University of Toledo

The University of Toledo is a public four-year institution of higher learning. It is located in the city of Toledo, in northwest Ohio. The University of Toledo is a member of the Mid-American Conference.

The school was originally founded in 1872, and offered only art degrees when it opened in 1875. The school was forced to close in 1878 for six years due to financial difficulties. The campus expanded in the late 1920s to its current location. It was not until 1967 that the college earned its university status and began collecting state funding. Most recently, in 2006, the University of Toledo merged with the Medical University of Ohio.
