Graduates of the Secondary Education Integrated Language Arts Program who obtain licensure assume teaching positions in English/Language Arts. These graduates usually elect to teach in Ohio, but graduates teach across the nation. Other graduates can be other types of instructors and tutors.

Advanced degrees are generally required for director, principal, superintendent, librarian, and guidance counselor positions.

Current and admitted students can locate advisor contact information for Pre-Secondary Education via the UCBA advising website.

The University of Cincinnati's Blue Ash College is conveniently located in suburban Blue Ash and is accessible from I-75, I-71, I-275, and the Ronald Reagan Highway. We are relatively small, and our faculty-to-student ratio is low. You will find small class sizes and personal interaction with your instructors create the ideal learning environment. Parking is convenient, and our tuition is one of the lowest of the UC colleges.

We also maintain close ties with area schools. In fact, Blue Ash College is the only college campus to hose an elementary school on campus! Ties to our local community are also strengthened by the experiential learning component we recently added to all education courses. You will provide valued assistance in area schools, as you connect learned academic theory to real-world experiences.

In the education programs available at Blue Ash College, students have the opportunity to observe in the schools at an early point in their academic career. Early exposure can be an advantage in determining the age group that a student desires to teach before progressing through a majority of a chosen program.

Transfer applications are individually reviewed, and acceptance is based on receipt of application materials, as well as official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended. An official evaluation of transfer credit from other colleges will be processed after the student's file is complete.

More information on applying as a transfer student can be found at the UCBA Admissions, Steps for Enrollment webpage.

Students changing majors from other programs or colleges within UC will be considered based on the same criteria as outside transfers.

Students who did not graduate from a high school in the United States of America must take an ability-to-benefit test and achieve the minimum specified score to be eligible for admission to a degree or certificate program at Blue Ash College. The scores will be used for placement in English courses and general advising for all courses.
