  • Miami University’s curriculum is designed to foster student curiosity in the field, with over 30 upper level courses so that students can dive deep into their own interests in topics like artifact management, medicine, narrative, politics, primate behavior, and religion, or into world regions like Latin America, Native America, South Asia or the Middle East. Students also gain holistic training in the discipline with core courses that include labs to build skills in each of anthropology's four sub-fields:
    • Archaeology which explores human societies' past and present. Through survey and excavation, material science, and cultural traditions, archaeologists piece together how the past informs humanity's present.
    • Socio-cultural anthropology which studies and compares what people do, why and how they do things, what meaning they give to their actions, and what structural conditions shape local practices. Sociocultural anthropologists use ethnography and mixed methods in order to better understand and appreciate human diversity.
    • Biological anthropology investigates how evolutionary processes and environmental contexts affect the human body and its possibilities. It notably includes primatology, the study of non-human primates. Biological anthropologists examine anatomical, physiological, and behavioral variation to better understand human evolutionary heritage and potential.
    • Linguistic anthropology examines language and communicative practices as central to human coordination and interaction. Linguistic anthropologists detail how communicative practices within cultural settings define and narrate central human concerns with processes such as identity, power, and social change.

Eligibility & Entry Requirement

Academic Eligibility:

To apply for first-year admission as an international student, submit the following documents:

  • A recommendation is not required but may be provided on your behalf. This recommendation can be in the form of a letter; a school report completed by your school official; or a teacher evaluation. The recommendation must be submitted directly from a school official or teacher.
  • Completion of formal secondary education in a pre-university curriculum
    • This education must culminate in the award of a diploma or the issuance of a leaving certificate or matriculation certificate generally recognized as the educational qualification necessary for admission to higher studies.
    • Academic records include all secondary school studies, beginning with 9th grade through the most current available at the time of application. Proof of secondary school graduation is required before enrolling at Miami. All documents not originally issued in English must include an English translation. 

Indian Eligibility:

Indian students are eligible to apply if they meet the following eligibility criteria:

  •  If a student's native language is not English, you are required to submit scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Duolingo English Test, Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic, or provide alternative evidence of English language proficiency. 
  • While a valid TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, or PTE score can satisfy Miami University's English language proficiency requirement, this requirement can also be met through the following alternatives:
    • The student’s country of origin is also an English-speaking country and English is your native language.
    • An associate or bachelor's degree from a U.S. institution of higher education
    • Course equivalency of Miami University's English composition requirement at another U.S. university or community college (not English as a Second Language course). students must provide an official transcript showing a minimum grade of C or better.
    • Completion of ELS Language Center's Level 112. (Students who complete ELS Level 109 may be considered for conditional admission to the university through the ACE Program.)
    • Enrollment in AP English Language and Composition or AP English Literature in a US high school or high school that follows the US curriculum.
    • Enrollment in IB English A at either the Higher or Standard Level as part of a full IB Diploma program.
    • Graduation from a U.S. high school following three years of continuous enrollment will lead to placement in the ACE program unless additional proof of English Proficiency is also submitted. 
    • Most international students are not required to provide an ACT or SAT score, but they may use the ACT or SAT to satisfy English language proficiency requirements.

Note: Miami has chosen to make test scores optional for students applying to the university through Spring 2023 to ensure equitable opportunity for admission, scholarships, and honors programs due to the COVID-19.
