Miami University is designated one of the 2016-2017 STEM JobsSM Approved Colleges by Victory Media.

Victory Media, connecting young professionals with education and career opportunities, is the creator of STEM JobsSM media and resources for students interested in science, technology, engineering and math.

The 2016-2017 STEM Jobs Approved Colleges survey rates universities, colleges, community colleges and trade schools on their ability and responsiveness to connecting programs and students with high-demand, high-growth STEM occupations.

Institutions submitting completed STEM Jobs Approved Colleges surveys were scored on publicly available data and responses to proprietary questions around four key indicators that demonstrate the extent to which a school works to:

  1. Provide opportunities for students to explore STEM subjects.
  2. Promote partnerships that foster STEM literacy and connect classrooms to careers.
  3. Ensure coursework and activities that have a focus on careers.
  4. Promote STEM programs that actively attract and engage underrepresented student populations.

Miami will be featured in STEM Jobs Magazine and online as part of the entire 2016-2017 list of STEM JobsSM Approved Colleges.
