Diversity and high caliber define largest incoming class

Top students seek a Miami degree

Not only is the incoming Class of 2023 academically accomplished, it is also the largest and most diverse first-year cohort in Miami University’s 210-year history.

As of May 1, the national deadline for students to confirm their college enrollment, more than 4,500 students had confirmed Miami as their school of choice, an increase of more than 10 percent compared to one year ago. Selected from the most academically accomplished applicant pool ever received, the incoming class boasts an ACT average of 28.1 and a grade point average of 3.78.

The largest number of domestic students of color in Miami’s history, 732, confirmed Miami as their choice, a 3.1% increase compared to last year on this date.

"We are thrilled that these students have chosen Miami and excited to welcome the Class of 2023 to campus in August," Miami President Gregory Crawford said.

"At Miami, students don't simply absorb knowledge - they create knowledge. They participate in meaningful research, discovery, invention and scholarly contributions to make a difference in the world. They collaborate with faculty, publish in peer-reviewed journals, share in intellectual property patents and see the impact of their own ideas come to fruition," he said.

Miami's student-centered focus recognized nationally

This student-centered focus has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, which has named Miami as one of the top institutions in the country for its commitment to undergraduate teaching every year since the list started in 2009.

“Miami continues to be a destination for high-achieving and innovative student leaders from Ohio, across the U.S., and around the globe,” said Susan Schaurer, associate vice president for strategic enrollment management and marketing.

“We are excited for these students to bring their accomplishments, energies, diverse backgrounds and academic and professional ambitions to Miami in the fall, and we are eager to see the impact they have on campus and throughout the world in the next four years and beyond,” she said.

With one of the top graduation rates among public universities, Miami consistently ranks among the nation’s “Best Value” universities.
