ONE UNIVERSITY
meeting the needs of our community
Whether you’re from the east side or the west side, the University of Cincinnati is embedded in the heart of the city of Cincinnati. With three distinct campuses, each serving the needs of the Greater Cincinnati community, there is a path for everyone at UC.
Located just minutes from downtown Cincinnati, our flagship campus combines luscious green space with elegant architecture on what Forbes Magazine calls one of the world’s most beautiful college campuses. With over 41,000 students, our Uptown campus is our largest campus boasting 500+ student organizations, Division 1 Big 12 athletics, and the Cincinnati Innovation District.
UC Blue Ash is a regional college with more than 4,000 students located on a 135-acre, park-like campus in Blue Ash, a thriving Cincinnati suburb with a strong business community. Offering over 50 degrees and certificates, UC Blue Ash offers a supportive environment built for your success.
Nestled in the scenic landscapes east of the city in Clermont County, UC Clermont is home to just over 2,400 students. With over 60 unique programs of study, it offers an array of associate and bachelor’s degree programs, including the only aviation degree in the Cincinnati region.
As an urban, public university, our success is directly tied to the city of Cincinnati. We reach beyond our campuses to advance our community and beyond.
