University of Northwestern Ohio

The University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) is a private university in Lima, Ohio, United States. It was founded in 1920 and grants associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, and master's degrees across more than 50 disciplines within five constituent colleges. As of fall 2023, the university had an enrollment of approximately 2,600 students.

The institution, initially established as the Northwestern School of Commerce in 1920, remained under this name until 1970 and was located on North Elizabeth Street in Lima, Ohio.

Since 1970, the institution has undergone various changes in name and location. In 1970, it was rebranded as the Northwestern Business College and was relocated two years later to the Cable Road campus in 1972. From 1974 to 1990, the institution was known as the Northwestern Business College-Technical Center, and later as the Northwestern College from 1990 to 2000. Since August 1, 2000, the institution has been officially designated as the University of Northwestern Ohio.

In January 2024, the UNOH Development Corporation purchased Harry's Hideaway in order to improve access to the UNOH Event Center, a 25,000-square foot building on North Cable Road.

UNOH is structured into five colleges offering a variety of academic programs, including master's, bachelor's, and associate degrees, as well as diplomas and post-associate certificate programs:

Some colleges collaborate with external institutions, such as the College of Applied Technologies, which offers a degree in Motorsports Marketing in partnership with Monster Jam University.

The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education. Specific programs at the institution are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, or Partnership for Air Conditioning Heating Refrigeration Accreditation – Air-Conditioning Refrigeration Institute.

In 1994, the University of Northwestern Ohio was designated by the United States Department of Energy as one of six original Alternate Fuels training facilities in the United States. It is also a National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium Training Center.
