Ohio Northern University has earned the “Tuition Hero” designation by the Tuition Heroes website for the 2014-15 academic school year.

Schools tabbed as a “Tuition Hero” earn this honor if the institution has a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5 percent or less, and if the school has a fixed rate tuition policy.

Ohio Northern has traditionally been committed to making it affordable for students to attend the University while providing a quality education and a CAGR of 2.5 percent. In 2014-15, ONU instituted The Ohio Northern Promise to continue meet the challenges associated with the rising costs of higher education.

The Ohio Northern Promise is a set of initiatives designed to make an ONU education more affordable, to reduce student loan debt, to sustain academic quality, and to prepare students for career success.

The Tuition Heroes directory contains tuition (includes required fees) for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students at Title IV institutions. This includes institutions that charge students by academic year and institutions that charge by the program.

Tuition and fees for the largest program were used for institutions that charge by the program. For institutions that charge different tuition for in-state, or out-of-state students, the minimum tuition was used.
