Finance and Financial Management Services at University of Tulsa

University of Tulsa's finance program punches well above its weight nationally, placing graduates in the 88th percentile for earnings—roughly $11,000 above the national median. First-year graduates earn $65,012, climbing to nearly $74,000 by year four, solid growth that suggests strong employer relationships and career development. The $20,250 median debt translates to a manageable 0.31 ratio against first-year earnings, notably lower than both national and state typical debt loads for this major.

Within Oklahoma, the picture becomes more competitive. While this program essentially matches the University of Oklahoma's graduate earnings, it ranks in the 60th percentile statewide—respectable but not dominant in a state with only 12 programs. Oklahoma State graduates earn about $9,000 less annually, suggesting Tulsa holds its position among the state's top-tier options. The moderate sample size (30-100 graduates) is large enough to be meaningful but small enough that individual cohorts could vary.

For families considering finance programs, this represents a strong value proposition: graduates enter lucrative positions quickly with manageable debt, and the 14% earnings growth shows career momentum rather than stagnation. The admission selectivity and relatively low Pell Grant percentage suggest peers will be academically serious, which matters in finance recruiting where networks drive opportunities.
