What are the graduation rates for students at Ohio State University-Lima Campus?

Reported IPEDS outcomes for Ohio State Lima show an overall graduation rate of 23%, a four-year rate of 7%, and a six-year rate of 14%. Its reported student-retention rate is 42%.

These figures require particular care at a regional campus. Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined groups of entering students and count completion under specified rules; students who leave Lima to continue elsewhere in Ohio State may not be represented in a campus-level completion figure the way a reader expects. The rates are therefore useful questions to raise about student pathways, but they are not a direct measure of every Lima entrant's eventual Ohio State outcome. Applicants considering a campus change should ask for outcomes that track that pathway, along with the requirements and likely timeline for their chosen major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ohio State University-Lima Campus?

One-year-after-completion field-of-study earnings figures associated with the reported College Scorecard data vary substantially by subject. Examples include $37,208 for business/commerce, $30,355 for psychology, and $27,536 for English language and literature.

These are reported outcomes for the students represented in each field's data, not starting-salary offers or forecasts for a Lima student. Fields may involve different credential levels, occupations, locations, and numbers of students, and institution-level program reporting should not be treated as a verified Lima-only graduate salary. A one-year measure also says little about later earnings or whether graduates entered their intended profession. Students comparing majors should consider program costs, graduate-school requirements, and the kinds of jobs available alongside any earnings figure.
