Ten years after entry, the median Ohio University-Zanesville Campus student earns $52,581 — a solidly middle-of-the-pack result for an undergraduate institution. Only 24% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Graduates carry a median of $21,056 in debt — in line with the national norm.

Student:faculty

Completion is the problem here: 24% graduate within six years. First-year retention is 60% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. 32% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 526 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $5,957 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,280 at $0–30k against $8,773 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 69% of students at an average of $5,878. About 47% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.

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.
