Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

Clark State is 85.50 per quarter credit hour. It is really great since our classes will transfer to other universities. You're paying 3 times less for your classes versus a traditional university.
Amanda from Beavercreek, OH
Several of the professors here work very hard to make sure that credits from Clark State will transfer to most major Ohio universities. So instead of paying for a years worth of credits at a four year semester institution for general classes, a student can pay one third of the cost and earn twice as many credits on this schools quarter pace.
Jennifer from Springfield, OH
If your just looking for certification, a 2 year degree, or plan to go on to a 4 year college. The variety of learning opportunities at Clark State will give you much more than the cost would ever lead you to expect. A truky great learning experience without having to mortgage your next 20 years of earnings.
