The University of Miami offers an educational experience that goes far beyond academics. It’s a place where students can grow as individuals, connect with a diverse and vibrant community, and make a lasting impact.  What truly sets the University of Miami apart is its sense of community. The phrase “Canes Care for Canes” is more than a slogan—it’s a guiding philosophy that shapes the university’s culture. Faculty, staff, and students alike are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

One of the most powerful aspects of the University is the opportunity to engage in any of the 300+ clubs and organizations that align with students’ passions and interests. A rich network of identity-based student organizations is open to all students, regardless of background, and gender-inclusive housing is available.

UM awards merit-based scholarships to incoming undergraduate students based on their academic achievements. Students are automatically considered for an academic scholarship when they apply for admission to UM.

To be considered for our premier scholarships, which range up to the full cost of attendance, you must apply by the November 1 early deadline. Other merit scholarships range up to $28,000 annually.

Learn more about scholarship eligibility at miami.edu/scholarships.

First-year and transfer applicants may earn college credit before they matriculate at the University of Miami.

Keep in mind that credit evaluations will only take place after the student has been admitted to the University. Once all the required documentation has been submitted and processed, admitted students will be able to view a detailed transfer credit evaluation with any possible UM course equivalencies.

After enrollment in the University, students can view their transfer credits from dual enrollment and exams .
