CINCINNATI, Ohio-As thousands of Cincinnati-area college students return to class this month, they face rising tuition and fees. While many students have found financial aid through scholarships and school websites, this often does not cover the full cost. Although some colleges had frozen tuition during the pandemic, many are now lifting those freezes.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, in-state tuition at local public universities includes:
– University of Cincinnati: $13,000
– Ohio State University: $12,500
– Ohio University: $14,000
– Miami University of Ohio: $17,000 (with a freshman year rate lock)
– Northern Kentucky University: $10,500 (with a reciprocity discount for southwest Ohio students)
– Cincinnati State: approximately $5,000 for full-time programs
