History

In 1946, Miami University began offering classes in Hamilton and Middletown to meet the needs of people living in those communities who could not attend college. The success of these classes led to the creation of five academic centers in Norwood, Dayton, Piqua and the existing Hamilton and Middletown locations. Steady growth of student enrollment combined with local support for higher education led to the opening of Miami Middletown in 1966 and Miami Hamilton in 1968. The Dayton and Piqua academic centers were replaced by Wright State University; the responsibilities for the Norwood academic center were assumed by the University of Cincinnati. [4]
