FIU also announced the institution welcomed nearly 5,300 first-year students to campus this summer and fall. The students represent 41 states and 39 countries around the world.
First-year students who began in the fall have an average SAT score of 1259 and an average GPA of 4.01.
According to FIU, Jody Glassman, the assistant vice president of enrollment and university admissions, said that among the first-year students are scholars, researchers, business owners, bloggers, creatives, as well as students committed to environmental resilience, medicine, education, and other areas crucial to the health of society.
“This generation has grown up with Apple devices, streaming services, and social media, but they want human interaction,” Glassman told FIU News. “I am so excited for this class to challenge us to keep growing, changing, and raising the bar on what’s possible.”
