Kent State University at Geauga

What is the cost of studying for a year at Kent State University at Geauga?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Kent State University at Geauga totaled approximately $8,211 for Ohio residents and $17,969 for nonresidents. Each total combines reported tuition with $106 in required fees; it does not include living costs, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

• Ohio-resident full-time undergraduate tuition: $8,105, plus $106 in required fees.
• Nonresident full-time undergraduate tuition: $17,863, plus $106 in required fees.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $360 per credit for Ohio residents or $742 per credit for nonresidents.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $800.

Part-time per-credit charges are not an additional amount to add to the full-time annual tuition figures. Students should use the rate and fee schedule for their actual enrollment level, residency classification, program, and academic year. A commuter also needs a realistic budget for travel and for housing and food, even though the campus does not operate undergraduate residence halls.

Published tuition is different from net price, which estimates cost after grant and scholarship aid for a defined group of students. In the reported data, average net price was $9,649 for students from families with annual income up to $48,000 and $13,301 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. Those averages include expenses beyond tuition and are not individualized aid offers.

Federal and state grants, Kent State scholarships, loans, and eligible military education benefits may affect a student's final bill and out-of-pocket costs. In 2024-25, 81% of students received some form of financial aid, while 30% had student loans; the reported average undergraduate grant award from combined sources was $5,039. Applicants seeking need-based aid should complete the FAFSA and check Kent State's current scholarship instructions and priority dates. Because loans must generally be repaid, an aid package is not the same as a discount of its full stated amount.

What are the work-study opportunities at Kent State University at Geauga?

Geauga students may pursue part-time employment while studying, including positions made available through Kent State's student-employment processes. Federal Work-Study is a specific need-based financial-aid program, not a guarantee that a student will be assigned a job.

Work-Study eligibility is determined through financial-aid rules, typically beginning with the FAFSA. An eligible student still has to find and secure a qualifying position and earn wages by working; the award is not normally credited in full to the tuition bill at the start of the term. Other campus or community jobs may be open to students without a Work-Study award and follow different funding rules.

Kent State's wider career-development resources can support major exploration, job searches, application materials, interview preparation, and connections with employers or alumni. An internship is not required of every student, though a particular major may have experiential requirements. Students interested in a career-related job should check both the student-employment listings and their academic program's internship procedures.
