The FIU Global First Year Program combines credit-bearing courses from the first year of a student’s degree with additional support services, instruction tailored to their academic and language level, and cultural experiences, helping ensure their future success. Furthermore, the Global First Year experience provides more than academic, language, and cultural growth. With the included Career Accelerator program, students can also gain valuable professional skills that prepare them for a successful career.

The Career Accelerator is designed specifically for international students:

Four semesters of professional development and career guidance

Skills-based training and opportunities for exclusive internships

Unique workshops, real-world experiences, and cross-cultural group work

The Digital TV & Multimedia Production major prepares students for careers in media production and program creation, writing, and creative applications of video and audio storytelling. In this major, students will learn the industry’s best practices in multi-platform digital production as well as training in studio production and writing for television. As a Digital TV & Multimedia Production student, students can expect to take courses in motion graphics, podcasting, social media production, and web development. The best of this work will even be published on the award-winning Caplin News. Digital TV and Multimedia Production majors may also take advantage of immersive and experiential learning opportunities like the Univision STEP program or the NBCU Academy fellowship. Students will also have the opportunity to take classes in digital broadcasting, podcasting, and at iSTAR, the Immersive Studio for Altered Reality.
