In accordance with Ohio State’s land-grant mission, and with the State’s expectations for Ohio’s regional campuses, we will continue our commitment to providing an Ohio State experience at an affordable cost. Our cost-shared relationship with our co-located institution has been a model for the state and a foundation for efforts to keep costs low while maintaining quality programming. We will pursue efficiency initiatives across all departments on our campus, work to keep tuition low, and generate new opportunities for scholarships and tuition grants.
