Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus

What is the cost of studying for a year at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?

For the 2025-26 reporting year, published full-time undergraduate tuition at Ohio University Chillicothe was $6,362 for Ohio residents and $9,578 for nonresidents. The reported required-fee amount in those figures was zero. Tuition is only part of a student's annual budget.

• Part-time tuition was reported at $284 per credit hour for Ohio residents.
• Part-time tuition was reported at $424 per credit hour for nonresidents.
• Reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $3,217, after applicable grant and scholarship aid.
• Reported average net price for students from families earning $48,001-$75,000 was $4,835.

Those net prices are averages, not bills or guaranteed aid offers. Students must also budget for books, transportation, food, and housing; costs will differ substantially between someone living at home and someone renting nearby. Do not treat an estimated living allowance as a charge for an on-campus residence hall: Chillicothe does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing.

Financial aid can change the amount due. In the 2024-25 institutional reporting, 95% of students received some form of financial aid and 18% had student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Ohio aid, and university scholarships after completing the applicable aid forms, including the FAFSA for federal assistance. An aid offer should be read by category: grants and scholarships generally do not require repayment, while loans do.

What are the work-study opportunities at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?

Chillicothe students may seek part-time employment while enrolled, but Federal Work-Study is not an automatic job assignment. It is a need-based financial aid program; eligible students still have to find and obtain an approved position, and earnings are paid through work rather than deducted automatically from tuition.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and review their Ohio University aid offer, then use the university's student-employment listings or ask the financial aid office how eligible positions are posted. Ordinary campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. For career planning, Ohio University's broader career resources can support exploration, applications, résumés, and interview preparation, but students should confirm which appointments and employer events are available remotely or at Chillicothe. An internship is different from either type of student job and is not a university-wide graduation requirement for every student.
