Evaluation of Applicant Credentials
The FIU College of Law Admissions Committee seeks to enroll a diverse student body that has demonstrated academic and personal achievement. In addition to academic excellence, the Admissions Committee values applicant experience demonstrating leadership ability, commitment to public service and an understanding of global issues.

Campus Visit
The College of Law understands the significance of the decision to attend law school and the differences between each law school's campus culture and environment, and therefore, encourages you to visit our community. Individual appointments and group informational sessions are scheduled throughout the year.

Accreditation Process
Under American Bar Association rules, no law school may be considered for accreditation until it is in its second year of operation. It is our intention to apply for ABA accreditation during our second year and our hope to be provisionally accredited at the end of that academic year. While we believe we are on a proper course to that result, we can not guarantee that we will be accredited by that date. We do believe that we are building a law school, which will be competitive with the very best American law schools.
