U of O Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

As of the 2019-2020 school year, the sticker price of attendance at the University of Oregon was $28,764. The “sticker price” consists of tuition (in- or out-of-state, which differs for public schools), books, supplies, room and board, and other fees. The in-state tuition was around $12,700 and out-of-state students paid around $36,600.

However, students and their families may not have to worry about paying the full cost. This university, like other colleges and universities, offers access to financial aid. The average net price for all students in the 2018-2019 year was $16,080. The university tracks how much students end up owing based on their family’s annual income. This is the net price by income. In the same academic year, families who earned between $48,001 and $75,000 paid $15,109.

Students who fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and prove their financial need received this help from the university. Just over 75% of first-year students qualified for aid and 62% received grants or scholarships of $9,946. Slightly fewer (59%) received institutional grants and scholarships of $7,060.

Academics

Incoming students may want to get their hands on a few statistics. This allows them and their parents to know how the University of Oregon rates for its academics. One of the first statistics you might find is the retention rate. Here, it is 86%, which is particularly high. This measures the percentage of first-year students who return for their second year of school and, therefore, are believed to find that the school offers everything they need to succeed.

The next statistic is the 4-year graduation rate, which is 56% within the normal time frame, though the 6-year graduation rate is 74%. Since the average graduation rate nationally is in the 60s, this evens out to be about average overall.

It happens more often than students may want to experience that they have a time conflict with an on-campus or off-campus job. They may have chosen a required class that meets on set days and times. Just before or when that class starts, they may realize the class time conflicts with their working hours. These classes may even be required for graduation.

The university has one option students can make use of - distance learning. Evening classes aren’t offered, but some online courses are available for students who are experiencing a time crunch and need a little flexibility.

The five most popular degree programs offered are social sciences; business, management, marketing and related support services; communication, journalism and related programs; biological and biomedical sciences; and visual and performing arts.
