Ohio University-Lancaster Campus

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

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Ohio University Lancaster was $6,362 for Ohio residents and $9,578 for out-of-state students. Those tuition figures are not a complete annual cost of attendance. Part-time per-credit charges were reported at $284 for residents and $424 for nonresidents.

• Ohio resident, full-time undergraduate tuition, 2025-26: $6,362.
• Out-of-state, full-time undergraduate tuition, 2025-26: $9,578.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $894.

A personal budget must also account for housing, food, transportation, and other expenses. Lancaster does not operate undergraduate residence halls, so a housing-and-food allowance in a cost estimate should not be mistaken for a campus room-and-board charge. Tuition schedules can also differ by entry term, credit load, or program; applicants should use the current university bill estimate for their own circumstances.

Financial aid changes what many students pay. In the reported aid figures, 93% of students received financial aid, and the average grant award from federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources was $5,619. Average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was reported as $4,466. Net price is an average after grant aid, not a quoted price for a new applicant.

Eligible students may pursue federal grants and loans, Ohio aid, and university scholarships by following the current FAFSA and scholarship instructions. Veterans should also confirm how their education benefits apply to their particular program and enrollment load. An individualized aid offer is the reliable basis for comparing Lancaster with another school.

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

Lancaster students may be able to combine classes with part-time employment, including student jobs offered through Ohio University. Federal Work-Study is a need-based financial aid program; an award generally permits a student to seek an eligible job rather than placing the student in one automatically.

Students should check their aid offer for Work-Study eligibility and look at Ohio University's current student-employment listings for openings, location, pay, and scheduling requirements. Ordinary part-time campus jobs may have different eligibility rules. An internship is different again: it is a supervised learning or work experience that may carry academic credit or pay, depending on the position and program. Lancaster does not impose a universal internship requirement on all students.
