About This School
Owens Community College is a public institution located in Perrysburg, Ohio with approximately 4,361 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,369 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $34,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Owens Community College (OCC) is a public community college with campuses in Perrysburg and Findlay, Ohio, United States. Owens was founded in 1965 in Toledo and chartered in 1967. The Findlay campus opened in 1983. Owens Community College is named after Michael J. Owens, the Toledo-based inventor of automated glass bottle-making technology.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — the average net price of $10,202/year is genuinely manageable, and median debt at graduation is a modest $8,731, meaning you won't leave buried in loans. The honest concern is that median earnings sit at $34,400 ten years out, which is on the lower end and worth factoring in depending on your career goals. This is a solid, low-risk option for students pursuing transfer pathways or career-focused programs, but do your homework on outcomes specific to your field before committing.
