Academics
Studying online: a large share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 413 of Ottawa University-Online's 957 students (43%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 395 (41%) 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 Ottawa University-Online
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 Ottawa University-Online located?
- Ottawa University-Online is located in Overland Park, KS, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Ottawa University-Online?
- Ottawa University-Online is a private university based in KS. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- Is Ottawa University-Online open admission?
- Yes. Ottawa University-Online 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 Ottawa University-Online?
- Ottawa University-Online's published in-state tuition is approximately $13,296 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 Ottawa University-Online?
- Ottawa University-Online reports total enrollment of approximately 810 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- What is the graduation rate at Ottawa University-Online?
- Ottawa University-Online reports a graduation rate of approximately 43% (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 Ottawa University-Online have?
- Students who borrowed at Ottawa University-Online left with a median of approximately $21,500 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 Ottawa University-Online earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $55,552 for students who received federal financial aid at Ottawa University-Online. 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 Ottawa University-Online?
- 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 Ottawa University-Online.

One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $61,364; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $32,624 in federal loans at this college (about $371 a month on a 10-year plan). The figure is reported for all 6 campuses that share Ottawa University-Online's federal aid ID.
- How much do Health and Medical Administration graduates from Ottawa University-Online earn?
- Ottawa University-Online's bachelor's graduates in Health and Medical Administration earned a median $82,317 four years after graduating, 40% above the $58,716 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 $75,385; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $20,738 in federal loans at this college (about $220 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $29,198 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 6 campuses that share Ottawa University-Online's federal aid ID.

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.
