About UC
The University of Cincinnati offers students a balance of educational excellence and real-world experience. It is ranked among the top 100 public universities in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. UC has been offering distance learning programs since 1984. Since then, UC has incorporated new technologies and the use of the Internet to facilitate teaching and learning activities at the bachelor's and master's level.
Colleges serving non-traditional, adult learners were also early adopters of distance delivery formats, offering a range of "telecourses" that combined independent study via video broadcasts and video tape with periodic face-to-face meetings.
Today, 10 University of Cincinnati colleges provide distance learning options. While a variety of delivery methods are used, the prominent format is online, where 100% of teaching and learning activities occur asynchronously via the Internet.
