Analysis

Ohio University-Chillicothe's International Business graduates earn $57,396 within a year—nearly $8,000 above the national median and roughly matching what graduates from the main campus earn. That's impressive for a regional campus, placing it in the 75th percentile nationally. The debt load of $27,000 is also notably low, ranking in just the 5th percentile nationally (meaning 95% of programs saddle students with more debt). With a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.47, graduates owe less than half their first-year salary, a manageable position that most International Business programs can't match.

There's an important caveat here: the sample size is small (under 30 graduates), which means a few exceptional outcomes could skew these numbers optimistically. Still, the pattern is encouraging—graduates are entering jobs that pay well while avoiding the heavy debt burdens seen at larger programs. For Ohio families considering in-state options, this regional campus delivers the same first-year earnings as its main campus counterpart at comparable debt levels.

If your child is considering International Business and prefers staying closer to home, this program offers a cost-effective path. The strong initial earnings and modest debt provide breathing room for career development. Just understand that with limited data, these outcomes may not be as predictable as at larger programs with hundreds of graduates.
