The College of Business Administration, Florida International University, is headquartered at Modesto A. Maidique Campus, 11200 S.W. 8th Street, College of Business Complex, Suite 300, Miami, Florida 33199-0001. Phone: 305-348-2751, TDD via FRS 1-800-955-8771.

They offer a wealth of research and teaching experience and practical business savvy.
