Today’s rankings are the latest achievement in a groundbreaking year for FIU:

This summer, FIU was named a Preeminent State Research University by the Florida Board of Governors, and ranked first among Florida public universities in performance metrics.

FIU also was recently ranked Florida’s top university by Washington Monthly (No. 3 public and No. 16 overall) and The Wall Street Journal (No. 31 public and No. 77 overall).

“Each of these rankings emphasizes a different key aspect of a university’s performance, with an emphasis on research and student success,” said FIU Board of Trustees Chair Roger Tovar. “Our success is in great part due to the support of Governor Ron DeSantis and the state legislature, as well as the focus of the board and the leadership of the university on elevating FIU. We are now among the top 50 universities in several important rankings and that is a direct reflection of the excellent education and consequential research taking place at FIU.”
