Profile

Miami University, Oxford, is a public research university located in Oxford, OH. Students can choose from 120 majors, and can opt for a number of programs that focus on global markets. The China Business Program includes hands-on experience overseas and language study, as well as traditional business coursework. The campus is home to a strong Greek community, with 40 fraternities and sororities represented on campus. The school has a number of longstanding traditions, including rubbing the turtle heads on a campus sundial for good luck, and kissing under the Upham Arch to make a relationship last. Perhaps it is due to this custom that Miami has one of the highest percentages of alumni who get married later in life – the school sends out thousands of valentines each year to these couples, known as “Miami Mergers.” Notable alumni include U.S. President Benjamin Harrison and NFL Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The RedHawks participate in NCAA Division I athletics.
