BROADEN YOUR VIEWStudying abroad enhances your education and gives you an understanding of world cultures, a valuable asset personally and in the job market. Miami’s worldwide programs give you choices to fit your budget and schedule, from Winter Term or Summer Term, to a class trip over spring break, or a semester or yearlong customized experience.
FROM MICROSCOPES TO MACROECONOMICSResearch is important at Miami in every area of study. And we don’t reserve research for graduate students. Each year, more than 2,000 undergraduates conduct hands-on research with professors and develop impressive credentials for future employment or admission to top graduate schools.
Learningis not aspectator sport.

We take your success
Although Miami is a medium-size school, we have a BIG reputation for giving our students the kind of personal attention and career preparation that is almost impossible to find at a mega-university. Our top priority is teaching and mentoring undergraduate students.
We attract nationally recognized faculty who love to teach. Our faculty will en- courage you to get involved — and find out if a major is right for you — by guiding you in creative pursuits, recruiting real-world clients for class projects, and introducing you to internship and career connections. Miami creates an engaged learning environment that helps students reach their goals and prepare for a lifetime of success.

DEVELOP YOUR INTERESTS, MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDS.Your life here can combine the ideal college campus and the classic college town of Oxford, Ohio.

Our comfortable residence halls are clustered around green, tree-shaded spaces. It’s where students hang out on the patios or toss a football on the lawn. And where you will make lifelong friends.
And what you eat is just as important as where you live. We have almost too many on-campus choices (28 of them!) to list: dining halls, cafés, specialty restaurants, and convenience markets. It’s like home cooking, if your home stretches from Brazil to the Pacific Rim!

too many choices?
With over 600 student orgs (and clubs being added all the time), you’ll likely find more than one that captures your interest. You’ll just need to find a few extra hours in the day. Check some out at MiamiOH.edu/hub.
IS THERE SUCH A THING AS
By the time you toss your Miami mortarboard in the air at graduation, you’re ready. For just about anything. You’ve made professional presentations. You’ve had internships and field experiences. You’ve networked with corporate executives, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and helpful Miami alumni. You’ll be ready to take your place in the world because you’ve already been there, exploring your possibilities.

One measure of a Miami education is the endorsement of the companies that hire our graduates. Employers conduct four times as many on-campus interviews at Miami when compared to peer institutions. Why? Surveyed employers value what they describe as our “high caliber of students” who have received a “top tier and prestigious” education. The Center for Career Exploration and Success sponsors one of the nation’s largest collegiate career fairs, and offers specialized teacher and architecture and design job fairs.
