How much does Old Dominion University actually cost after financial aid?

The average net price at Old Dominion University is approximately $14,638 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 $9,739 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $23,567. 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 Old Dominion University?

Old Dominion University reports a graduation rate of approximately 46%. 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 Old Dominion University have?

Students who borrowed at Old Dominion University left with a median of approximately $24,000 in federal loans, and about 41% 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 Old Dominion University earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $54,914 for students who received federal financial aid at Old Dominion 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.
