modest 4.3 percent, occurred during the 2020-2021 academic year. The current tuition and mandatory fee rate is $158.90 per credit hour. This rate has remained unchanged since Wansick assumed her presidency, reinforcing Eastern’s commitment to provide student access to higher education.

“Our top priority is helping students reach their educational goals,” said President Janet Wansick. “We recognize the financial pressures many of our students face, and by holding tuition steady for the fifth consecutive year, we aim to ease that burden and keep college accessible. I’m proud that during my time at Eastern, we haven’t increased tuition and have even reduced some fees. Our commitment remains focused on supporting our students every step of the way and helping them realize their full potential.”  

Under Wansick's leadership, Eastern has implemented numerous initiatives to support student success, support faculty and staff, and enhance the overall college experience. These efforts include expanding scholarship opportunities, investing in academic resources and housing facilities, and providing comprehensive support services. By prioritizing these initiatives, Eastern aims to create a dynamic learning environment that empowers students to excel both academically and personally.
