It's sad really. This University has potential. The Faculty (at least in the sciences) are good, smart, and understanding. The classwork is challenging but directed, and the opportunity to do reserach is good. The University administration is another story. The different branches of the university (schools, fin aid, registrar, etc.) do not communicate. If you have a problem, you will be running from department to department trying to resolve it. GOD forbid you have a problem, the staff is unhelpful, in general they don't care if you are there or not. There is no sense of understanding that the reason they have a salary is the students (undergrad and grad) are paying tuition for them to be there. I have had far too many problems getting paid, getting tuition reimbursements, getting contracts entered, getting credits added, so on, so on. I have been dropped as a student twice due to incompetence that has NOTHING to do with me. Someone simply did not do their job, took a week vacation that lasted two weeks....In one case they actually dropped my contract BEHIND the filing cabinet, and said I would have to go to my department, the office of the Dean, and the registrar to refill out my paperwork. I thought I was supposed to be working on my degree???? I can't recommend this school. They operate as a business, and a poor one at that. I would suggest you contact the person you would like to work with here, go somewhere else and put the FIU faculty on your committee. You will save yourself years of your life and a number of ulcers.

I can only speak for the electrical and computer engineering department. If I could have gone to another school I would have. My advisor and a few other professors are good but the rest suck! The majority of professors are old and don’t care anymore. A majority of the labs are empty and unused and an assistantship is hard to get unless you get a fellowship (but if you have a fellowship why would you go here). The department is bringing in some new professors so hopefully things will change for the better. The digital signal processing (DSP) graduate courses are good here but if you are interested in VLSI or power, go somewhere else. Most of the PhD students from my department are having difficulty finding jobs. The undergraduate program is totally useless. Most of the students in the undergrad are not very competitive. You probably will not land an engineering job unless you have at least a masters and that still does not guarantee anything. Miami does not have any industry, so if you do land a job it will probably be outside Miami. If you are not from Miami, expect to be really lonely. Aug 06 2007 Electrical Engineering

not all but a few outstanding professors in each department. They are not only smart baut also very responsible to take care of students. But administrarion was hoeeible. confuison and misunderstanding. Students have to spend a lot of time to solve many problems. Employees did not have any working ethics.

Even if there are some thing that should be revised, the International MBA program within the Chapman Graduate School of Business in FIU is the best value for money. As a one year, full-time program and with extremely experienced faculty, it worth the tuition while you are back in business in less than a year. I strongly recommend it to those who want an effective, fast and useful MBA with an international focus. Jun 02 2004 Business - Management and Administration
