James A. Rhodes State College

What is the cost of studying for a year at James A. Rhodes State College?

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $4,560 for Ohio residents and $9,192 for out-of-state students. The reported part-time rates were $190 and $380 per credit hour, respectively. These are tuition figures, not complete estimates of what it costs to attend for a year.

Students also need to budget for books and supplies, transportation, living expenses, and any costs tied to a particular course or clinical program. Rhodes State does not operate college-owned undergraduate housing, so a student's housing budget will depend on their own circumstances. A personalized cost-of-attendance estimate from financial aid is more useful than adding a generic room charge to tuition.

Financial aid can change the amount a student ultimately pays. In the 2024-25 figures, 62% of students received financial aid and 8% had student loans; those percentages do not predict an individual award. Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, Ohio assistance, and college scholarships by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and any additional scholarship steps. For families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $7,850. Net price is an average cost after grant aid, not a quoted bill or a guarantee of eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at James A. Rhodes State College?

Rhodes State students can use career services for help exploring occupations and looking for work. Reported services include individual career counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job listings, job fairs, and employer connections. These services support a search; they are not verified job offers.

A paid campus job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through approved work rather than a grant paid upfront. Students interested in it should complete the FAFSA and ask financial-aid staff how eligibility and available positions are handled. For ordinary part-time jobs or career-related experience, the career center and program faculty may be more relevant starting points. Not every Rhodes State program requires an internship.
