UC is powering Ohio’s economy, workforce and communities — one student, one partner, one connection at a time.
At the University of Cincinnati we think bigger, because what comes next is for all of us. Leaders, innovators and problem-solvers who move Ohio forward are ignited on our four campuses. Our breakthroughs fuel industries. Our partnerships transform communities. We connect ambition with opportunity, turning potential into progress for the entire state. Bearcats bring their talent, energy and vision to every corner of the state. Together, we’re doing more than imagining a stronger Ohio. We’re building it.
Students who bring fresh ideas to the workplace through our nationally ranked co-op program. Faculty members who advance research, spark economic growth and improve lives. Alumni who create the connections that help communities thrive. All are Bearcats who turn ambition into action. At UC, we’re looking ahead to what is next to strengthen the fabric of our state and make a lasting difference with each project, partnership and person.

As the pioneer of cooperative education, the University of Cincinnati changed the way the world learns.
Neville Pinto University of Cincinnati President
UC is the state’s launchpad for talent, innovation and leadership. And we have history to prove it. Cooperative education was born at UC in 1906, and we continue today as a Top 5 program in the country. We equip thousands of students with the skills, experience and vision to power Ohio’s industries and transform its communities. Students from UC are paving the way with co-op placements in Ohio’s top companies — Procter & Gamble, General Electric, Honda and Siemens to name a few — and are using those experiences to land full time employment after graduation, adding to the state’s workforce. UC is where Ohio’s next generation of big thinkers begins their journey. Our Bearcats don’t just join the workforce, they shape it and have been for over 100 years.

Work-based learning opportunities like co-ops, internships or externship programs are a win-win for students, colleges and employers.
Mike DeWine Ohio Governor
As many are asking “Why go to college?” we’re answering confidently that a UC education is more than a degree. The University of Cincinnati’s nationally ranked co-op program is helping students create experiences that connect them to paid, career-shaping opportunities before graduation. And landing them full-time employment before they even sport their cap and gown. Our network of 360,000 alumni are making an impact across Ohio and around the globe. When you become a Bearcat, you’re investing in the entire state of Ohio with a return that lasts a lifetime.
