Founded in 1819 as Cincinnati College, it is the second oldest institution of higher education in the Cincinnati area[6] (behind Miami University) and has an annual enrollment of over 50,000 students, making it the second largest university in Ohio.[7] It is part of the University System of Ohio. The university's primary uptown campus and medical campus are located in the Heights and Corryville neighborhoods, with branch campuses located in Batavia and Blue Ash, Ohio.

The university has 14 constituent colleges, with programs in architecture, business, education, engineering, humanities, the sciences, law, music, and medicine. The medical college includes a leading teaching hospital and several biomedical research laboratories, with developments made including a live polio vaccine and diphenhydramine.[8] UC was also the first university to implement a co-operative education (co-op) model.[9]

The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is classified as "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[10] UC's athletic teams are called the Cincinnati Bearcats and compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I as a member of the Big 12 Conference.
