ABOUT THE CITY

The much larger metropolitan area, commonly called “Greater Cincinnati”, is the second largest metropolitan region in Ohio and includes parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.  Dayton is situated within the Miami Valley region of Ohio, just north of the Cincinnati metropolitan area.  Dayton plays host to significant industrial, aerospace, and technological/engineering research activity and is known for the many technical innovations and inventions developed there.

You will find living in one of these Midwestern cities affords you family-friendly neighborhoods, award-winning public school systems for your children,  and Midwestern values that make it easy to settle in and become part of the community.

Cincinnati raises more than $10 million annually with its Fine Arts Fund. So you will be able to enjoy the hundreds of performances, exhibits, and classical concerts are offered throughout the year. The city is home to the Tony Award-winning Playhouse in the Park, the new Contemporary Arts Center, the world-renowned Cincinnati Symphony (the third largest in the country), and the Cincinnati Art Museum, which was rated in the 2004 Zagat survey in a three-way tie, as The Best Art Museum in the Nation.

    About Cincinnati

    Cincinnati is a city in southwestern Ohio that lies on the Ohio River and is the county seat of Hamilton County. Cincinnati’s rich history and culture are the legacy of its prominence as the second-largest city west of the Alleghenies in the mid-19th century. By 1826, Cincinnati had become known as the Queen of the West. Today the riverside city has a cosmopolitan atmosphere with a compact and accessible downtown. Having expanded up the slopes of the Ohio River’s steep hillsides, the city’s changes in elevation, turn-of-the-century architecture and winding, narrow streets provoke comparisons to the topography of San Francisco.

    History

    Cincinnati was founded in 1788 by John Cleves Symmes and Colonel Robert Patterson. Surveyor John Filson (also the author of The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boon (siq) Daniel Boone) named it “Losantiville” from four terms, each of different language; meaning “The city opposite the mouth of the (Licking) River,” “ville” is French for “city,” “anti” is Greek for “opposite,” “os” is Latin for “mouth,” and “L” was all that was included of “Licking River.”

    In 1789 Fort Washington was built to protect the settlements in the Northwest Territory. The post was constructed under the direction of General Josiah Harmar and was named in honor of President George Washington.

    Education

    Community Colleges
    Community colleges exist for two major purposes. The first is to serve as a bridge from high school to college by providing courses for transfer toward a bachelor’s degree. Four out of 10 collegebound high-school graduates start their college education this way.

    The second function of community colleges is to prepare students for the job market by offering entry-level career training as well as courses for adult students who want to upgrade their skills for the workplace. They often offer programs that are not available at four-year schools, like fashion design.

    Liberal Arts Colleges
    Liberal arts colleges offer a broad base of courses in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Most are private and focus mainly on undergraduate students. Classes tend to be small and personal attention is available.

    Online Learning
    Recent years have witnessed the rise of online degree programs, to allow the busy professional a chance to work at their own pace from the comfort of their home on the path to getting a degree. The costs to students are typically the same as for traditional classes— and financial aid is equally available—while the cost to the institution can be much less.

    There are online universities ranging from legitimate distance learning systems to fly-by-night degree-mills. It’s important to research a particular institution before deciding to enroll in their system. Generally, brick-and-mortar schools that also offer online classes are the safest, though there are plenty of fully accredited online universities out there.

    Nearly 3 million students are believed to be taking online classes at institutions of higher education in the United States this year. That number has been growing about 25% a year recently. Now, virtually all public higher education institutions, as well as a vast majority of private, for-profit institutions, now offer online classes. By contrast, only about half of private, nonprofit schools offer them. Online schools offer everything from Associate’s degrees to Doctoral programs with available emphases in everything from Business Administration to Criminal Justice to Nursing. Some programs require students to attend some campus classes or orientations, but many are delivered completely online. Online courses generally require a computer with a broadband connection, but are now a serious option for the busy professional.

    Public vs. Private
    Public colleges are usually less expensive, particularly for in-state residents. They get most of their money from the state or local government. Private colleges rely on tuition, fees, endowments, and other private sources. Private colleges are usually smaller and can offer more personalized attention and often more prestige.

    Upper Division
    Upper-division schools offer the last two years of undergraduate study, usually in specialized programs leading to a bachelor’s degree. Students then generally transfer to an upper-division college after completing an associate degree or after finishing a second year of study at a four-year college.
