Please consult the Graduate Bulletin for more information. Please check with the department or in the Graduate Bulletin to see if your program requires tests. Information about the tests is available from the Graduate School or most college counseling centers. International students admitted to the Graduate School are required to take an on-campus test in the use of English. This test is taken after arrival at Miami and prior to registration for classes.
Many graduate students attend Miami with the aid of an assistantship.
In exchange for teaching, doing research, or working in a university office, you are paid a stipend and receive an instructional fee waiver. Application for a graduate award is included as part of the admission application. Complete the appropriate section and you will automatically be considered for an award. To be considered for financial aid or a graduate assistantship, however, the deadline is March 1 before fall semester. The Institute of Environmental Sciences and the departments of Architecture and Interior Design, English, History, Mathematics and Statistics, Political Science, Psychology, Speech Pathology and Audiology, and Zoology have a deadline of February 1.
