Miami is more or less style agnostic, the emphasis is on urbanism and the role of the building within it. There are quite a few professors there who have modernist tedencies such as Allan Shulman, as well as those in the traditional/classical direction. I plan on applying there for grad school as I'm just finishing up a four year program and am growing sick of the modernist monoculture and would like a more well rounded educational experience.
