Its residential programs involve students in life-enhancing activities that build leadership, character, and lifelong friendships. Retention and graduation rates are some of the highest in NCAA Division I schools. The campus in Oxford, Ohio, is one of the most beautiful in America. More than 151,000 Miami alumni are located around the globe, serving as professional and community leaders.
