The University of Tulsa reached the Top 75 private research universities in the 2027 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings. The university also ranked No. 1 for value in Oklahoma. UTulsa moved up 10 places among national universities, with gains of 16 places in engineering, 57 in computer science, 26 in business and eight among colleges for veterans. Its undergraduate petroleum engineering program remained No. 3 nationally and No. 1 in Oklahoma.
Tuition Rate Begins in 2027
UTulsa will set annual undergraduate tuition and required fees at $25,000 from fall 2027. New undergraduates will keep that rate for at least four years, and merit- and need-based aid may reduce the amount students pay.
The ranking data was collected before the university announced the new pricing structure. UTulsa said the change expands access to academic excellence.
Student Outcomes and Recognition
The university was also named No. 11 nationally for student experience by the Wall Street Journal, rated Oklahoma’s top university by WalletHub and recognized by Money magazine for the state’s highest median income for recent graduates. According to Niche.com, UTulsa bachelor’s degree recipients report a median starting salary of $58,279.
Stacy Leeds, President at The University of Tulsa, said:
“While student experience and post-graduation outcomes will always be our primary focus, these and other rankings confirm that we are a university on the rise. We are on the right track and poised for growth and more significant impact in the near and long term.”
Recognition for Campus Work
Stacy Leeds, President at The University of Tulsa, said:
“Today’s announcement highlights the outstanding achievements of our students, the dedication of our faculty and staff and the generosity of donors who provide opportunity at every turn.”
