I don’t exactly understand the dual enrollment concept? Can you please explain?

The dual enrollment is an articulation agreement between Cincinnati State Technical & Community College and the University of Cincinnati (UC). Students will attend Cincinnati State to earn an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts and then transition to UC’s Applied Science to fulfill the remaining portion of the curriculum for a Bachelor’s degree. Once enrolled and if you have selected the participation option, you may have the same privileges as a UC student. During the first two years at Cincinnati State, you will pay Cincinnati State tuition. Upon competition of the Associate degree, you will then pay the regular UC tuition.

During my first two years at Cincinnati State can I live on UC’s campus?

Sure, you can also participate in all student life activities, including free admission to UC Sporting events (held on UC Campus), if you have selected the participation option.

I noticed the program is out of Applied Science. Is this college located on the Clifton campus?

Applied Science is located at 2220 Victory Parkway just north of Eden Park. You can visit the college website at: www.uc.edu/cas.
