University of Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati offers students a balance of educational excellence and real-world experience. UC is a public research university with an enrollment of more than 44,000 students. It has been named "Among the top tier of the Best National Universities," according to U.S. News & World Report.
Today, more than a quarter-million living alumni count themselves as Bearcats — united not just by their loyalty to our nationally known sports teams, but by their shared love of the place, the people, and the ideas that make up the University of Cincinnati.
The University of Cincinnati serves the people of Ohio, the nation, and the world as a premier, public, urban research university dedicated to undergraduate, graduate, and professional education, experience-based learning, and research.
We are committed to excellence and diversity in our students, faculty, staff, and all of our activities. We provide an inclusive environment where innovation and freedom of intellectual inquiry flourish.
Through scholarship, service, partnerships, and leadership, we create opportunities, develop educated and engaged citizens, enhance the economy, and enrich our University, city, state, and global community.
UC offers an education that's rigorous and relevant — hundreds of academic programs, many nationally ranked, all with opportunities for real-world learning. Which only makes sense since we invented cooperative education back in 1906.
Today, real-world learning is more than a co-op. It is everything from study abroad to internships to artistic performances. It is a way of putting into immediate practice what you have learned in the classroom. And it is the reason you will graduate with transcripts and a resume.
At UC, you'll make a connection between learning and doing. We invented the co-op system and added even more ways to get real-world experience to help you become smarter, more experienced, and better prepared for a professional career.
You'll have access to these experiential learning opportunities, no matter which major you select. If you already know what you want to do, UC admits students directly to the major they apply. If you're undecided, their many choices to explore and dedicated advising services to help you find the path that's right for you.
Our University Honors Program allows you to take academics to a whole new level. It is about diving in, taking risks, and discovering your passion. Only the top 7 percent of UC students are considered for University Honors. But you do not have to apply. If you enroll and have what it takes, we will find you.
UC offers dozens of master's and Ph.D. programs and is home to three nationally ranked professional schools — law, medicine, and pharmacy. Dual degree options and guaranteed admission programs are available for students who know precisely where their caps and gowns will take them.
From non-credit courses to online degrees to summer and after-school programs for high school students, UC offers education in many forms and for many different types of people. It is all here. And it is all UC.
A fabulous campus, classrooms without boundaries, and unlimited opportunity. It is everything to make your college experience unmatched. The University of Cincinnati continues to gain national and international recognition for outstanding academic programs, world-class faculty, and successful co-op partnerships worldwide. But don't just take our word for it. Schedule a visit, and see our beautiful campus for yourself.
A college education is one of the most important investments you will ever make — an investment in yourself and your future. You are sure to find that college will be one of the most personally rewarding and demanding challenges you will ever take on, and like most students and parents, you have some concerns about paying for your education.
We believe that, regardless of your income, you have the potential to afford the quality education that the University of Cincinnati provides. We are committed to making your college education as affordable as we can. Nearly all students are eligible for some form of financial assistance.
Financial aid will likely not meet all of your educational costs. But the use of financial aid can reduce out-of-pocket expenses you (or your family) may assume while in college.
Study innovative methods in classrooms led by world-class faculty, take an active part in exciting laboratory breakthroughs or make amazing discoveries in the field — right here in Cincinnati or at exotic sites around the world.
UC has been called a "research heavyweight" and "one of America's top public research universities." The University has nearly 200 years of history as a research pioneer. UC scientists invented the world's first electronic organ, antihistamine, the heart-lung machine, and the oral polio vaccine.
Today, UC researchers continue to blaze new trails in science, medicine, business, education, engineering, and the arts — literally transforming how we live, work, and learn. And the world is paying attention. UC is awarded hundreds of millions of dollars annually for its research efforts from governmental, industrial, and nonprofit sources. Visionary ideas born from the bright minds at UC generate dozens of patent applications every year.
