Academics
Studying online: a large share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 566 of Muskingum University's 2,108 students (27%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 235 (11%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About Muskingum University
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Muskingum University located?
- Muskingum University is located in New Concord, OH, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Muskingum University?
- Muskingum University is a private university based in OH. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Muskingum University?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Muskingum University is approximately 82%. Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Muskingum University?
- Muskingum University's published in-state tuition is approximately $32,665 per year. This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Muskingum University?
- Muskingum University reports total enrollment of approximately 1,991 students (undergraduate plus graduate). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Muskingum University actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Muskingum University is approximately $19,532 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $14,684 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $23,493. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Muskingum University?
- Muskingum University reports a graduation rate of approximately 56%. This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Muskingum University have?
- Students who borrowed at Muskingum University left with a median of approximately $25,369 in federal loans, and about 81% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Muskingum University earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $48,440 for students who received federal financial aid at Muskingum University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Muskingum University?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Muskingum University.
