We report measurements of oscillation parameters from () and () disappearance using beam and atmospheric data from MINOS. The data comprise exposures of 10.7110(20) protons on target in the ()-dominated beam, 3.3610(20) protons on target in the ()-enhanced beam, and 37.88 kton yr of atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming identical and oscillation parameters, we measure |m2| = (2.41(-0.10)(+0.09))10(-3)eV2 and sin2(2) = 0.950(-0.036)(+0.035). Allowing independent and oscillations, we measure antineutrino parameters of |m2| = (2.50(-0.25)(+0.23))10(-3)eV2 and sin2(2) = 0.97(-0.08)(+0.03), with minimal change to the neutrino parameters.
