Miles College is a private, historically Black four-year institution located in Fairfield, Alabama, a suburb south of Birmingham. Founded with a mission to serve African American students, the college maintains a small campus with 1,151 students and focuses its academic offerings primarily on business, management, marketing, and related support services.

Annual tuition is $11,764 for all students, with a total cost of attendance of $19,334 when accounting for room and board at $7,570 per year. The college's relatively low published tuition makes it an option for students seeking a private HBCU education at modest cost, though prospective students should inquire about available financial aid and scholarships to understand their actual out-of-pocket expense.

Miles College classifies as a professions-focused baccalaureate institution, meaning its curriculum emphasizes applied learning and workforce preparation rather than research. The college's Economic Mobility Index places it in the higher-access, medium-earnings category, suggesting it enrolls students with limited family resources and aims to prepare them for stable employment.
