Miami University is a public university based in Oxford, Ohio, with additional regional campuses in Hamilton and Middletown and a learning center in West Chester. Founded in 1809, it is one of the oldest public universities in the United States. The institution enrolls undergraduate and graduate students across a broad academic portfolio that includes arts and science, business, education, engineering and computing, creative arts, and health-related fields. Its work combines residential undergraduate education with graduate study, research, and regional access for students in southwest Ohio.
The university organizes its academic mission through divisions including the College of Arts and Science, the Farmer School of Business, the College of Creative Arts, the College of Education, Health and Society, and the College of Engineering and Computing. Miami University also operates specialized programs and centers that extend its reach beyond the main campus. One concrete example is the John W. Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship, which supports entrepreneurship education and venture development. Another is the university’s Dolibois European Center in Luxembourg, which gives students an international study option tied directly to Miami’s curriculum.
