Costs and Financial Aid
With our low in- and out-of-state tuition and fees and lower number of required credit hours, OHIO's DAT program is the most affordable in the nation. When you choose OHIO, you’re getting the competitive tuition rates of a state university, but with the personalized attention and support you might expect from a private school. In fact, for the fourth consecutive year we were named the best value among Ohio’s public universities by U.S. News & World Report.
Tuition and fees are assessed based on the number of credit hours of enrollment, Ohio residency and program.
