Above all, our goal is to create a diverse and inclusive culture.
Miami University, established in 1809, is located in Oxford, Ohio. Ranked among the top 50 national public universities by U.S. News & World Report, Miami is recognized as one of the nation's most outstanding undergraduate institutions. With a student body of nearly 19,000, Miami effectively combines a wide range of strong academic programs with the personal attention ordinarily found only at much smaller institutions.
Opportunities for engagement
Our focus on personal attention is enhanced through the study in selected disciplines by graduate students, who, along with undergraduates, participate with faculty in significant research and scholarship activities. Miami also offers vibrant residential, community-based, and international programs involving students in life-enhancing activities that build leadership and develop citizenship, character, and lifelong friendships.
Strong undergraduate teaching
Along with countless opportunities to gain practical experience, Miami is distinguished by a faculty who love to teach and mentor students. In fact, the U.S. News & World Report rankings have recognized Miami as a top 10 university in the US in the category of "Strong Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching" for 10+ years. We believe that this commitment is also demonstrated in our record of exceptional retention and graduation rates, which remain some of the highest in NCAA Division I schools.
