For the 2024-25 reporting year, the listed full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $8,211 for Ohio residents: $8,105 in tuition plus $106 in fees. The corresponding nonresident total was $17,969. These are published charges before grants or scholarships, not an individual student's final bill.
A full cost-of-attendance budget can also include transportation and personal expenses. Those items matter particularly at a commuter campus, where housing and travel costs vary widely by student. Part-time per-credit charges, course materials, and program-specific expenses can produce a different total from the full-time figures.
Reported average net prices after grant aid varied by family-income band: $11,024 for families earning up to $48,000 and $12,417 for those earning $48,001-$75,000. A net price is an average for a defined group, not a quoted price or a guarantee of aid. Students should compare their own aid offer and living arrangements with the current Kent State tuition schedule.
Eligible Tuscarawas students may be able to combine coursework with part-time employment, including Federal Work-Study positions. Work-Study is need-based federal aid awarded through the financial-aid process; an award does not itself place a student in a job or pay tuition upfront.
Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and follow Kent State's student-employment process to find and apply for available positions. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility rules and need not be funded by Work-Study. Either type of job pays wages for hours worked, unlike a grant that directly reduces educational expenses.
Kent State's career resources can also support major exploration, résumé preparation, and searches for internships or jobs. An internship is an academic or professional experience with its own requirements; it should not be assumed to be paid or interchangeable with a Work-Study position.
