Inside the Library

Students entering Miami University as a first-semester freshman who have completed substantial college-level coursework (30 hours or more) may be able to complete some of Miami's degree programs in three years. Students in this group typically have course credit for Miami from one or more of the following:

  • Credit earned through successful examination in the following exams: Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
  • Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) or Dual Enrollment
  • Credit earned at community colleges or technical schools
  • Credit earned through military training programs and coursework
