Oxford Relocation Option for Education Majors
Miami University Oxford and Regionals have worked together to create a pathway for Education majors to obtain their degree between both campuses. The Oxford relocation option involves beginning your degree program on Regionals campuses and relocating to Oxford campus halfway through your program for degree completion.
The benefits of this program for relocating students are:
- a program based on Regionals tuition prices for the semesters taking classes at the Regionals; half of your program will be at Regionals prices before relocation
- flexibility in course offerings, including online options
- more class options on Oxford campus
- getting the “Oxford experience” without paying four years of Oxford tuition
- a dedicated relocation advisor
Relocating Primary Education PK-5 Majors

- Relocate after completing Block #1 and other prerequisites in either Fall or Spring

Relocating Middle Childhood Education Majors (MCE)

Relocating Adolescent and Young Adult Majors (AYA)
- Option to complete 3-5 semesters at Regionals, depending on concentrations and preferences with the exception of one prerequisite course (for ELA majors) taken either semester of Sophomore year on Oxford campus

*Talk to your advisor about prerequisites and requirements for transfer for each program.
Financial Aid and Campus/Class Options
Depending on program specifics, full time Regional students have the option to take a majority of their classes on Regional campuses, and the remaining classes on Oxford campus, for Regional tuition price during the same academic term. This option is available only before students relocate to Oxford in the second half of their program. For example, take 3 non-blocked courses at the Regionals and 2 non-blocked courses at Oxford and a student would continue to pay Regional tuition. For more information and how taking classes on Oxford campus before relocation works with your program requirements, talk with an academic advisor.
Students who are interested in the relocation option and have financial need can inquire about scholarship availability. There are both external scholarship opportunities, as well as university-based scholarships. Be sure to have a FAFSA submitted for Miami scholarship possibilities.
