The Institution of International Education recently
published its Open Doors 2016 report, which saw Miami (OH) University ranked
number one in the U.S. in public doctoral universities for the
participation of undergraduate students in study abroad programs.
The
university currently has 49.1 percent of its students study abroad before
graduation. The figured from the report are based on the 2014-15 academic year.
“Everyone at Miami should be extraordinarily proud of this
No. 1 ranking for study abroad participation among public universities,” Cheryl Young, associate provost, Global Initiatives, said. “This accomplishment
illustrates the deep commitment to a globally focused education for our
students at a time when cultivating a global perspective and strengthening our
connections is more important than ever.”
Miami was also included at number 17 on the list for
its undergraduate study abroad participation, tying them with Boston

offer doctorates.
The list ranks Miami at number 22 for actual number of
students, including undergraduate and graduate students, who participate in the
study abroad program. During the 2014-15 academic year, Miami had 2,046
