Best Business colleges in Florida

Whether you see yourself as an accountant, entrepreneur or international businessperson, FIU has the traditional, online and blended programs to realize your goal. So head down to Miami for sunshine and a degree. The school’s secret sauce? Well, the nationally-ranked Landon School of Business’ professors are business leaders with both teaching and practical experience. And students see immediate classroom application, as 84 percent of undergrads work while attending school or intern at corporations such as Burger King, Celebrity Cruises and Merrill Lynch. You can even tap into the resources of the Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center workshop series, join a business organization or team up with fellow students to enter the annual Howard J. Leonhardt New Venture Challenge, which pits finalists against international teams for $46,000 in cash prizes. Spend your winter break abroad studying management in Dubai and India or marketing in Barcelona, Madrid and Marrakech. If running your own business is appealing, you may ultimately be among the nearly one-fifth of Landon’s 30,000 alumni who are their own bosses. Others have benefitted from international business research and interacting with students from other countries for their future working at an international or multinational firm.
