Dollars and Sense

Tuition cost for the Lake Campus is among the lowest in the state! Wright State - Dayton and the State of Ohio set our tuition as low as possible so that we will be accessible financially as well as geographically. As a regional campus of Wright State University, we work diligently with the Dayton campus to keep college accessible and affordable by setting Lake Campus tuition among the lowest in the state.

In fact, when you compare tuition, housing and meal plan costs to other schools, you can save up to $20,000 if you take your general education courses or earn your associate degree at the Lake Campus. And moving on to a baccalaureate program at WSU-Dayton is an easy transition -- there's no need to reapply or transfer.

You can find Lake Campus tuition rates at our Costs & Fees page.

Numerous scholarship opportunities are available to Lake Campus students. The Lake Campus's governing board, the Western Ohio Educational Foundation, raises money each year to fund numerous scholarships for new and continuing students.
