The institution now known as The University of Akron was founded as Buchtel College in 1870 by the Ohio Universalist Convention, which was strongly influenced by the efforts, energy and financial support of Akronites, particularly industrialist John R. Buchtel. Our university was built on a hilltop in Akron — a word meaning “the highest point.” For the past 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. The University attracts students from a variety of backgrounds and geographical locations, with fall semester representation totalling 16,193 students from 46 states and 44 foreign countries.
