So what is “liberal education”?
“A traditional strength of Miami University is its emphasis
on liberal education. Miami University was founded on the
belief that a liberal education provides the best possible
framework for life in a changing world. That emphasis
on liberal studies continues today and is referred to as the
Miami Plan for Liberal Education, or the Global Miami
Plan.”

Liberal education…
“…complements specialized studies in your major and
provides a broadened context for exploring social,
academic, political, and professional choices. It is
designed to help students understand and creatively
transform human culture and society by giving students
the tools to ask questions, examine assumptions,
exchange views with others, and become a better global
citizen.”

Global Miami Plan Requirements
Each Foundation course incorporates written
communication and advances critical thinking as well as
at least two additional competencies. The Foundation
component enables students to gain a breadth of
knowledge across multiple domains of learning.
