Educational Administration and Supervision at Ohio State University-Newark Campus

Ohio State's Newark campus charges $23,000 in student debt for a degree that leads to earnings below $37,000—and those earnings actually decline slightly by year four. While this puts the program at the 60th percentile within Ohio, that's more a reflection of weak statewide outcomes than institutional strength. At the 25th percentile nationally, graduates here earn less than three-quarters of peers in similar programs across the country.

The debt burden tells a concerning story. At 63 cents of debt for every dollar of first-year earnings, this sits at the 75th percentile nationally—meaning debt levels are higher than most comparable programs. For context, the national median debt for this bachelor's degree is $31,298, so Newark's $23,000 represents one of the few bright spots in this data. Still, when earnings stagnate around $36,000, even moderate debt creates financial pressure for graduates trying to establish themselves in education administration roles.

For families considering this path, understand that you're looking at roughly six years to pay off $23,000 in loans on these earnings—assuming aggressive repayment. The identical median earnings across five Ohio State campuses suggests this is more about the degree itself than the specific campus. If education administration is the goal, exploring programs that show earnings growth rather than decline would be prudent, particularly since this field typically requires additional credentials for advancement.
