University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus is a public university located in Cincinnati, Ohio, with an enrollment of approximately 29,882 students. The university admits a large share of applicants — its acceptance rate of 85.3% means that most people who apply are offered admission. First-year students return at a rate of 85.4%, and 75% of students go on to complete their degrees.

In-state tuition is $13,976 per year, while out-of-state students pay $29,310 per year. The average annual net price — the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $25,648. This figure can exceed published tuition because it accounts for all costs of attending, not tuition alone. About 18.8% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for lower-income students.

Among students who completed a program and borrowed federal loans, the median debt at graduation was $21,250. Roughly 37.3% of all enrolled students took out federal student loans. Of those who borrowed, 57.1% were actively reducing their loan balance within three years of leaving school — meaning a meaningful share of borrowers were not making progress on repayment during that period.

Median earnings among federally-aided students who enrolled stand at $54,810 ten years after enrollment. This figure includes all students who received federal financial aid and enrolled — not only those who graduated — so it reflects outcomes across a broad range of completers and non-completers alike.

Among the programs offered at the university relevant to career-focused study is Computer Network Support Specialist, a technical field focused on maintaining and supporting network infrastructure. Prospective students interested in this or other programs can contact the university directly for current program availability and requirements.
