What Business Schools in Miami Cost

Tuition across the 9 ranked schools runs from $1,968 to $16,800 a year. Broward College in Fort Lauderdale anchors the low end at $1,968 a year, while Florida National University-Main Campus in Hialeah sits at the top at $16,800. The cheapest public option among the business schools in Miami is Broward College in Fort Lauderdale at $1,968; the cheapest private is South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary in Deerfield Beach at $7,440.

Over the four years the credential takes, that is roughly $7,872 in tuition at Broward College against about $67,200 at Florida National University-Main Campus.

Which Business Major to Choose in Miami

Business school covers a dozen different degrees, and the business schools in Miami do not all offer the same ones. Across the 144 accredited programs analyzed here, the fields with the deepest coverage in Miami are business administration (14 schools), healthcare administration (10 schools), accounting (8 schools), finance (8 schools), international business (7 schools). A school ranked highly overall is not automatically strong in the major you want, so check the field before the name.

Accounting is the one track bound to a license: most states now license CPAs on either 150 credit hours and one year of experience or a bachelor's and two years, so the choice between a fifth year of school and a longer apprenticeship shapes the course plan from the first year rather than the last. 8 of the schools analyzed in Miami run one.

Public and Private Business Schools in Miami

3 of the 9 ranked business schools in Miami are public and 6 are private, and that split drives most of the $14,832 tuition spread above. The public rate is a residency benefit: Broward College in Fort Lauderdale charges $1,968 in-state and $7,402 out of state, so where a student already lives changes this ranking more than any other single factor.

Why Study Business in Miami

The 9 ranked schools sit across 6 towns in the metro, among them Miami, Doral, Fort Lauderdale, and the table names the city of each, so check the commute before assuming a suburban campus is the convenient option. 5 of the 9 also run a confirmed online option for students who cannot be on campus daily.

Common Questions About Business Schools in Miami

What is the best business school in Miami?

By Program Score, Florida International University ranks first among the 9 ranked business schools in Miami, with a 92.8 score and a 74% graduation rate. The score weighs graduation rate, selectivity, cost, and outcomes together, so the top school balances all four rather than winning on any one of them.

Can you study business part-time in Miami?

Yes. Evening, weekend and part-time formats are common across the business schools in Miami, and in a metro this size most schools run at least one. The tradeoff is length rather than content: the same credential takes longer while you keep working. Ask each school for the completion rate of its part-time cohort specifically, since it often differs from the headline graduation rate this ranking uses.

How much does a business degree cost in Miami?

Tuition among the ranked Miami schools runs from $1,968 to $60,720 a year. Public schools publish the in-state resident rate, so students moving in from another state should check the out-of-state column before comparing. Neither figure includes Miami living costs, which are a real part of the total.

How many business schools in Miami does this ranking cover?

We analyzed 144 accredited business programs across Miami and the surrounding metro and ranked the top 9 schools, listing one entry per school on its strongest program. This list covers Miami-Dade and Broward, so some schools sit outside the city line; the city of each is shown in the table.

Is it worth studying business in Miami instead of online?

5 of the 9 ranked schools run a confirmed online option, so in Miami this is a live choice rather than a hypothetical one. An accredited online program carries identical standing on a transcript, since accreditation attaches to the school and the program rather than to the delivery format. What a campus adds is proximity to the employers that school recruits into, and at $1,968 in-state, Broward College in Fort Lauderdale is what that proximity costs at the low end here. The honest comparison is local access against the cost of being here.
