Research

In a typical year, more than 60% of all Miami students working on independent research opportunities come from the College of Arts and Science. These interdisciplinary and experiential learning collaborations enable you to work closely with faculty mentors or to develop your own independent research projects — on campus, online, and around the world — whether you are a first-year undergraduate student, a graduate degree candidate, or a member of our faculty.

Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies

The Havighurst Center is devoted to joint research by Miami faculty with other scholars from Russia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia, and from other American universities; to service and learning activities that provide a greater understanding of this region for the student community; and to programs designed to foster interdisciplinary research on the most important questions relating to the future of this area.

Institute for the Environment and Sustainability

The Institute for the Environment & Sustainability (IES) educates students as professionals and global citizens through interdisciplinary programs in environmental science and sustainability, and provides leadership in areas of research and outreach that address environmental problems and promote a more sustainable society.

The IES administers 3 undergraduate co-majors, 1 minor, and 1 professional master's degree.
