Origins and Development
Founded in 1828 as a private educational institution, the college operated
exclusively as an evening college until 1901 when day courses on a pre-college level
were added. In 1919 those courses were revised into collegiate programs. In 1934
the cooperative education plan was initiated which enabled students to spend time
working in industry. The first associate degrees were awarded in 1951. The college
merged with the University of Cincinnati in 1969 and became one of its 15 colleges.
Since the merger, the college began offering Bachelor of Science degrees in 1974.
