Kent State
University at Tuscarawas
Public Community College in New Philadelphia, OH. Six-year graduation rate 35%. Median 10-year earnings $45,388.
Ten years after entry, the median Kent State University at Tuscarawas student earns $45,388 — a solidly middle-of-the-pack result for an undergraduate institution. Only 35% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Graduates carry a median of $24,500 in debt — in line with the national norm.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 35% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Just 50% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 18% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 35% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 876 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $12,576 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $10,337 at $0–30k, $16,148 at $110k+. About 68% get grants averaging $5,289, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 50% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,337 |
| $30–48k | $11,024 |
| $48–75k | $12,417 |
