Tuition and Fees

The following is a summary of the tuition and fees charged at Southern State. 
The College reserves the right to change fees. 

Without the State's support, the College's tuition and fees would have to be almost twice the current rate. The State of Ohio provides 45 percent of the college's revenue through two state subsidies: the State Share of Instruction and Access Challenge.  The rest of the college's revenue comes primarily from student tuition and fees.
