Miami Online: Meet Miami University’s reinvented online campus
System-wide unification of online academic programs launches new era of education at Miami
With a system-wide unification of online academic programs, Miami University has launched a new era of academic accessibility, affordability, and flexibility with its newly centralized online campus, Miami Online.
Miami’s reimagined online university offers dozens of short-term programs – Microcredentials, certificates, and professional education – as well as full undergraduate and graduate degrees. Miami Online serves students at all stages of education and life, including working adults who need new skills for career advancement, those who want to pursue or complete their first college degree, college graduates whose lives are too demanding for on-campus graduate school, or lifelong learners.
The new Miami Online leverages 25 years of online education experience through Miami University Regionals’ E-Campus, combining it with graduate and professional education programs developed on Miami’s Oxford campus and united under the Miami Online banner.
“This bold vision for online learning at Miami University brings together our best online education leaders to meet the evolving needs of all Miami learners,” Miami President Gregory Crawford said. “It’s an exciting opportunity for us to move forward and break new ground, reimagining the online education space and redefining what it can achieve.”
Pricing varies based on the credential or degree. However, Miami Online’s tuition is among the lowest in Ohio for undergraduate degrees and many programs. Non-Ohio resident undergraduate costs are the same or just modestly higher than costs for Ohio residents.
"Online education is a pivotal part of the future of higher education," Miami University Provost Elizabeth Mullenix said. "As demographics shift and the demand for flexibility and customization increases, Miami Online enables us to expand our offerings without compromising the quality education we are known for providing."
As an extension of Ohio’s No. 1 public school for return on investment, Miami Online serves adult learners throughout the state and beyond with affordable and flexible academic options so they can achieve their educational and career goals without interrupting their lives.
“Students will have the opportunity to receive a world-class education in a way that fits seamlessly into their lives, ensuring that access to learning is as dynamic as their ambitions,” Mullenix said.
From self-paced professional education programs that can be completed in a few weeks to months-long Microcredentials or longer-term undergraduate or graduate degrees, Miami Online programming is designed to meet business and workforce development needs now and in the future.
“We are poised for additional growth,” said Ande Durojaiye, vice president of Miami University Regionals and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Applied Science. “We will continue to develop leading-edge educational programs for adult learners while we build and strengthen relationships with local, regional, and national organizations to ensure that our programs serve society and that our students and graduates are well prepared for in-demand careers.”
