Welcome to Oklahoma State University!

Our land-grant mission sets us apart as a nationally leading, top-tier research institution. We put our students front and center in everything we do and work to improve the lives of all Oklahomans while delivering a quality education to set you up for success. For the fourth straight year, OSU has had no increase in tuition or mandatory academic fees, making a brighter future accessible to anyone who dreams of earning a degree. 

As a member of the Cowboy family, you are part of a creative, innovative and collaborative learning environment that will prepare you to use your knowledge and hands-on experience to make a difference in the world. We live by the Cowboy Code: doing what’s right, even when it’s hard; finishing what we start; and dreaming big. It’s a foundation for success during your time at OSU and beyond. 

With more than 500 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as certificates and professional degree programs in medicine and veterinary medicine, OSU provides outstanding choice and value at a comprehensive research university. And, our veterinary medicine program is poised to become a leader in the nation. OSU recently received a historic $250 million state funding appropriation to support the construction of a new, state-of-the-art veterinary teaching hospital. This critical investment — the largest state appropriation in university history — combined with $78 million allocated in 2023, marks a significant step forward in advancing the future of veterinary education, food security and public health in Oklahoma.

The depth and breadth of our programs and the global impact of our efforts are significant. But what separates OSU graduates from those of other institutions is their character and determination to make a difference in their communities, across our state and around the world. 

Once again, welcome to Oklahoma State University. Go Pokes!

Dr. Jim Hess, Oklahoma State University President
