The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College continues to grow.
The official numbers for the fall 2025 semester show that the college has increased student enrollment for the fourth consecutive year. There are 4,940 students enrolled, which represents a 7.2% increase from fall 2024. The unofficial total tops 5,100 when you add the College Credit Plus high school students and online students that UC Blue Ash serves.
There are a lot of factors that go into this sustained growth, but a big key is a culture of support that exists throughout the campus. This dedication to student success was highlighted when UC Blue Ash earned national recognition this year as an Opportunity College in the Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education. That designation places UC Blue Ash among the best nationally at providing high access for students while preparing them to achieve high earnings as compared to regional peers.
Student retention is also a factor in supporting enrollment, and it continues to move in the right direction. Student retention totals from fall-to-spring and fall-to-fall are the highest they have been in over a decade at UC Blue Ash.

Caroline Vidourek is among the freshman students on campus this fall. She is studying dental hygiene and says she chose UC Blue Ash for its size and its reputation of having a supportive campus community.
"I came from a small high school, so I really like the small class sizes here, as well as being able to meet one on one with my professor when I need help," said Vidourek. "I also really enjoy how friendly the students and the staff are, and I love the study rooms that are available to us."
Along with more students, there is more space on campus this fall thanks to recently completed renovations of Muntz Hall, the flagship building on the 135-acre campus. The updates include the addition of a three-story atrium that expands Muntz Hall by nearly 6,000 square feet and serves as a modern space where students can meet, study or just take a break between classes.
There are five new study rooms for group projects, along with several tables and comfortable chairs spread throughout the atrium to make it easy to find a spot. A new student services wing was also created on the first floor as part of the renovations. It provides a central area where students can access academic advising, career services, counseling/psychological services and enrollment services.
