Goal 1: A more highly qualified student body
Superior students benefit a university in
many ways. They help the university attract
outstanding faculty members. Through their
acheivements, they draw attention and national
acclaim to the institution. Mostly, superior
students raise the bar for the entire student
body. They help set the standards that influence
the value of a Miami degree for everyone.
