Get a Miami education at an affordable cost, Miami’s regional campuses have the lowest tuition rate of all regional campuses in Southwestern Ohio. With our lower cost and abundant scholarship resources, students can often minimize their student loan debt by taking classes for two or more years on our campus before relocating to the Oxford campus. You can relocate from Miami’s Regional Campuses to the Oxford campus after completing just 20 semester hours in good academic standing.
Of course the quality of your education counts. Students will find a challenging array of classes taught by our outstanding Miami faculty -- faculty who write textbooks, edit scholarly journals, conduct research and earn high honors for their dedication to teaching.
Learning isn’t confined to the classroom.

Test scores may be used by some departments for scholarship awards or possibly for advanced admission to selective programs such as nursing.
