“I chose the University of Miami to pursue my postgraduate studies because it’s located in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States. I wanted to be part of a university that provides an excellent education and expands my knowledge through research, training, and community activities. UM is a university that believes that the key to being a great public health professional is being part of the community, working in the community, and applying what we’ve learned in the classroom to the community.”

Inclusive Culture
At the University of Miami, a private research university with more than 17,000 students from across the nation and around the world, students benefit from the plurality of races, ethnicities, faiths, cultures, customs, and traditions within one of the most multicultural cities in the world. The University of Miami is a vibrant and diverse academic community focused on teaching and learning, the discovery of new knowledge, and service to the South Florida region and beyond. To promote a culture of belonging, the University developed a set of common values, leadership expectations, and service standards that increase engagement, productivity, and positive outcomes. The Office of Institutional Culture promotes these principles through various programs and initiatives.
Students enjoy actively learning from each other and celebrating their differences, while also discovering their similarities. Students participate in celebrations such as Chinese New Year and host activities during Black History Month and National Hispanic Heritage Month.
