FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedOhio University-Chillicothe Campus does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $74,378, above the $33,962 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Ohio.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a large share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 491 of Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's 1,941 students (25%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 1,092 (56%) 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus
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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus located?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus is located in Chillicothe, OH, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus is a public university based in OH. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- Is Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus open admission?
- Yes. Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
- What is the tuition at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's published in-state tuition is approximately $6,362 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus reports total enrollment of approximately 2,170 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus is approximately $5,755 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 $5,248 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $9,112. 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus reports a graduation rate of approximately 14% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus have?
- Students who borrowed at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus left with a median of approximately $21,056 in federal loans, and about 18% 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $52,581 for students who received federal financial aid at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus. 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus?
- 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 Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus.
- How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus earn?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's associate's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $78,236 four years after graduating, 3% below the $80,813 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $64,452; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $14,625 in federal loans at this college (about $155 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $24,101 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 6 campuses that share Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's federal aid ID. For context, registered nurses in Ohio are paid a median $82,510 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
- How much do Liberal Arts and General Studies graduates from Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus earn?
- Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's associate's graduates in Liberal Arts and General Studies earned a median $45,999 four years after graduating, 4% above the $44,125 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $36,942; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $19,000 in federal loans at this college (about $201 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $23,228 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 6 campuses that share Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's federal aid ID.
- Which programs at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 44 programs at Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Electrical Engineering, bachelor's ($94,673); Management Information Systems, bachelor's ($93,774); and Computer Science, bachelor's ($93,282) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Ohio University-Chillicothe Campus's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $74,378, above the $33,962 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Ohio, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
