Bachelor's Degrees
For students with a background in healthcare or technology, Miami University Regional’s innovative, new Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, with a major in Health Information Technology (HIT), can prepare you for future success in the evolving U.S. healthcare system.
The program is designed to provide two pathways: the healthcare pathway provides additional computer foundation courses, while the technology pathway includes coursework in human anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology.
Students will complete a core-curriculum including courses in information management, retrieval and security, project management, health information technology, and global issues in information technology. They will also complete a capstone experience.
The new degree will be offered exclusively at Miami University's regional locations.
Learn more about the HIT program at www.regionals.muohio.edu/hit.
In fall 2008, Miami University's regional campuses introduced a new baccalaureate degree: the Bachelor of Integrative Studies (BIS). All classes take place on the Hamilton and Middletown campuses, and at the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester.
BIS concentrations include the following:

Bachelor's degree programs in Engineering Technology may also be completed entirely at Miami Hamilton and Middletown.
Engineering Technology
The Engineering Technology baccalaureate degree (Electro-Mechanical concentration or Mechanical Engineering Technology concentration) is a completion program for graduates of associate degree programs in electrical/electronics, mechanical, electro-mechanical or similar engineering technology programs. The objective of this program is to allow students who possess an associate degree in these areas to complete the bachelor degree in approximately the equivalent of two years of full-time work (64-70 semester hours).
Electro-Mechanical Concentration
Graduates are engineering technologists prepared to fill industrial positions in areas directly related to scientific programming, product design, process control, testing, manufacturing, sales, and service. Typical engineering technologist's duties may include working in teams involved with product analysis/design, instrumentation and control, CAD/CAM product design, laboratory testing services, product sales and service, product application, and the design of systems that require a hardware/software interface.
Mechanical Engineering Technology Concentration
Mechanical Engineering Technology focuses on applications engineering and the analysis of the mechanical components of mechanisms, machines, products, and systems. The program requires a thorough understanding of applied mathematics and the engineering sciences. Students will develop the essential skills needed to apply experimental and empirical techniques to the study of systems and the solution of problems. This knowledge is used to research concepts, and apply modeling methods, to simulate and test operating conditions and their impact on the designed systems, and to synthesize different elements to obtain an optimum design of a specific product.
Industry is in need of qualified mechanical engineering technologists who are able to apply such tools as computer-aided design (CAD), finite element modeling and analysis, and the concepts of advanced mechanical design to the creation of sophisticated machines and systems.
Note: The Miami University Engineering Technology Department is proud and pleased to announce the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC-ABET) has accredited its associate and baccalaureate degree programs.
Bachelor's degree programs in Nursing may also be completed entirely at regional locations. (Some nursing classes may be taught at the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester, or online.)
The Nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). It provides a balance of liberal arts and professional nursing courses. Emphasis is on the nursing process for health promotion, prevention, restoration, and maintenance with clients, family, and client groups in community health settings. Students are involved in activities preparatory for leadership and management roles and graduate study. Clinical experiences are one day a week.
