Cost context
Where Kent State University at Stark sits on price and outcomes
At $10,897, Kent State University at Stark's reported average net price is cheaper than 21% among 228 Ohio colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,989.
- $10,897
- average net price
- $17,989
- Ohio median
- 1.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,597
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $8,312, while those above $110,000 record $14,909 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $10,897 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $40,179, roughly 3.7 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
