UC tops 50,000 students First-gen, first-year, students of color and online learners help boost enrollment - Cedrick Ricks, University of Cincinnati

The University of Cincinnati anticipates record enrollment as classes begin Monday, Aug. 21, with a projected 50,500 students — a 5.39% increase over last year. The growth of the student body has continued for much of a decade and reflects the university’s core values around academic excellence, access and inclusion, and affordability. “It’s the brightest and most diverse first-year class we have ever had,” says Jack Miner, vice provost for enrollment management. “We are seeing more students from right here in Cincinnati and Cincinnati Public Schools choose UC, and we are welcoming students from across the country as we also continue to see the impact of UC’s entry into the Big 12.”
