Outcomes Overview
Ohio State Mansfield graduates earn a median of $60,409 ten years after graduation, while carrying typical debt of $19,976. That debt-to-earnings ratio of 33% sits well below the concerning 40% threshold that financial experts warn against. Monthly loan payments of $212 consume about 4% of gross income for typical graduates. The 96.4% employment rate reflects strong job placement, though the regional campus setting means many graduates enter local industries in manufacturing, healthcare, and business services around north-central Ohio. With relatively modest debt loads and decent earning potential, plus the Ohio State brand recognition that opens doors statewide, Mansfield delivers an average return on investment for students seeking affordable access to a major university system.
