See more reasons why you belong here:

  • Progressive technology

    Benefit from our strategic use of technology.

    Today, technology permeates every aspect of business. It also permeates every aspect of what we do, from our curriculum content to our instructional delivery.

    • Our programs prepare you to use information technology strategically for a competitive advantage in your chosen discipline and career.
    • Our campuses have a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure. You study in a wireless environment and multimedia classrooms that enhance teaching and learning.
    • Our course delivery systems, from web-assisted and technology-mediated instruction in a traditional classroom to coursework over the Internet, capitalize on technology-facilitated learning.

    Use our technology to open more opportunities.

    If your work schedule, distance from campus, or other constraints make it difficult for you to participate in a traditional classroom setting, you can take advantage of virtual learning options at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. These allow you to take courses any time and anywhere you have an Internet connection. If you'd like to combine face-to-face instruction with FIU Online, we have the right courses for you.

    For highly motivated and disciplined undergraduates, we also offer a fully-online Bachelor of Business Administration with majors in international business, management, management information systems and finance. Our exceptional information resources, coupled with superior support from our technical staff, have made virtual learning increasingly popular with our students. Today, more than 20 percent of our students take courses online.

  • Active civic engagement

    Learn through serving.

    Through projects that highlight the importance of sharing, community, and reciprocity, our Civic Engagement Initiative helps build closer ties between the campus community and the varied neighborhoods of Greater Miami. Collaborating with faculty and your fellow students, you'll put your business and managerial skills to work confronting community problems and challenges.

    For example, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, a partnership with the Internal Revenue Service, local tax firms, and Miami-Dade County, helps low-income earners complete tax returns. The Miami Benefit Club connects students with local business professionals to work at Habitat for Humanity, with the city of Miami's Neighborhood Enhancement Teams, and elsewhere. Other opportunities include outreach to promising high-school students in low-income areas, preparing them for the path to higher education.

    Take a step to leadership.

    These service opportunities aren't just offered as an aside. They're tied into our curriculum—in management, accounting, and real estate courses, and in a Service Learning course that is the only business school course in the country dedicated entirely to this subject.

    The rewards—business, social, and academic—you'll reap from civic involvement will prepare you for leadership responsibilities throughout your career. The personal benefits are immeasurable.

    Career Path

  • Miami culture and lifestyle

    It's the place to be for international business.

    When you study here, you're ideally positioned to immerse yourself in international business. More than 1,000 multinational companies call Miami-Dade County home. A thriving air- and sea-cargo business, as well as undisputed status as the "Cruise Capital of the World" make Miami a global logistics and transportation hub. The county is among the top 10 large metropolitan areas with the strongest projected growth (USA Today, 2003).

    Feel the Latin beat.

    Miami is recognized as the "Best City for Doing Business in Latin America" for the third year in a row (AméricaEconomía, 2005), and Miami International Airport is ranked number one for flights to Latin America and the Caribbean, offering more than all other U.S. airports combined.

    Enjoy the zesty culture and the sunny skies.

    Our Miami location enables you to enjoy the international, urban, and ethnic richness of South Florida's diverse culture. Our tropical weather (with an average January temperature of 68.1 degrees F) means you can enjoy year-round sporting and recreational activities—from boating and water sports to tennis and golf.
