The new University of Cincinnati/Sinclair Community College bachelor's of science in information technology (IT) program brings forth the best of both the Sinclair Community College-Mason, and the University of Cincinnati to prepare a new group of IT professionals equipped with the technical knowledge and experience to meet the demands of today's IT driven world. The program offers students the opportunity to complete the following from the conveniently located Sinclair-Mason campus:

  • An associate's degree from the nationally-renowned Sinclair Community College

  • An ABET-accredited IT undergraduate degree from the University of Cincinnati

  • Three semesters of full-time paid work experience (co-op)

  • An opportunity to join the elite IT+ program to earn a master's degree from UC

    The UC/Sinclair BS in IT program is the result of continued partnership between the University of Cincinnati and Sinclair Community College. This new program will target graduating high school students and working adults. It promises to equip them with problem solving, communication, and hands-on technical skills at a reduced tuition rate.

    Parker Roe, a current Sinclair student in IT who is looking forward to participating in the new partnership, notes, "The new UC/Sinclair IT program is the absolute perfect opportunity for me to receive my BS in Information Technology from an amazing school with a tuition rate that is more than affordable. My dreams of attending school for a four year university education have become a reality! I could not be more thankful to Sinclair Community College and University of Cincinnati for opening these doors that were once closed to me."

    The signing event will take place on Thursday, August 4, from 10 a.m.-noon, at the Sinclair's Courseview Campus located at 5386 Courseview Drive, Building B, Room 115, Mason, Ohio. The event will feature remarks by students, academic and industry leaders, as well as an overview of the program.

Casey Foundation, only 41% of 3- to 4-year-olds in Ohio were enrolled in preschool between 2020 and 2024 — a 4% decrease from pre-pandemic numbers.
