Ohio University-Southern Campus

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

Reported completion outcomes at Ohio University Southern warrant a close look alongside a student's intended degree and enrollment pattern. IPEDS 2024-25 figures show an overall graduation rate of 21%, while the reported four-year and six-year rates are 14% and 16%, respectively.

These measures can refer to different entering cohorts and measurement rules; they should not be read as successive checkpoints for one identical group of students. Federal graduation-rate measures also focus on defined first-time, full-time cohorts and do not describe every transfer student or part-time adult learner. The reported student retention rate is 54%, another measure worth discussing with an adviser when planning a course sequence.

For an individual applicant, a more useful next question is whether required courses in the chosen program are offered often enough to support the planned completion date, particularly if work or family commitments limit enrollment to part time.

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

College Scorecard one-year earnings figures can help compare fields of study, but they do not predict what an Ohio University Southern student will earn. Reported examples for Ohio University fields include $62,995 for registered nursing, $42,385 for business administration and management, and $31,656 for liberal arts and sciences.

These are program-level, one-year-after-completion earnings measures for graduates represented in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or campus-specific guarantees. They should not be interpreted as earnings for Southern graduates alone, and the availability of an earnings figure does not establish that the corresponding degree can be completed in Ironton. Earnings also vary with occupation, location, experience, further study, and which graduates are included in the measure. Compare the exact credential and program - not just the subject name - before using a figure to evaluate a degree.
