History

The University of Cincinnati created UC Blue Ash College, known then as Raymond Walters College, as a result of the federal Higher Education Act that became law in 1965. The legislation helped increase access to higher education for low and middle-income students by strengthening the educational resources for colleges and universities. In Ohio, those resources were invested into existing public universities to create regional colleges that are open access and offer low tuition. [2]

Under the supervision of the inaugural dean, Hilmar Kreuger, the college officially opened its doors on September 25, 1967 with an enrollment of 632 students.
