about ufThe University of Findlay was founded in 1882 as Findlay College by the citizens of Findlay and the Churches of God, General Conference. From its inception, the institution has served the higher edu-cation needs of students through programs of study that focus on career preparation and are grounded in the liberal arts.

Today, The University of Findlay is a forward-looking private university that is constantly seeking ways to better serve students and the community. UF is continually adapting programs and teaching meth-ods, and adopting new technology, to meet the needs of current students.

UF is located in Findlay, Ohio, a small Midwestern city that offers a high quality of life with opportu-nities for shopping, recreation, dining and more. In 2010, Site Selection magazine ranked Findlay as the 11th best micropolitan community in the U.S. and the Findlay-Hancock County area was named among the 100 Best Communities for Young People by America’s Promise Alliance.

The University of Findlay also was recognized in 2010 as a Promise Place with America’s Promise Al-liance, a designation that identifies the University as an organization that provides five developmental resources that young people need for success in life: caring adults, safe places, a healthy start, an effec-tive education and opportunities to help others.

The University of Findlay is authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission,* as well as the national accrediting organizations for athletic training, envi-ronmental, safety and occupational health management, nuclear medicine technology, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, physician assistant, social work and teacher education.
