The Dual Degree Program is offered in collaboration with a sponsor, which is a reputed, acredited university in a foreign country. The program focuses on the demonstrated education and training needs of selected students from diferent countries, and is designed in consultation with our partner universities. The goal of the Dual Degree Program is to complement the existing academic programs offered by the sponsoring institution. The student receives two related undergraduate degrees in Engineering; a Bachelors degree from the home institution and another from the College of Engineering and Computing at Florida International University.

How it works?

The duration of an equivalent Bachelors degree in Latin America and some other parts of the world is five years. The Dual Degree Program allows the students to study for three to four years in their countries and then transfer to FIU. Once admitted, the student will have to take between 42 to 54 (exceptions may apply) credits in order to graduate and receive a degree from FIU. After graduation the student will transfer his/her FIU credits back to the home institution and receive an equivalent degree from the home institution.
