How admission to Florida International University (FIU) works, step by step:

1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — business, marketing, Law and healthcare — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
2. Language certificate. TOEFL or IELTS is required; TOEFL can be taken online as the Home Edition. SAT is not universal — many universities are test-optional.
3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, a student visa or residence permit for the USA is arranged. We handle this stage end to end. Keep in mind: Russian citizens attend the F-1 visa interview in third countries and approvals have become stricter — build in extra time. For passports of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan the route works as usual.

After 11 years of school. Yes, the school certificate is accepted directly. The most accessible route is a community college without SAT, then transferring to a university as a third-year student.
