About This School

University of Toledo is a public institution located in Toledo, Ohio with approximately 9,770 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Toledo has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 92%. The average net price after financial aid is $17,249 per year. The graduation rate is 57%, and the typical graduate earns $52,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

The University of Toledo is a public research university in Toledo, Ohio, United States. It is the northernmost campus of the University System of Ohio. The university also operates a 450-acre (180 ha) Health Science campus, which includes the University of Toledo Medical Center, in the West Toledo neighborhood of Toledo; the Center for the Visual Arts is located in downtown Toledo at the Toledo Museum of Art; and a research and education facility, known as the Lake Erie Center, at Maumee Bay State Park.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $17,460/year average net price and only $14,750 median debt at graduation, Toledo is genuinely affordable, and the medical center, engineering programs, and Lake Erie research facility give motivated students real hands-on opportunities. That said, a 56% graduation rate is a real concern — nearly half of students who start here don't finish — so this school rewards students who come in with a clear plan and the self-discipline to stay on track. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious and have a specific program in mind, but go in with eyes open.
