Student Organizations
The University of Cincinnati encourages students to actively participate in extracurricular activities around campus.
Currently, there are over 250 student groups registered with the university. These organizations focus on a variety of topics such as academics, athletics, creative arts, cultural and ethnic issues, politics and professional development. Whether it’s playing on one of UC’s nationally ranked sports teams or broadcasting from UC’s Bearcast radio station, students have many opportunities to get involved. To view an updated list of groups, please visit the Student Activities and Leadership webpage.
