▪ Complete the online application for admission (http://gradschool.fiu.edu/ ). Scroll down, under “Quick Links” click “Apply online”.

• To begin the online application you will need to click on the icon that says “Create Account” in the User Login section.  After you create the PIN, you will use the PIN to enter the system and complete the online application.
• You may complete the online application and submit it, even without having taken the GMAT, GRE or TOEFL.  We prefer that you mail supporting materials (essay, letters of recommendation, etc…) to us rather than uploading them onto the online application. 

▪ Pay a $30 application fee.  Most major credit cards are accepted.  Checks or money orders are also accepted and should be made payable to Florida International University.

▪ Send official transcripts from all previously attended universities, in a sealed envelope

• A four year Bachelors Degree from an accredited institution as well as a minimum upper division grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 are required.
• The original transcripts must be submitted in an envelope sealed by the degree-granting institution.
• Students whose official transcripts are not in English will be required to submit translated transcripts.  If this applies to you please ask your university to provide two original transcripts.  The first set of transcripts must remain in the sealed envelope.  The second set of transcripts should be sent to an official translation company for translation.
• Applicants who already possess a Masters degree from an accredited institution may be eligible for a GMAT waiver provided that the graduate degree GPA is 3.0 or better.

▪ Submit official proof of degree.  A notarized copy of the original diploma is required if the degree is not posted on the official transcripts.

▪  If you earned your Bachelor Degree in a country whose official language is not English, you must demonstrate English proficiency by taking either the TOEFL or IELTS.  Minimum scores for the TOEFL are:  550 paper-based, 213 computer-based and 80 internet-based.  Minimum score for the IELTS is 6.5.  When requesting the official scores, please refer to the Florida International University Institution code 5206.
