The College of Arts and Sciences, is a liberal arts college of the University of Cincinnati. Located in the university's main campus in Cincinnati, Ohio, the college is commonly referred to as Arts and Sciences or simply A&S. As the largest and most diverse college, A&S is the academic heart of the University of Cincinnati and home to twenty-one departments, eight co-op programs, several interdisciplinary programs, and 407 full-time faculty members.

Name

[edit]

The college was formally named after Charles McMicken because his donation of land helped found the university.[1] In December 2019, the university's board of trustees voted to remove McMicken's name from the college because he had been a slaveowner. The name was removed from the rest of campus in June, 2022.[2]

Programs

[edit]

The college offers 55 undergraduate majors, 22 masters programs, and 14 doctoral programs. Enrollment comprises over 6,000 undergraduate students and over 800 graduate students. The college also offers a number of "4+1" programs where students complete their bachelor's and master's degree continuously in 5 years.
