The Florida International University (FIU) is the only public research university in Miami, with campuses in University Park and Biscayne Bay. Both sites total more than 500 acres in land area, in addition to a number of regional learning sites and international campuses in China and the UAE.

The colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and Engineering account for more than half of the students enrolled at FIU. There are nearly 200 programs being offered throughout the university's schools and colleges, including graduate programs in architecture, law, and medicine. FIU's Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine is the only public medical school in South Florida and is affiliated with the Jackson North Medical Center, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Miami Children's, and Mercy Hospital. The School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, on the other hand, holds the prestige of being the only US school to have been invited by the Ministry of Education in China to collaborate with preparations for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Both the College of Law and School of Business have also contributed to FIU's prestige, ranking among the top institutions in their respective fields in the country.

Since its founding in 1965, FIU has since been home to prominent cultural institutions such as the Frost Art and the Wolfsonian museums. The university is also known for its immense research funding and expenditure, as manifested in its International Hurricane Research Center (IHRC) which includes the laboratories for Coastal Research; Insurance, Financial and Economic Research; Wind Engineering Research; and Social Science Research.
