Published undergraduate tuition $13,695
Finding Ohio Business College-Sandusky charges 18% below the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $13,695. That is 18% below the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Ohio median ($15,202), sticker tuition is 10% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 15% above.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
