We report the final measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters $Delta m^2_{32}$ and $sin^2theta_{23}$ using all data from the MINOS and MINOS+ experiments. These data were collected using a total exposure of $23.76 times 10^{20}$ protons on target producing $ u_{mu}$ and $overline{ u_mu}$ beams and 60.75 kt$cdot$yr exposure to atmospheric neutrinos. The measurement of the disappearance of $ u_{mu}$ and the appearance of $ u_e$ events between the Near and Far detectors yields $|Delta m^2_{32}|=2.40^{+0.08}_{-0.09}~(2.45^{+0.07}_{-0.08}) times 10^{-3}$ eV$^2$ and $sin^2theta_{23} = 0.43^{+0.20}_{-0.04} ~(0.42^{+0.07}_{-0.03})$ at 68% C.L. for Normal (Inverted) Hierarchy.
