Ohio University-Southern Campus

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

For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Ohio University Southern was $6,362 for Ohio residents and $9,578 for nonresidents, with no separate required-fee amount reported in those figures. These are published charges, not an individual student's final bill or a complete annual cost-of-attendance estimate.

• Ohio-resident full-time tuition, 2025-26: $6,362.
• Nonresident full-time tuition, 2025-26: $9,578.
• Reported part-time charge: $284 per credit for residents and $424 per credit for nonresidents.

Students must also budget for books and supplies, transportation, food, and housing or other living expenses. A reported books-and-supplies figure is $894, but actual spending depends on courses and materials. Because Southern does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing, a room-and-board estimate should not be mistaken for a campus residence-hall price.

Financial aid can substantially change the amount paid. IPEDS 2024-25 figures indicate that 93% of students received some form of aid and 12% had student loans. Reported average net prices for students from families earning up to $48,000 and from $48,001 to $75,000 were $4,943 and $5,297, respectively. Net price is an average cost after applicable grant aid, not a quoted price for a particular applicant. Eligible students may pursue federal grants, Ohio aid, university scholarships, and federal loans by completing the FAFSA and any additional required steps; the current financial aid offer is the best basis for a personal budget.

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

Students at Ohio University Southern can look for part-time employment as well as career-development support, but a campus job is not guaranteed. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides a route to earn wages through qualifying work; it is not money automatically credited to a tuition bill.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid and student-employment offices how to find and apply for eligible positions. Other part-time jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility. Neither type of job is the same as an academic internship, which has its own program requirements.

Reported career services for Southern students include individual career counseling, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, interview workshops, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. These services can assist with exploration and applications, but they are distinct from verified employment or salary outcomes.
