Miami University is an original Public Ivy research university located in the city of Oxford, Ohio, a picturesque town brimming with ideas and opportunities. Recently cited by Yahoo as the #3 College Town in the United States, its brick-lined streets offer charming shops, delicious eateries, and welcoming people.
From its start in 1809 as a small midwestern college to its transformation into a 21st-century international university, Miami has stood for two centuries as a model of higher education. With its ambitious liberal arts curriculum, it consistently ranks among the nation’s top public universities for the high quality of teaching and overall student experience.
Miami’s student body includes 16,500+ undergraduates and 2,300+ graduate students studying on the Oxford campus, 4,000+ studying on its regional campuses, and nearly 200 students per year studying in Luxembourg. The university offers over 100 bachelor’s programs, plus programs to prepare you for pre-professional study, as well as over 50 master’s, 14 doctoral, and 19 certificate programs spanning a wide range of academic disciplines.
At Miami, learning and personal development happen outside the classroom as much as they happen inside. With over 600 student organizations to choose from — including international organizations, fraternities and sororities, academic and career-focused groups, and special-interest clubs — there are immeasurable opportunities to get involved and broaden your academic experience. Many of these organizations are housed in the Armstrong Student Center, considered the family room for interactions that enhance student learning and personal and professional development.
Highlighted for its “vibrant, social atmosphere” by The Princeton Review, Miami’s Oxford campus covers 2500 acres, including over 32 miles of lush walking paths, modern facilities complemented by beautifully preserved buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as an array of housing options to meet the diverse needs of its students. True to Miami's tradition and identity, most first- and second-year students live on campus where they develop lasting friendships, engage with faculty and peers, and participate in university and community activities.
When it comes to athletics, Miami students are the team behind the team. Whether it's attending a home event, traveling to an away game as a member of Code Red, or interning in the department, all students make a difference on game day — and there are a lot of games to enjoy. With 19 varsity sports teams, the Miami RedHawks boast over 850 individual championships, 200 team conference championships, and 100 postseason appearances.
Because of this quintessential American university experience, Miami has become a popular choice among international students — currently, 6.6% of Oxford’s student body is international with 67 countries represented. Proud to serve as a platform for their creativity and collaboration, Miami works to guide all its students in conducting significant research, facilitating projects with real-world organizations, and developing the leadership skills top employers seek. When you enroll, you’ll not only join a network of more than 220,000 graduates across the globe who have gone on to achieve great success, but you’ll also become bonded together by a common pride and respect for the tradition of excellence that is the hallmark of the Miami University experience.
