Mission

Our mission is to serve society by providing high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in the fields of computing, engineering, and nursing. We are committed to creating an environment for teaching, learning, and scholarship that is intellectually-stimulating, interactive, and innovative and in which our faculty, staff, and students realize their full potential. Our guiding principle is to provide professional education integrated with Miami University's traditional strength in liberal education.

We work to continually assess and improve teaching, learning, and critical thinking; to engage in scholarship of discovery, application, integration, and teaching; to contribute to the accumulated knowledge of the centuries through faculty and student research; to encourage creativity; and to promote the continuing intellectual growth of our community.
