Coming to the University of Cincinnati opened
my eyes to so many different people and
opportunities. In just three short years I have
learned more about myself and my identity
than ever before. The opportunities here are
truly endless, from internships and co-ops, to
student clubs and organizations, and even
different things to do on the weekend. Diversity
at Cincinnati goes beyond the classroom

Deciding “what you want to do” doesn’t end with picking a major.

Promise combines self-directed learning, mentor support,
and technologies to help you reach your long-term goals. Our
promise means you’ll actively co-design a personalized path that
reflects your aspirations, talents, and priorities. You’ll graduate
with a diploma and your very own professional development
plan. It’s just one more reason that greatness lies beyond the
classroom—and this is where you start.
