We welcome students from all class years and will customize your involvement according to your current knowledge and skill level, while also ensuring you grow and learn.

We are also a beer lovers’ hub, with many breweries for touring and tasting. If you like big cities, Cincinnati is only a few hours from major midwestern cities, including Columbus, Indianapolis, and Chicago.
