Cost Overview

Families earning under $30,000 pay around $9,076 annually, while those making over $110,000 face costs near $15,415. The complete two-year program runs $18,000 to $31,000 depending on family income. Only 21% of students receive financial aid, reflecting the college's already low baseline costs for Ohio residents.

Graduates typically owe $11,457 in loans, translating to monthly payments of $121. That debt load stays manageable against median earnings of $35,463 within ten years of graduation. The 30% loan repayment rate suggests many students struggle to keep up with payments despite the modest amounts. Southern State serves a predominantly female student body, with women making up 73% of enrollment.

Low-income families get the strongest value here. The $9,076 net price for families under $30,000 makes this one of Ohio's most affordable pathways to career training and potential transfer opportunities.
