University of Cincinnati
The university has 14 constituent colleges, with programs in architecture, business, education, engineering, humanities, the sciences, law, music, and medicine.The University of Cincinnati was chartered by the Ohio legislature in 1870[11] after delays by livestock and veal lobbyists angered by the liberal arts-centered curriculum and lack of agricultural and manufacturing emphasis [citation needed].[citation needed] In 1971, the university became one of the first institutions in the United States to offer a women's studies course, which was taught by Monika Triest and Sylvia Tucker.[18] Over this time, the university invested nearly $2 billion in campus construction, renovation, and expansion ranging from the student union to a new recreation center to the medical school.[19] Upon her inauguration in 2005, President Nancy L. Zimpher developed the UC21 plan, designed to redefine Cincinnati as a leading urban research university.In addition, it includes putting liberal arts education at the center, increasing research funding, and expanding involvement in the city.In the wake of the George Floyd protests in 2020, a list of demands related to racial equity at the University of Cincinnati were sent to administrators by the Black Round Table and the UC Student Government, which included hiring more Black faculty, making the UC Police Department budget public, making Election Day and Juneteenth university holidays, and removing Charles McMicken's name across campus, as McMicken was a slave owner.[22][23][22][23] Some of the demands had been made by the Irate 8 group in 2015 following the killing of Samuel DuBose by a UC Police Department officer.It is roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) from the main campus in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati and overlooks the Ohio River.Some of the programs that helped achieve this distinction include: a bike share program where UC students can rent bikes from the university, an expanded recycling program, improved and expanded campus transportation options, the addition of vehicle charging stations, fuel pellet use in place of coal, greatly decreased energy and water use throughout campus, and the addition of 6 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified buildings since 2005.The College of Medicine is the university's medical school;[56] it includes a leading teaching hospital and several biomedical research laboratories.Students admitted into the Honors program typically meet the following qualifications: an ACT composite score of 32 or higher, an SAT score of 1400 or higher (critical reading and math combined), and either an unweighted high school GPA of 3.6 or a weighted high school GPA of 3.8.Experiences are defined as "fall[ing] within one of five competencies: community engagement, creativity, global studies, leadership, and research.6,500 students live on campus in ten residence halls that offer both traditional and suite style options.In the fall of 2012, Campus Recreation Center Housing (CRC) was named on The Fiscal Times' list of "10 Public Colleges with Insanely Luxurious Dorms".[67] In recent years, record freshman classes and increased interest by upperclass students has led to higher demand than supply for on-campus residence halls.Two off-campus university-affiliated (but not university-managed) housing options were introduced in 2005: Stratford Heights and University Park Apartments.[72] The Transition and Access Program, which does not lead to a degree, allows certain disabled adults to take classes, interact with other students, and intern at companies.The programming streams online as opposed to a traditional radio station and, like the News Record, is open to any student attending the university.The Bearcats won the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship in 1961 and 1962, both times against the Ohio State Buckeyes.Charles Keating won the 1946 200-meter butterfly national title for UC as a member of the men's swimming team, and, most recently, Josh Schneider did the same in the 50-yard (46 m) freestyle in 2010.[86] The Richard E. Lindner Varsity Village, a key feature of UC's athletic complex, was commissioned as part of the university's entry into the Big East Conference.The complex includes the Richard E. Lindner Center, which offers spaces for training, meetings, studying, and classrooms, as well as the George and Helen Smith Athletics Museum.The Varsity Village project also includes several notable venues: Gettler Stadium, home to the soccer team; the Trabert-Talbert Tennis Center; UC Baseball Stadium, which replaced Johnny Bench Field; and Sheakley Lawn, an open athletic field for student use.Nippert Stadium serves as the home field for the Cincinnati Bearcats football team and occasionally hosts women's lacrosse games.A permanent home for UC football, the Indoor Practice Facility & Performance Center is being built on the site of Sheakley Field.Lastly, the Keating Aquatics Center is home to the UC men's and women's swimming and diving teams, completing the diverse range of athletic facilities available at the university.
