Where school spirit meets lifelong connections.
Get ready to embark on a college journey that is uniquely yours. At the intersection of education and opportunity, you'll find the University of Cincinnati. Home to 50,000 students from 121 countries across three distinct campuses, we are fueled by a diverse community.
Different ideas, different approaches, different people, different perspectives.
UC believes in shaping tomorrow through inclusive excellence. Our campus is empowered by diverse people, perspectives and ideas. By leading with courage and compassion, and welcoming and leveraging individual contributions, we can collaborate, create, innovate and compete in a global society.
This past year we welcomed our largest enrollment, and our study body is more diverse than ever. Students of color represent 25.5%. UC has students from every state and the District of Columbia but we also have students from 121 different countries around the world.
We have a motto here: “Juncta Juvant”. It means Strength in Unity. It means finding your community within our community. It means having the academic resources, career coaches and classmates to set you up for success during your Bearcats journey, and the connections for success after you leave campus.
Scholarship and community impact are paramount and at their finest when a diverse student body, faculty and community of researchers use their talents, intellect, and unique perspectives to conquer real-world challenges. It may be possible to ignore a single thread, but when woven seamlessly into a multicolored, multiethnic tapestry to achieve a common goal—a community striving for excellence and pushing for what’s next—the results are future forward and unmistakably Cincinnati.
Today, more than 332,000 living alumni count themselves as Bearcats—united not just by their loyalty to UC’s nationally known sports teams, but by their common love of the place, the people and the ideas that make up the University of Cincinnati.
