Owens Community College
Public Community College in Perrysburg, OH. Six-year graduation rate 35%. Median 10-year earnings $37,275.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $37,275, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Only 35% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $16,667, neither a bargain nor a burden.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 35% graduate within six years. First-year retention is 60% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. 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 49% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,226 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $9,211 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,214 at $0–30k, $13,629 at $110k+. About 50% get grants averaging $4,371, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 42% 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 | $8,214 |
| $30–48k | $8,300 |
| $48–75k | $11,058 |
