Marketing at Ohio University-Eastern Campus

Ohio University-Eastern's marketing program punches well above its weight nationally, placing in the 95th percentile for graduate earnings—an impressive showing that puts it ahead of 813 other schools offering this degree. That $55,022 starting salary beats the national median by $10,000 and matches what graduates earn from Ohio University's other regional campuses. The $25,000 median debt is right at the national and state average, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.45 that's highly manageable—graduates can realistically pay this off within a few years.

Within Ohio, the picture is more competitive but still solid. This program ranks in the 60th percentile statewide, sitting just below flagship programs like Miami and Ohio State. Four years out, earnings grow to $64,113, a healthy 17% increase that suggests career progression. The fact that Ohio University-Eastern delivers the same first-year outcomes as other OU regional campuses while likely offering lower tuition and a closer-to-home option makes it particularly attractive for students in eastern Ohio.

For parents weighing options, this represents a smart investment: graduates earn more than national and state averages while taking on typical debt levels. If your student is considering staying regional rather than heading to Columbus or Oxford, they won't sacrifice earning potential by choosing Ohio University-Eastern's marketing program.
