A Close Community

Your college career begins with an orientation that

will acquaint you with our diverse campus. Urbana

is small enough to foster close connections between

students and faculty, but large enough to provide

cutting-edge programs that ensure success. Here

you’ll create life-long friendships by living with

other students in the residence halls, dining at The

Commons, or grabbing a late-night snack at the

White Family Grill in the Student Center. The

geographic, racial, and social diversity of Urbana’s

students makes our campus a dynamic place. Our

picturesque 128-acre campus offers the safety of a

small community less than an hour away from the

metropolitan communities of Dayton and Columbus.

A Support System

At Urbana, we want our exceptional students to

reach their full potential. Resources like the

Student Success Center provide free one-on-one

tutoring, and the Career Center’s highly qualified

staff will connect you with employment and

internship opportunities. The dedicated faculty

provide students with individual attention that is

key for growth.

An Overflow of Opportunities

If you’re interested in giving back, Urbana is the right

place for you. Our students have plenty of chances to

serve by helping families in need, assisting at public

events, tutoring young children, and by serving as peer

mentors, U-Team leaders, and resident assistants. You’ll

have opportunities to volunteer within the community or

travel to other locations. The volunteer spirit is an

important part of the Urbana experience. It’s part of

what makes the warm, friendly atmosphere that sets our

college apart.CALL US TOLL FREE 8 0 0 . 7 8 7. 2 2 6 2

athletic training, business, education, or any of our

other programs of study – you will be prepared to

exceed the high expectations of the professional

world. No matter which of our academic majors

you select, Urbana offers a solid, liberal arts based

education. This experience encourages students to

immerse themselves in their studies while

simultaneously building the skills needed to thrive

after graduation.

With the Future in Mind

We understand the importance of connecting academics

to the real world. Urbana Quest, offered through Career

Services, can help you make connections with potential

future employers and graduate schools. With Career

Services as your guide, you can build sharp interviewing

skills, craft an impressive resume, or find the graduate

school that’s right for you.

The fact that Urbana students are well-prepared is

evident by their success – 89% are employed or have

continued their education six months after graduation.

Of those employed, 78% are working in a field related

to their major. Our graduates become attorneys, social

workers, business managers, athletic trainers, teachers,

financial analysts, police officers, and more. If you can

dream the goal, Urbana will help you achieve it.

Motivated students should

apply to the Honors

Program. It’s an experience

that provides challenging

academics and builds

leadership. Honors students

have the opportunity to

study abroad. Our students

have studied in Belize,

Ghana and other countries.

Jump In

Learning is not confined to the classroom! Our

students travel abroad for research, service-learning,

and study purposes. The span of people and

cultures at Urbana allows for a broader dialogue

and a better understanding of our global community

– some of our students come from as far as China.

My work on the Student ActivitiesCommittee has made my self-confidence

shoot through the roof. There are so manyopportunities here to make great friends.
