map)
Set in the rural town of Oxford, Ohio, Miami University takes great pride in the personal attention given to each and every student. Because of the school’s vast array of opportunity–from 100 major departments to 400 student organizations–each student is able to personalize and control his or her own education. At the same time students are guaranteed a strong, liberal education that complements their chosen major.
For nearly 200 years, Miami University has provided educational and professional opportunities to its students. In addition to academic prospects, Miami University offers experiential, hands-on volunteer programs that address issues like the environment, poverty alleviation and animal welfare. With its long history, the university has many traditions; for example, the Tri Delt Sundial behind the Warfield and MacMillian Halls is said to bring good luck to those who rub the turtles' heads.
Located just 35 miles from Cincinnati, the university is a short walk from uptown Oxford, which has a variety of cafes, restaurants and shops. The picturesque campus is a hidden gem with a variety of housing options like Learning-Living Communities, where students who share interests live in the same residence. Miami University also has two satellite campuses in Hamilton and Middletown, Ohio, which are smaller, two-year community colleges to which students must apply separately.

Admissions Information
As a selective institution, Miami University carefully weighs the qualifications of each applicant and looks at the whole individual. In particular, the admissions committee highly regards the applicant's personal qualities, his or her essays, test scores and secondary school record. Taking a vigorous course load with challenging classes is highly beneficial, and it is required to take at least three units of natural and social science during high school. In addition, a course of the fine arts is mandatory, including anything from art and dance to drama and music.
For applicants of the School of Fine Arts, a portfolio may be required for admission, depending on the proposed major. For the Farmer School of Business, a series of business admission requirements are necessary before advancing to regular business standing.
