Miami University is Still the Most Expensive Public College in Ohio

Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, remains the most expensive public college in Ohio. Trustees approved new tuition and fees for the 2012-13 school year which will raise tuition for Ohio undergraduates by $442, bringing the total up to just over $13,000 for the year.

Undergraduates attending the school who are residents of other states will pay $28,000 per year.

Miami defends the tuition, pointing to a survey by Smart Money magazine that ranked Miami No. 9 in the country for return on a student's tuition investment. The college also boasts an average time to graduation of fewer than four years.
