UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO

The University of Toledo (UToledo) is one of just 27 public research universities in the country to offer such a comprehensive menu of academic options — 270+ degree programs across the arts, business, education, engineering, law, medicine, natural sciences, nursing and pharmacy. At UToledo, it's all about the possibilities and opportunities. No limitations.

   Research: Opportunities for undergraduate research may be few and far between at a state university but at UToledo, undergraduates are connected with faculty to help begin meaningful research projects that benefit the student in their education and career path. UToledo is renowned for research in the areas of astronomy and astrophysics; solar energy, water quality and sustainable technologies; and cell architecture and dynamics. Other areas of unique distinction include human trafficking, disability studies, hypertension and precision medicine. UToledo’s world class faculty members are visionary educators and cutting-edge researchers who received more than $46.4 million in funding.

   Cooperative Education (Co-op): Co-op is alternating periods of on-campus coursework with periods of full-time, paid work assignments directly related to the student's major. UToledo is one of just eight in the country that makes Co-op mandatory in the degree programs. Most UToledo degree programs offer Co-ops and Internships; especially College of Engineering’s co-op program consists of a minimum of three co-op experiences with a chance of two additional ones. 

   Beyond textbooks: Exposure, critical thinking, reflection, application - experiential learning at UToledo builds a well-rounded education. It’s about asking why, and more importantly, “why not?”.
