Graphs - Out of State Residents

The appeal of Ohio's independent colleges extends from coast to coast.

Ohio's independent colleges do more than their share of meeting one of the state's strategic higher education goals: attracting students from out of state.

Large majorities of entering freshmen at both public and independent colleges are from Ohio, but independent-college students have a better chance of learning with someone from another part of the country.

Ohio's new strategic plan for higher education emphasizes attracting out-of-state students, with the hope that many will settle here after graduation. Ohio's independent colleges lead in this effort.
