Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay $11,449 annually at Northwest State, while those making over $110,000 face $17,468 per year. The college keeps costs manageable across income brackets, with most students completing their two-year programs for under $35,000 total. Only 6.38% of students take federal loans, reflecting the school's affordability in rural Ohio.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $9,750, translating to monthly payments of just $103. With median earnings hitting $40,004 ten years after graduation, loan payments represent less than 3% of typical income. The employment rate reaches 95.6%, meaning nearly all graduates find work. Students from low-income families get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly half what wealthier families contribute while accessing the same healthcare and manufacturing programs that feed northwest Ohio's job market.
