Value snapshot
Cost, debt, completion, and career-return context
This profile keeps College Scorecard institution-level measures separate from ACOTE and NBCOT program-specific context so applicants can see what is known and what still needs verification.
Decision snapshot
Is University of Toledo a strong OT value option?
Use the value score as a cost screen, then verify program-specific price, outcomes, fieldwork, and state-market fit before applying.
Best for
- Applicants comparing a #58 public OT value option before building an application list.
- In-state applicants who want to pressure-test $12,744 tuition against debt, completion, and local labor-market context.
- Readers who want matched ACOTE program profiles plus Ohio career-return context before treating price as value.
Watch closely
- College Scorecard cost, debt, and completion measures are institution-level signals, not OT-program-specific outcomes.
- Verify the full OT doctorate program cost after fees, equipment, travel, fieldwork, and living expenses.
- Ohio labor-market context helps estimate career return, but it does not replace city, setting, employer, and NBCOT outcome comparisons.
Ask before deciding
- What is the full OT-specific cost after fees, equipment, travel, and fieldwork expenses?
- How much debt do OT students graduate with, not just the institution overall?
- How far do students typically travel for Level II fieldwork?
Applicant read
How to interpret the value signal
The value score is strongest when low cost, manageable debt, completion strength, accreditation runway, and local labor-market opportunity point in the same direction.
Tuition signal
The published in-state tuition signal is still competitive, but applicants should verify total program-specific fees and living costs before treating it as low-cost.
Debt signal
The median debt signal is a watch item. Applicants should compare debt against realistic first-year OT salary in the state and setting they plan to enter.
Completion signal
The completion signal is a watch item. Ask the program for OT-specific retention and graduation data before applying.
State opportunity
Ohio adds a moderate career-return signal. Applicants should compare the strongest metros and common first jobs before assuming statewide wage strength.
