Located in the university's main campus in Cincinnati, Ohio, the college is commonly referred to as Arts and Sciences or simply A&S.
As the largest and most diverse college, A&S is the academic heart of the University of Cincinnati and home to twenty-one departments, eight co-op programs, several interdisciplinary programs, and 407 full-time faculty members.
The college was formally named after Charles McMicken because his donation of land helped found the university.
[1] In December 2019, the university's board of trustees voted to remove McMicken's name from the college because he had been a slaveowner.
The college also offers a number of "4+1" programs where students complete their bachelor's and master's degree continuously in 5 years.
