Cincinnati Works: Launch your career while in school.
Here, it isn’t about “what do you want to do after graduation?” because at the University of Cincinnati (UC), you won’t have to wait. Bearcats roll up our sleeves, get to work, and create what’s Next. For over 100+ years, Bearcats have been jumpstarting their careers through our innovative co-op and internship program that lets students combine their rigorous academics with real-world learning.
Home to nearly 48,000 students across three unique campuses, Cincinnati is a national leader in career-ready education. Today, UC ranks the #1 public university for co-op and internships by U.S. News & World Report. Co-op students from UC’s College of Engineering & Applied Science earn an average of $57,000 while in school, working at employers around the globe including Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, and NASA.
Career preparation is at the center of a UC education. Through our Bearcat Promise Career Studio, we prepare students for the world of work with professional development, coaching, and career services. Our students can gain up to 1.5 years of full-time, paid work experience, before they even graduate. No more worrying about needing the experience to get the job, or the job to get the experience. For you, this means graduating with a degree, a full résumé, and a plan for your future.
Today, more than 315,000 living alumni count themselves as Bearcats—united not just by their loyalty to UC’s nationally known sports teams but by their common love of the place, the people, and the ideas that make up the University of Cincinnati.
