FIU is the only public research university in South Florida and is dedicated to the social and economic welfare of our community. We see ourselves as a solutions center for our communities. FIU is committed to increasing access to higher education and successful degree completion for our population of students who are typically underrepresented in degrees at all levels of higher education. Since 2007, the number of applications has increased by 47 percent testifying to FIU’s continued presence as an integral choice for families in south Florida. Enrollment at FIU accounts for 15 percent of the total enrollment in the State University System (SUS). FIU is the national leader in awarding STEM bachelor’s degrees to underrepresented minorities. Seventy-seven percent of our students are from minority backgrounds, giving FIU a unique position as a national laboratory for the development of creative teaching and learning programs targeting student academic success. Our research initiatives continue to provide both social and economic impact to South Florida and the Nation. The University is focused on driving business and cost efficiencies through expanded use of on- and off- campus weekend classes (FIU has the highest classroom space utilization rate in the SUS at 176 percent of statutory requirements), reduced energy costs (FIU led the SUS in energy conservation for four consecutive years, 2007-2011), and new revenue sources. Mission Statement Florida International University is an urban, multi-campus, public research university serving its students and the diverse population of South Florida. We are committed to high-quality teaching, state-of-the-art research and creative activity, and collaborative engagement with our local and global communities. Vision Statement Florida International University will be a leading urban public research university focused on student learning, innovation, and collaboration. ACCESS TO AND PRODUCTION OF DEGREES During the academic year 2011-12, FIU enrolled almost 48,000 students from 148 countries. Last year, the University awarded over 11,000 total degrees, an 11 percent increase over 2010-11.
