Enrollments and Credit Hours
Miami University offers courses on three campuses and one learning center in Southwestern Ohio, as well as a European center in Luxembourg. Miami's enrollment goals emphasize quality: for Fall 2008, there were 15,009 applicants for the freshman class; 3,609 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.
