We can’t see you in person right now but we are eager to meet you online. Choose visit options based on what you want and need.
Every Thursday from 6-7:00 PM EST you can register to hear from the CEAS Recruitment Team as we discuss the programs we offer, co-op, affordability, student experience/support, and more! You'll also get an opportunity to connect with current CEAS students!
You'll hear us often referred to as CEAS on campus! While we would love to show you around campus in person, we've created an immersive digital experience that will help you fall in love with UC. Explore CEAS in our video tour. CEAS students take you on a tour through engineering buildings, facilities, classrooms, and more. Also, hear from professors by viewing the faculty talks.
UC's College of Engineering and Applied Science offers more than a dozen engineering and applied science majors and programs including bachelor of science, associate's, minors, and programs to enhance your undergraduate degree.
At the University of Cincinnati, we believe that learning is doing and doing is learning. Our curriculum is built around co-op - it’s part of our DNA. Which only makes sense, since we invented cooperative education back in 1906. Ranked No. 1 in the nation among public universities by U.S. News & World Report. UC’s co-op program promotes paid on-the-job experience that fosters professional maturity and increases career options following graduation. Gain real-world experience while collecting a real-world paycheck.
This is one example of what your co-op schedule will look like.
Freshman | Sophomore | Pre-Junior | Junior | Senior | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fall | Classes | Classes | Co-op | Classes | Classes |
Spring | Classes | Co-op | Classes | Co-op | Graduation! |
Summer | Free | Classes | Co-op | Co-op | N/A |
Getting good grades is important, but making the most of the opportunities outside of the classroom is the key to a well-rounded and rewarding college experience. Learn more about the CEAS community and college life outside of the classroom.

Senior year can get hectic for many high school students, but it’s important to complete all of the necessary steps in the college application process by their respective deadlines. We are here to help if you have any questions!
Yes, CEAS is a direct admit college! You’re admitted to our College of Engineering & Applied Science rather than a pre-major program. This means that you can apply directly to a program of choice, and if you’re admitted, you’ll begin your college career in that specific program.
Please take a look at these websites which will help you to determine which credit will transfer and compare it to your CEAS program’s curriculum:
Our engineering technology programs are the reason we have “Applied Science” in our college name! Engineering at UC is focused on theory and design, whereas engineering technology specializes in application and implementation. Our engineering programs curricula include higher-level math and theoretical science and our engineering technology program puts greater emphasis on hands-on lab skills. Both programs are 5-year bachelor programs which include 5 semesters of co-op.
