Overview

Our university was built on a hilltop in Akron - a word meaning "the highest point." For over 150 years, that's where we've set our sights, rising from one peak to another in engineering, business, technology, health care, and the arts and sciences. Bound and determined to meet every challenge, we continue to climb, to forge new paths and reach new heights - and we want you to join us. WE ARE AKRON. WE RISE TOGETHER.
