ABOUT MIAMI UNIVERSITY
Note: For much more information about Miami University, please see the "Miami University" entry in Wikipedia.
Affiliation: Public coeducational university of the State of Ohio
Established: 1809; named for the Miami Indian Tribe that inhabited the area now known as the Miami Valley region of Ohio. From a U.S. president (Benjamin Harrison) to the nation's poet laurate (Rita Dove), Miami's alumni have shaped its rich history spanning nearly two hundred years.
Locations: Main campus in Oxford, Ohio (35 miles north of Cincinnati) on about 2,000 acres (8 km˛); regional campuses in Hamilton and Middletown, Ohio; European Center in Luxembourg.
Motto: Prodesse quam conspici ("To accomplish rather than to be conspicuous")
Endowment: $281 million USD
Staff: 1,393, full and part-time
President: Dr. David C. Hodge
Philosophy: Miami is a residential university with a focus on teaching undergraduates. A liberal education core complements the more specialized studies of the majors.
Enrollment: Approximately 15,300 undergraduates and 1,700 graduate students on the Oxford campus; approximately 2,700 students on the Middletown Campus and approximately 3,400 students on the Hamilton Campus.
Diversity: Multicultural students make up 8.65 percent of the first-year class and 8.2 percent of the undergraduate student body (based on Fall 2005 enrollment).
Degree Programs: Miami offers the bachelor's degree in over 100 areas of study and the master's degree in more than 50 areas; Miami also offers a number of doctoral degrees. Several associate's degrees are available through study on the regional campuses.
Graduation Rates: According to 2004 data, 68 percent of Miami's multicultural students graduate within six years, compared to 47 percent nationally. The latest NCAA data shows that Miami's graduation rates are among the highest nationally, ninth among NCAA Division I public universities (80 percent), and first in Ohio.
Cost: For 2006–2007, tuition and fees for undergraduates total $22,943 per year; Ohio residents receive a minimum of $11,080 in Ohio resident scholarships. Room and board charges are $8,140. All students accepted to Miami are automatically considered for scholarships. In the 2006 first-year class, 21 were selected for Harrison, 339 for Honors, and 766 for Oxford Scholars.
Calendar: First semester begins late August, ends late December; second semester begins early January, ends early May. Four Summer sessions are also offered and are staggered throughout the summer months from May through July.
Faculty: Miami has the highest percentage of full-time faculty teaching courses of any public university in Ohio (Ohio Board of Regents, 2004). This allows students many opportunities to conduct research with a mentoring professor. The undergraduate student/faculty ratio is 16:1, and the average class size is 22 (based on Spring 2005 enrollment).
Rankings: The 2006 U.S.News & World Report college rankings lists Miami University 26th among the top public universities in the nation based on academic quality. Business Week magazine ranked Miami's Richard T. Farmer School of Business 17th among the top undergraduate business schools in the nation. (2006)
Atmosphere: The tree-shaded lawns of the Oxford campus are bordered by gracious Georgian-style buildings, inspiring poet Robert Frost to declare our campus "the most beautiful college there is."
