The University of Cincinnati is a coeducational public research university in Cincinnati, Ohio. The 2007 rankings from The Center at Arizona State University place the University of Cincinnati as a "Public University Ranking in the Top 25 among Publics," tied for the 37th best public research university and 70th overall research university in the United States. UC has an annual enrollment of approximately 35,000 students — thus making it one of the 100 largest universities in the U.S. It offers nearly 600 programs of study, ranging from 2-year Associate's Degrees to Doctoral and post-doctorate education. With an economic impact of over $3 billion per year, it is the largest single employer in Greater Cincinnati.
In 1819, Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio were founded in Cincinnati upon the suggestion and with the funds of local benefactors such as Dr. Daniel Drake who went before the Ohio Legislature in January 1819 and sought a charter for the Medical College of Ohio, the second medical school to be founded west of the Allegheny Mountains, and William Lytle of the Lytle family of Cincinnati.
In 1870, due to the estate of Charles McMicken, money was left to the City of Cincinnati to establish the University of Cincinnati, absorbing Cincinnati College. While the Medical College of Ohio was loosely affiliated with UC from about 1896, it joined with a splinter medical school, Miami Medical College, to form the Ohio-Miami Medical Department of the University of Cincinnati in 1909, several months prior to Abraham Flexner's visit. UC would again add another independent organization to its roster of colleges when it absorbed the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 1962. UC became a "municipally-sponsored, state-affiliated" institution in 1968. During this time, UC was the second-oldest and second-largest municipal university in the country. It became one of Ohio's state universities in 1977. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies UC as a Research University-Very High Research Activity.
