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.
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.
