This commitment to academic excellence is also demonstrated in our exceptional graduate rate, consistently ranked among those of the top 10 major public universities nationwide. We believe this record of success, which prompted Education Trust to identify Miami as a "model university," remains a reflection of the personal attention our students receive through a comprehensive advising system, a dedicated, accessible faculty, and a wealth of academic resources.
