What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Northwestern Ohio?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at UNOH was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Tuition plus required fees was $13,366 for the academic year, before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $12,020.
  • Required undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $1,346.
  • Combined undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $13,366.
  • Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $280 per credit hour.

The combined figure is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate. A student living on campus will need to account for housing and meals; a commuter may spend more on transportation. Books, tools, or other required supplies can also vary by program, making a personalized estimate especially important for technical majors. The listed part-time rate should not be multiplied into a full-time estimate without checking how the university bills that enrollment level.

Aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays, but not all aid reduces the price permanently: loans must generally be repaid. For families with annual income of $0-48,000, the reported average net price was $16,997; for those with income of $48,001-75,000, it was $20,391. Net price is an average after grant aid and is not a quote for any particular family.

Financial aid reporting shows that 94% of students received some form of aid, while 58% had student loans. Eligible students may consider federal grants and loans, applicable state aid, institutional scholarships, and veterans or military education benefits. Applicants should complete the FAFSA and review their actual aid offer, including which awards are grants and which are loans, before comparing UNOH with another college.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Northwestern Ohio?

Students looking for paid work should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package and supported by an available position, provides wages for hours worked; it is not a grant automatically credited against the tuition bill.

Students interested in campus employment should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study and where UNOH posts available positions. They should also confirm expected hours and whether a job can fit around labs or other scheduled training. A student without Work-Study eligibility may still be able to apply for ordinary part-time work, subject to employer hiring decisions.

UNOH's career services provide a separate form of support, including résumé preparation, interview workshops, employer recruitment, and job-search resources. Those services can help with internships and later employment, but using them is not the same as holding a paid student job.
