What Students Say

But the real story of the positive impact University of Cincinnati Online has in the lives of our students comes directly from them in their own words. Here are just a few thoughts they have shared with us.

“I Passed my BCBA exam on my first attempt thanks to UC’s excellent online program and my top-notch down to earth professors who were so supportive. The well-prepared lesson plans/quizzes/papers were helpful and one more thing, love my cohort peers who I still keep in touch to this day.”

Lily H.  |  Master of Education in Foundations in Behavior Analysis

“As someone currently enrolled in UC’s Lindner College of Business online MBA program, I can attest to the value of the program. The pace can be intense at times, but the structure allows for logical progression. I was, honestly, surprised that I found the online learning experience preferable both for convenience and for comprehension. Being able to replay lectures, have online notes, ability to ask questions of instructors easily and actually collaborate with classmates in a meaningful way were real pluses. UC knows how to leverage technology. The curriculum is rich and useful; the professors are first-rate.”

Jim T.  |  Master of Business Administration

“As a single parent with a full-time job, I definitely needed a flexible program to help me balance all of my responsibilities. I was also really excited that the MHI curriculum aligned so well with my job as a Clinical Analyst. Being able to apply what I learned in class at my job was very rewarding. Anyone interested in understanding the role of IT and how it aligns with healthcare will definitely be satisfied with this program. I was extremely pleased and I continue to look forward to all of the doors this accomplishment will open for me!”

Carelicha D.  |  Master of Health Informatics

“The best part of the MSIT online program is even before the program actually starts. The admission coordinators and program advisors are amazing. I had my doubts getting back to being a student after almost a decade but they made the transition super easy with their help and advising. I enjoyed all my online classes and the professors are extremely knowledgeable, hands-on and have a lot of pride in their work. I knew I was in the right place at the very beginning in the program when Professor Chengcheng Li took the class on ARP spoofing in Cybersecurity looking like an actual hacker sitting in a dark room.”

Trupti R.  |  MS Information Technology

“I enjoy being a nurse, but want to be an independent practitioner. My work in gynecology inspired me to pursue further education with an MSN in Women’s Health. I selected UC because I needed an online program. There was no other way I could have completed my degree. I work, have a family and am mostly free at night. The online classes are really user friendly and I receive a lot of support from the University of Cincinnati.”
