About the Office of International Education

Mission

The Office of International Education provides international education services, consulting assistance, programming activities, and advocacy leadership in support of the University's international education goals.

We help students, faculty and staff, academic departments and divisions, other campus units, and the administration to expand the international dimension in learning, teaching, research, creative activities, and service.

Location

The Office of International Education is located in room 216 on the second floor of MacMillan Hall on Miami University's Oxford, Ohio campus.

Hours

Our staff are available to assist you from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday (7:30-4:30 during the summer). It is always easier to meet with an adviser if you make an appointment first, but it is usually not necessary.
