WHY ARTS AND SCIENCE?

At Miami University's College of Arts and Science, you’ll get a broad and
diverse education that offers the "best of both worlds" — opportunities and
resources typically found at much larger universities in a more intimate,
personalized, interactive environment. You’ll gain critical thinking and
communication skills through our rich diversity of rigorous academic
opportunities and experiences. You'll cultivate intellect and creativity as we
work toward the common good. And you'll develop the key building blocks to a
happy, successful career in our ever-changing, globally minded workforce.
Undergraduate Programs Combined and Graduate Programs


EXPLORE THE SCOPE AND DIVERSITY OF OUR MAJORS AND OPPORTUNITIES. PREPARE FOR A
FULFILLING CAREER.




NATURAL AND BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

CAS offers a wealth of immersive programs spanning biological science, physical
and environmental science, data science, and mathematics. These areas
incorporate the extraction of data to examine the fundamentals of how things
work, exist, and interact within both the known and theoretical universe, at all
scales – from the astronomical to the nano.

Starting your first year, your professors will encourage you to join their
research teams, where you can make real contributions not only in the lab but
also at major conferences and in scholarly journals. These experiences will give
you a strong advantage for professional or graduate school acceptance as well as
rewarding careers in both the private and public sectors.

But your opportunities don’t stop there. You will find plenty of practical,
career-focused experiences in such diverse offerings as our pre-healthcare
preceptorships, summer geological field camps, the annual spring DataFest, and
numerous internships, scholarships, and study abroad programs.


SOCIAL SCIENCES

The wide variety of social science programs at CAS will plunge you into the
roots of human nature and society. Our students are interested in exploring
individual interpersonal interactions, analyzing the behaviors of social
sub-groups, and understanding larger cultural and societal norms. 

For example, Speech Pathology and Audiology majors study communication
disorders, language development, and hearing. Psychology majors focus on human
behavior, brain development, thought, and feelings. And Political Science majors
examine issues of local and national governance, diplomacy and global politics,
and social and political change. 

Our experiential learning opportunities include research, study away/abroad,
internships, and scholarships. From the “inside the beltway” internship
experiences at Inside Washington, to the guidance and networking resources
provided by the Sue J. Henry Center for Pre-Law Education, to the on-the-ground,
real-world impact of the Social Justice Internship Program, social science
majors find numerous pathways to exciting careers.


HUMANITIES

Humanities students in CAS delve into a vast range of fields devoted to the
examination of the vibrancy of the human experience, how it is expressed, and
the ways in which the intricacies of human values have shaped the world around
us. 

Whether you’re tackling a world language, analyzing the origin of ancient texts,
understanding how people consume various media, exploring the perspectives of
global cultures, or even designing your own course of study, the humanities will
guide you along a promising career path and sense of purpose. They also pair
well with majors in business, science and technology, healthcare, and much
more. 

Engage in research with top-notch faculty and participate in numerous resources
and events with the Miami University Humanities Center. Beyond our wide variety
of study abroad opportunities, you’ll discover our popular “Inside”
career-focused internships in Hollywood, Washington, New York, London, and
Chicago, all of which provide the chance to network with successful Miami
alumni.

MEET OUR TEACHER-SCHOLARS 


 * STEVEN CONN
   
   W.E. Smith Professor
   History
   College of Arts and Science
   
   "What I most enjoy about teaching at Miami is the extent to which I am able
   to experiment with new methods and to try out new ideas with students who are
   keen to try new things too. I have the flexibility to explore things that I
   think students will find interesting or which are driving my own scholarly
   interests at a given moment. I think my scholarship has enriched my teaching
   but I know beyond a doubt that teaching Miami students has enriched my
   scholarship."
   
   Teacher-Scholar Profiles


 * RODNEY COATES
   
   Professor
   Global and Intercultural Studies
   College of Arts of Science
   
   "As a teacher-scholar, I actively engage my students in research, knowledge
   production, and critical reflection. Miami University encourages excellence
   in its students and its faculty. It is a place where the teacher-scholar
   model becomes how we foster critical inquiry and maximize student
   achievement. At Miami, it is not through indoctrination and memorization, but
   student engagement and scholarship by which learning is accomplished."
   
   Teacher-Scholar Profiles


 * RENATE CRAWFORD
   
   Adjunct Professor
   Physics
   College of Arts of Science
   
   "The teacher-scholar model enables me to lift complicated concepts out of the
   textbook and show real-world examples to reinforce the underlying physics.
   Students are introduced to contemporary translational and applied research as
   they learn the basic principles of physics. Faculty at Miami are both
   teachers and scholars, transforming their classrooms through research,
   creating a vibrant teaching and learning environment, introducing students to
   what researchers and scholars are thinking about in their disciplines."

   Teacher-Scholar Profiles


 * CAMERON HAY-ROLLINS
   
   Chair and Professor
   Anthropology
   College of Arts and Science
   
   "Research is an adventure. As an anthropologist, I seek to understand how
   people cope with suffering, illness, and inequity.  Whether in Indonesia,
   India, or Indiana, I venture into the unknowns of research to find evidence
   of how we might promote resilience, well-being, and equity in the most
   vulnerable moments of people’s lives. Research is an exciting activity, and
   Miami’s teacher-scholar model allows me to invite students into scholarly
   conversations and the surprising joy of pursuing research adventures."
   
   Teacher-Scholar Profiles


 * EMILY LEGG
   
   Associate Professor
   English
   College of Arts and Science
   
   "As faculty, it is so invigorating to find that Miami students are reflective
   and active participants in their learning experiences, rather than just
   sitting back and passively consuming the materials I’ve provided. Together,
   we all strive to create a knowledge-making community in the classroom, where
   I find myself both teaching and constantly learning from students in ways
   that grows my own scholarship. By challenging ourselves to become better
   teacher-scholars, we all can create spaces where community knowledge can
   happen and inclusive teaching begins."
   
   Teacher-Scholar Profiles


 * WAYNE NIRODE
   
   Assistant Professor
   Math
   College of Arts and Science
   
   “When I began thinking about leaving high school for the next phase of my
   professional career, it was important for me to go to a university that
   valued both teaching and research. To me, this is at the heart of the
   teacher-scholar model. After being at Miami University for six years, I do
   not think that I could have found a university that better aligns with my
   views on teaching and researching — in short the teacher-scholar model. I am
   proud to say that Miami is my professional home.”
   
   Teacher-Scholar Profiles


 * ARNOLD OLSZEWSKI
   
   Associate Professor
   Speech Pathology and Audiology
   College of Arts and Science
   
   "As an instructor, my goal is to help future speech-language pathologists
   develop assessment and intervention plans using evidence-based methods. As a
   researcher, my goal is to work with students to develop, evaluate, and revise
   techniques for teaching early literacy skills. What I love about Miami is the
   strong emphasis on both teaching and research. Many schools prioritize one
   over the other, but I believe these go hand-in-hand. My favorite thing is
   getting a student who is scared of research to develop their own project and
   see the excitement they feel when they get their results."

   University Distinguished Professor
   Biology
   College of Arts and Science
   
   "In biology at Miami, we engage students in the classroom, in the laboratory,
   and in the field. Our undergraduates have the rare opportunity to conduct
   novel and timely research under the guidance of talented graduate students
   and passionate faculty. Our research on freshwater invertebrates both guides
   and supports conservation actions by numerous state and federal agencies."
