By the time you toss your Miami mortarboard in the air at graduation, you’re ready. For just about anything. You’ve made professional presentations. You’ve had internships and field experiences. You’ve networked with corporate leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and helpful Miami alumni. You’ll be ready to take your place in the world because you’ve already been there, exploring your possibilities.

Ready for anything.

A N D E V E R Y T H I N G .Miami’s reputation attracts four times as many employers to conduct on-campus interviews as other universities in our peer group. Why? Surveyed employers value what they describe as our “high caliber of students” who have received a “top tier and prestigious” education. The Office of Career Services sponsors one of the nation’s largest collegiate career fairs, as well as internship fairs and specialized career fairs for fine arts and teacher education students.

Working together, professors and students create practical solutions for real-world engineering problems.

Because CEC programs are focused on undergraduates, students conduct research and work together on real-world projects beginning in their first year with the professors who know them well.

Most engineering schools have a narrow technical focus. But Miami CEC students receive the well-rounded education that employers demand, focused on commu-nication skills and teamwork. And our Engineering Management major takes that practice a step further, combining engineering and business expertise, skills that lead to an impressive job placement rate of nearly 100%.

And what you eat is just as important as where you live. We have almost too many on-campus choices (28 of them!) to list: dining halls, cafés, specialty restaurants, convenience markets, and even a food truck. It’s like home cooking, if your home stretches from Brazil to the Pacific Rim!
