Ohio University-Zanesville Campus

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

For 2025-26, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Ohio University-Zanesville is $6,362 for Ohio residents and $9,578 for nonresidents. Reported general required fees are $0 for both groups, but that does not rule out course-specific, program, or other individual charges. The reported part-time tuition rates are $284 per credit for residents and $424 per credit for nonresidents.

Tuition is only part of the annual budget. Books and supplies have a reported median cost of $894. Students may also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses even though the campus does not operate undergraduate housing. A quoted room-and-board allowance should not be mistaken for the price of a Zanesville residence hall or meal plan.

Financial aid can make the amount a student pays substantially different from the published price. In the 2024-25 figures, 93% of students received financial aid, while 14% had student loans; aid recipients and borrowers are not interchangeable groups. The reported average undergraduate grant award from all sources was $5,878. For federally aided students in families with annual income of $48,000 or less, the reported average net price was $3,163. Net price means estimated attendance cost after grants and scholarships, not necessarily the amount due on a tuition bill.

Eligible students can seek federal aid through the FAFSA, along with applicable Ohio grants and Ohio University scholarships. A current, personalized aid offer and cost-of-attendance estimate are more useful for budgeting than applying an average net price to one household.

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

Zanesville students can look for part-time student jobs and, if eligible, Federal Work-Study positions through Ohio University's student employment resources. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through an eligible job; it is not a grant paid automatically or a guaranteed job assignment.

Students generally indicate interest in work-study through the FAFSA and must still apply for available positions. Ordinary campus jobs may have different funding and eligibility rules. In either case, wages depend on hours worked, so students should not subtract an entire possible work-study award from a bill as though it were an upfront tuition discount.

For career development beyond part-time employment, students can use applicable Ohio University career resources for exploring majors, preparing application materials, and finding internships or jobs. Availability of a particular adviser, employer event, or position on the Zanesville campus should be confirmed before relying on it in a career plan. The institution does not require an internship of every student, although an individual major may have experiential requirements.
