Ohio University fees for Indian students

Estimated total fees for the MS Computer Science / Data Science at Ohio University come to about ₹76.2Lin rupees - that's tuition plus living costs for the full program in Athens, converted at July 2026 rates. Tuition is the larger share; Athens living costs move the total more than most students expect. This is a tiered estimate by QS rank and destination, not Ohio University's own published fee, so confirm the exact tuition on the official program page before you budget.

Ohio Universitypackage in rupees - average vs “highest”

The average starting package for this profile is about ₹72.4L/year in rupees - a market salary band for the role and city (Glassdoor/Indeed/PayScale), not Ohio University's own placement figure. On payback that's roughly 1.1 years against the fees above.

On the “highest package” searches: we deliberately don't publish one. Viral “highest package” numbers are almost always a single outlier offer, often unverified, and they tell you nothing about what you'll actually earn. The average and the payback are the honest figures to plan around. If you want a per-university published outcome, only a handful of programs release one - our free assessment flags exactly which those are.

Ohio University acceptance rate

We don't publish an acceptance-rate number for Ohio University, and here's the honest reason: for master's programs a single university-wide percentage is misleading. Admission is decided per department and per intake, an MS in CS or Data Science is often far more selective than the institution's headline rate, and QS rank doesn't reliably predict the bar you personally face - we checked this against our 14 verified programs and found no correlation. Quoting a made-up figure would be exactly the kind of number this site exists to replace.

What actually decides your odds is your GPA versus the program's published bar, your test scores, and your profile fit. For Ohio University's current requirements, check its official admissions page.

Where these numbers come from - and what they are not

This page is part of our broad coverage layer: 356 universities from the QS World University Rankings 2026 (topuniversities.com, published 19 Jun 2025), with cost, salary, and payback estimated by QS rank band and destination job market. We have not independently verified these figures for Ohio University, and we don't publish an admit likelihood here - QS rank doesn't reliably predict a program's actual admission bar, so we won't fabricate one.

Before making a real decision: verify tuition on the official program page, salary bands on Glassdoor/Indeed/PayScale, and visa rules on the relevant government site. Visa figures here reflect United States policy as of July 2026.
