IF YOU NEED HELP DON'T COME TO THIS SCHOOL. THE STAFF IS NICE BUT HARD TO GET HELP, JUST SMILES. MY COMMUNITY COLLEGE WAS MORE WORTH IT BUT I HAD TO GO TO A BIGGER UNIVERSITY DUE TO MY CAREER PATH.

Their communication suckkkkkks. If you’re a student you can not contact anyone for help. They tell you to leave a voice mail or email and they never get back!

Not a lot of opertunity for fully online students, I felt my money would have been better spent somewhere else. Online degrees are basically teach yourself youtube courses. Stay Away!
Overall 1.3
I am on online student so some of the things above do not apply. However this is hands down the biggest waste of money! None of the professors help you and they do not respond to emails. They do not show you or review quizzes/tests so you never know what you got wrong in order to learn. Class sizes and professor options are very very minimal.

Terrible school academically, socially, and even in sports. The only thing that is good about it is that it's in miami.

The staff ?

Affordable but hard to get involved unless you are incredibly sociable. There isn't much to say about the campus life/events either. They aren't great.

Are you looking for a graduate program in Marketing? I don't recommend the online MSM Program at the FIU College of Business, because of the high cost of time and money for what you get.. Do your research and invest your time and education money in another program or university. Also, the MSM graduate program doesn't recognize honor students.
