Ohio State University-Mansfield Campus tuition
Published undergraduate tuition $9,488
Finding Ohio State University-Mansfield Campus charges 72% above the national public median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $9,488. That is 72% above the national public median ($5,512). Versus the Ohio median ($15,202), sticker tuition is 38% below. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 20% below.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
