Ohio National University

Ohio National University offers online college degree programs primarily focused on enabling international students to earn a college degree from an American university. Ohio National University operates as a division of Franklin University, itself a private nonprofit university based in Columbus, Ohio. The dedicated online-only format inherent to the Ohio National University admissions processing and degree program curriculum delivery seeks to streamline enrollment and attendance processes for new students.

History

Ohio National University exists as an affordable option for prospective students to earn a college degree from an accredited American university while avoiding the need to be physically located in the United States. Cost savings gained by utilizing an online course delivery model are passed on to the enrolled student in the form of lowered costs per credit hour at both graduate and undergraduate academic levels. Current credit hour costs associated with undergraduate courses are $250 per credit hour, while graduate fees are $350 per credit hour. In order to offer those credit hour costs to the public, Ohio National University made the following adjustments to operational procedures beyond online curriculum delivery, including the following:

Program feasibility and availability is predicated primarily on prospective student demand
Degree completion pathing is clearly mapped for each student within a personalized web portal, reducing the need for formal academic advising
Digitized textbooks and course support materials are utilized in favor of traditional textbooks and course materials
On-site course delivery costs are largely eliminated
Financial aid processing is unnecessary, as financial aid is not available to Ohio National University students
The need for ongoing upkeep of physical facilities is minimal, as the majority of its institutional structure exists solely online
