Enrollments and Credit Hours
Miami University offers courses on three campuses in Southwestern Ohio, as well as a European center in Luxembourg. The main campus in Oxford, Ohio is limited by the Ohio legislature to an enrollment cap of 17,000 students. Miami's enrollment goals emphasize quality: for Fall 2006, there were 15,468 applicants for the freshman class; 3,646 new freshmen were enrolled, with the middle 50% of those students having ACT scores between 24 and 29. Because applications consistently exceed space in the freshman class, Miami University has not experienced and does not expect any marked decline in enrollment. However, due to small yearly variations in freshman yield and the number of students graduating, as well as changes in graduate enrollment, overall enrollment tends to fluctuate from year to year.

Graduation and Retention Rates
Some basic statistics on Miami's graduation and retention rates for new freshmen are contained on the Student Right to Know web pages. This federally required reporting follows the progress of cohorts of first time, full time new freshmen for 6 years from the time they begin college.
Students who do not complete a degree at Miami may transfer to other schools for a variety of reasons. Only around 5% of beginning freshmen at Miami do not complete a degree or show any transfer school enrollment:

Time to Degree
Miami's graduation rates are among the highest in the nation for public universities. However, some parents and prospective students may want more information on why some students require more than 4 years to graduate:
For first time, full time new freshmen beginning in Fall 2001 who earned a bachelors degree at Miami, the average time to earn the degree was 3.86 years.
Here are some of the factors influencing the time to earn a bachelors degree at Miami:
Unearned Hours by Length of Time to Graduate
GPA by Length of Time to Graduate
AP, CLEP & Transfer Hours by Length of Time to Graduate
Total Hours by Length of Time to Graduate
In summary, the length of time to graduation at Miami is strongly influenced by academic performance: better grades, more AP courses, more college credits earned in high school, and fewer hours failed/dropped at Miami all lead to shorter times to earn a degree.
We also examined whether attempting to earn multiple degrees (e.g. a B.A. and a B.S.) and/or multiple majors influenced time to degree. We found no evidence that people who earned multiple majors/degrees took longer to finish college (thus no charts on this subject are shown). Certainly, some students who struggled with a particular major, then earned a degree in a different major, took more than 4 years to finish their degree. However, those students are not numerous enough to show up as an overall trend.
