The FIU Global First Year Program combines credit-bearing courses from the first year of a student’s degree with additional support services, instruction tailored to their academic and language level, and cultural experiences, all aimed at ensuring their future success. The Global First Year experience goes beyond academic, language, and cultural growth by offering the Career Accelerator program, which provides valuable professional skills to prepare students for a successful career.

The Career Accelerator is specifically designed for international students and includes four semesters of professional development and career guidance, skills-based training, opportunities for exclusive internships, unique workshops, real-world experiences, and cross-cultural group work. The School of Computing and Information Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, providing challenging degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD levels with high-quality teaching by experienced faculty. The programs prepare students for graduate education or careers in business, industry, or government by offering a mix of application-oriented coursework and study of underlying theory and principles. The programs are designed to educate students whose technical knowledge and skills will remain relevant after leaving the University. Faculty in the School are actively involved in undergraduate education, including teaching beginning courses.

The B.S. in Information Technology major provides students with a broad understanding of information technology concepts and is ideal for those seeking to work as technical support staff or administrators.
