This is the ground that holds the foundation of every step forward. The walls that hear the dreams you’ve only spoken to your journal. The oak trees that dare you to rise beside them.

This is where the present questions the past to blaze a better future. The one you’ll help create. The one you’re already creating.

These are the moments when who you are meets who you will become.

This is just the beginning.

This is MIAMI UNIVERSITY.

This is more than just a college campus.

In fact, U.S. News and World Report ranks us third among publics nationwide for undergraduate teaching.

That means you’ll be encouraged to explore your interests in new ways, involved in hands-on research and connected to career opportunities.

#3 for undergraduate teaching among publics nationwide

Studying abroad enhances your education and gives you an

understanding of world cultures, a valuable asset in both your

personal and professional life. 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

at our Luxembourg campus. That’s why we’re ranked in the

top 5 nationally for study abroad participation among public

doctoral institutions.

The John E. Dolibois European Center is the university’s historic chateau, our “home away from home” in Luxembourg.

With 100+ majors, you’ll find a program — or a few — that spark your interest. Miami is a place where you don’t have to choose one discipline. In fact, we encourage all students to explore their interests. You can even select a co-major, which is a program paired with a primary major that enhances your studies.

But it’s okay if you’re not sure what programs to commit to yet. University Studies is an exploratory major where you complete foundational course requirements while discovering possible avenues.
