“The EMST program took my career to another level. It provided me with the technical tools necessary to survive and more importantly thrive in the highly competitive field of taxation. I believe the EMST program to be highly beneficial to any prospective accounting graduate student. The program was also very helpful in obtaining the ultimate goal of any accounting major and that is passing the CPA exam!”

DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS

The Dual Degree Program allows you to do just that. In today’s increasingly global economy, it’s important to have an international base of knowledge.

The Dual Degree program enables you to get a global business perspective by earning a graduate degree at FIU and a second business degree at one of our 30+ partner schools around the world.

Students will live in foreign destinations, learn from international faculty, and have two different sets of networking opportunities and contacts, which are invaluable when it comes time for employment or future potential business partnerships.
