College Will Host Spring Open House March 12

UCBA will host a Spring Open House for prospective students on Thursday, March 12, in Muntz Hall on the college campus. The open house starts at 7 p.m., with application processing and information provided by college representatives beginning at 6 p.m. 

The Spring Open House is for prospective students who are considering enrolling in the summer or fall 2015 semesters.  Students and their families can learn more about the college by meeting with professors, advisors, and current students, as well as taking a campus tour.  As a bonus, the $50 application fee is waived for those who apply during the open house.  

The event will also feature a live appearance by Q102, with morning personality Jennifer Fritsch.  She will be giving away prizes and conducting live interviews. 

“Our open house is a great opportunity to really get a feel for our college by exploring specific academic programs and hearing directly from our professors and students about the UC Blue Ash experience,” said UCBA Dean Cady Short-Thompson.

UCBA has set records for attendance at its past two open house events and enrollment continues to rise.  The number of students enrolled for fall 2014 was up 4.3 percent from the previous year to a total of just over 5,000 students.  

Despite the growth, the Dean pointed out that classes at UCBA are small, with an average of 19 students and a student to teacher ratio of fourteen to one. 

While the Campus Facilities crews did a valiant job of clearing the lots, after nearly a full week of cancelled classes due to the weather and heavy snow over the weekend of February 21-22, students returned to classes on Monday, February 23 to piles of snow in the UCBA lots that challenged their parking skills.
