Miami University Teacher-Scholars
A Distinctive Approach to Undergraduate Excellence
"When scholars teach, they enhance instruction with evidence-based practices that elevate student learning and introduce cutting-edge research discoveries into the classroom. Miami has scaled this model, greatly enhancing our focus on undergraduate excellence. Undergraduate students at Miami receive a spectacular education because of the teacher-scholar model." Miami President, Gregory P. Crawford
