As the largest private university in Ohio, the University of Dayton's complete learning environment offers something for everyone: more than 70 academic programs in 4 accredited divisions, a 13 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio and a friendly, welcoming community.
All students are encouraged to conduct research with faculty, gain real-world experience with an internship or co-op, study abroad and much more. It's no wonder U.S. News & World Report named UD a top ten national Catholic university!
From gene mutation research to groundwater protection to laser studies, you will find numerous ways to explore your interests. You can study glacial formations and volcanoes in Iceland, learn about alternative forms of medicine in India, work with a nonprofit organization to develop eco-efficient cookstoves in developing countries and much more.
An education at the University of Dayton is an exceptional value. We work hard to make the cost of a first-rate education affordable through our scholarship program. In 2006, more than 97 percent of incoming first-year students received some form of institutional aid (scholarships and grants).
The Office of Admission offers several campus visit options to fit your schedule. Request a visit online or call our Campus Visit Coordinator at 800-837-7433. You can also explore UD by taking our virtual tour.
