About This School
Ohio University-Eastern Campus is a public institution located in Saint Clairsville, Ohio with approximately 298 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,925 per year. The graduation rate is 21%, and the typical graduate earns $45,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
For a student who needs an extremely affordable on-ramp to a college degree — particularly one balancing work, family, or financial constraints — this small regional campus has one genuinely compelling advantage: at just $3,925 per year after aid, it's one of the most affordable public options you'll find anywhere. That low cost matters, especially since median debt at graduation sits around $21,056, which is manageable against median earnings of $45,800 ten years out. That said, the numbers that should give you pause are the 21% graduation rate and 63% freshman retention rate — most students who start here don't finish, which is a pattern worth taking seriously, not dismissing. Before enrolling, I'd want to sit down with this family and honestly ask whether the support structures at home, work, and on campus are in place to beat those odds. If a student is committed and has a clear plan — especially if they're transferring credits toward an Ohio University degree — this can be a smart, low-risk entry point; but go in with eyes open and a concrete finish line in mind.
