Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus

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

Reported completion figures for Ohio University Chillicothe are low: the institutional data lists an overall graduation rate of 14%, a four-year rate of 9%, and a six-year rate of 12%. These figures should not be added together or interpreted as successive results for one identical group of students.

Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students. They can leave out many transfer students and students who begin part time, and a student who transfers elsewhere may not count as a graduate of the original campus. The reported student retention rate is 67%, a different measure concerned with continued enrollment rather than degree completion. For an individual applicant, the most useful follow-up questions concern the intended program: which required courses run in Chillicothe, how often they are offered, and whether finishing the credential requires a campus change.

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

Earnings figures associated with Ohio University fields of study are not reliable estimates of what an individual Chillicothe graduate will earn. College Scorecard field-of-study data describes earnings for qualifying former students after completion, generally using a median for the measured group; it does not establish that those students studied at the Chillicothe campus.

For illustration, the reported one-year figure for registered nursing is $62,995, while the figure for business administration and management is $42,385. These are different fields with different employment and further-study patterns, not a comparison of instructional quality. Federal earnings measures cover a defined population and may suppress results for small groups. Pay also varies with location, occupation, hours worked, experience, and additional credentials. Students evaluating a Chillicothe program should first confirm that the credential represented by any earnings figure is actually available through their intended campus pathway.
