“The Engaged University”

¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ, a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ-centered public university founded in 1809, has built its success through an unwavering commitment to liberal arts undergraduate education and the active engagement of its ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs in both curricular and co-curricular life. It is deeply committed to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ success, builds great ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ and alumni loyalty, and empowers its ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs, faculty and staff to become engaged citizens who use their knowledge and skills with integrity and compassion to improve the future of our global society.

Miami provides the opportunities of a major university while offering the personalized attention found in the best small colleges.  It values teaching and intense engagement of faculty with ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs through its teacher-scholar model, by inviting ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs into the excitement of research and discovery.  Miami’s faculty are nationally prominent scholars and artists who contribute to Miami, their own disciplines and to society by the creation of new knowledge and art.  The University supports ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs in a highly involving residential experience on the Oxford campus and provides access to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs, including those who are time and place bound, on its regional campuses. Miami provides a strong foundation in the traditional liberal arts for all ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs, and it offers nationally recognized majors in arts and sciences, business, education, engineering, and creative arts, as well as select graduate programs of excellence.  As an inclusive community, Miami strives to cultivate an environment where diversity and difference are appreciated and respected.

Miami instills in its ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs intellectual depth and curiosity, the importance of personal values as a measure of character, and a commitment to life-long learning. Miami emphasizes critical thinking and independent thought, an appreciation of diverse views, and a sense of responsibility to our global future.
