Sinclair: Meeting the needs

The success of Sinclair is evident in its history—dating back to 1887. The college was founded by David A. Sinclair as an educational program in the YMCA. That small start blossomed into a full service education in the downtown Dayton campus, and more recently, expanded to Huber Heights and Englewood learning centers. The Courseview campus in Warren County which opened fall 2007, is part of Sinclair's mission to make education very accessible to the region's citizens.

Plus, with Sinclair's five online academic programs, students can truly get an associate degree anytime, anyplace.
