Florida International University Information
Florida International University, or FIU, is a public university which the Carnegie Foundation accredited as a research institution.
It was founded in June 1965 following to a proposal made by Senator Ernest Graham in 1943 for the creation of a South Florida public university.
Though the senator’s proposal didn’t push through, he openly discussed the need for a state university in Miami to his colleagues. Finally, another bill was introduced, this time by Senator Robert M. Haverfield in 1964, which was passed the following year.
The Board of Regents appointed Charles Perry as the university’s first president. It formally opened its doors in September 1972 with 5,667 enrollees. Since no higher education institution was present before FIU’s founding, most of its freshmen were typically 25 years old and above, and some students were even married.
