Campaign Priorities

Proudly Cincinnati: Tower of Strength, Rock of Truth. 

 

Strong Tradition

Reflecting the business world, the UC College of Business faces increasingly complex global markets, changing demographics, intense competition and a demand for innovation. As leading provider of human capital for our community, our college is a driver for the region's economy. Our programs are distinctive by their multidisciplinary opportunities, capitalizing on UC's strength in engineering, law, medicine and design. As such, our graduates are poised to compete in an increasingly innovation-driven and global economy.

As part of a top 20 public, research university,  College of Business faculty members routinely create and share knowledge with our partners. Their work has helped improve operations at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, taken “best practices” from American businesses to China, and spurred innovation throughout the college itself.

Establishing partnerships remains one of the college's greatest strengths. Our academic and outreach centers provide the ideal platform for continuing education, applied research and business community engagement.

Bold Vision

Aligned with the university's strategic plan, our vision is to be a leading business college. To reach that vision, we develop our students into collaborative, creative and global business leaders. As a highly valued partner for our business community, we will be an engine for innovation and a catalyst for growth for Greater Cincinnati and beyond.
