Benefits
  • Priority Class Registration: After their first semester at college, Honors students have the opportunity to register before other students on campus.
  • Summer Tuition Credit: Honors students who meet certain requirements are eligible to receive a tuition credit for up to 8 hours of summer study, for use either on campus or in any Miami-sponsored study abroad program.
  • Honors Courses: Each year the Honors Program offers over 90 small learning-enhanced seminars that foster close contact with faculty and peers; interactive discussions and activities; and stimulating class assignments that intellectually challenge students.
  • Research Funding: The Honors Program supports undergraduate research in the following ways:
    • Honors students may apply for funds to help pay for expenses related to research projects or travel expenses related to presenting their research.
    • Each year, two upper-class Honors students are awarded a Research Scholar Room, which partially funds their housing for the academic year in a single room in a residence hall, and the use of a laptop computer.
  • Transcript Notation: Students completing the University Honors Program will have "University Honors" or "University Honors with Distinction" as a permanent notation on their college transcript.
  • Housing: We offer upper-class students the opportunity to live in one of two upper-class Honors & Scholars residence halls which are currently Wells and Bishop Hall. Both halls are centrally located on Miami's campus close to King Library, academic buildings, and uptown Oxford.

  Through this Program and the diverse array of opportunities it offers, I am surrounded by a group of motivated, capable individuals with the passion and persistence to learn not only from faculty, but also from each other.
