About This School
Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus is a public institution located in Chillicothe, Ohio with approximately 833 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,755 per year. The graduation rate is 14%, and the typical graduate earns $45,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
This campus is a strong fit for students who need an affordable, close-to-home option to start a college path — particularly working adults, first-generation students, or those balancing family responsibilities who simply can't pick up and move away. At just $5,755 per year in net cost, it's genuinely one of the more affordable ways to access an Ohio University degree, and the median debt at graduation of $21,056 is manageable relative to the median earnings of $45,800 ten years out. That said, the 14% graduation rate is a serious concern that you cannot ignore — it signals that the large majority of students who start here do not finish, which is a pattern worth understanding before committing. Ask the admissions office directly what support systems exist for students who are juggling work and school, because the low retention and graduation numbers suggest many students struggle to stay enrolled. If you choose this school, go in with a concrete plan: know your schedule, connect with an advisor in the first week, and treat the low cost as an opportunity — not a reason to be casual about finishing.
