Miami University
Strong academics, highly personal instruction, energetic campus life, successful graduates — Miami sets the standard for public higher education on one of America’s most beautiful campuses.
Miami University consistently ranks among the top public universities in the nation, cited often as providing "outstanding examples of academic programs … believed to lead to student success" and as a “Best Value” among national public colleges. Miami combines a liberal arts foundation for all undergraduate majors with the active engagement of students in both curricular and co-curricular life. One third of students study overseas at Miami's European Center in Luxembourg and in countries around the globe; more than half participate in internships. Graduate students and undergrads participate with faculty in research and scholarship activities. Retention and graduation rates are some of the highest in NCAA Division I schools.
The Community
Miami students and faculty have an intense appreciation for a global view and multicultural approaches to learning.
Miami is a residential school with almost all our students living on campus or in Oxford. Miami's residence halls are purposefully small so students get to know each other. Studies show that students living in residence halls perform better academically and participate more fully in campus life. Miami’s residence halls and award-winning dining services are located throughout campus, close to classroom buildings, the recreational sports center, and uptown Oxford. Each first-year hall has a theme so students can choose to live with others who share similar interests. An academic adviser also lives in each first-year hall to help with course selection, college-life questions, and academic progress. Hundreds of student organizations provide opportunities to meet people, build leadership skills, enhance academic interests, and encourage active participation.
