Why FIU’s Model Matters

FIU expects students to build résumés early in a competitive metro. International students should map CPT internships with the international student office before accepting offers.

Global And Career Opportunities

Miami is a gateway for Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe—ideal for language learners, supply-chain majors and finance students targeting emerging-market desks.

How To Make The Most Of FIU

Students should:

• Activate Handshake in week one
• Join one professional society per major track
• Pursue research or teaching assistant roles where eligible
• Use winter breaks for short internships when visa rules allow

FIU rewards students who treat Miami as a laboratory, not only a beach town.
