Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of Tulsa increased from 33 to 39 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 30 OK 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Tulsa is larger than 72% and safer-reporting than 3% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Tulsa rose from 33 to 39 (+18%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (10 to 24) and Fondling (1 to 4). Falling over the same period: Rape (12 to 4), Aggravated Assault (2 to 0) and Burglary (8 to 7).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at University of Tulsa
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Rape, Fondling and Aggravated Assault.
The remaining 6 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where University of Tulsa sits on price and outcomes
At $15,000, University of Tulsa's reported average net price is cheaper than 63% among 84 Oklahoma colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $12,710.
- $15,000
- average net price
- $12,710
- Oklahoma median
- 2.5×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $19,895
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $5,578, while those above $110,000 record $25,473 - roughly 4.6 times as much. A published average of $15,000 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $54,779, roughly 3.7 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
