The American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) is pleased to announce a new international academic collaboration with Florida International University (FIU), USA, introducing a 4+1 Accelerated Bachelor–Master’s Degree Program through FIU’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management. This specially tailored pathway enables eligible AIUB undergraduate students, particularly from BBA programs, to begin a U.S. Master of Science in Hospitality Management while completing their Bachelor degree at AIUB, allowing them to save both time and cost while gaining global exposure. Students may complete up to 12 graduate credits from FIU during their final year at AIUB, with these courses counting toward both degrees, and then transition to FIU to complete the remaining credits either online or in person in Miami.

The program is offered at a highly subsidized total tuition of approximately USD 19,800, with scholarships and incentives that reduce overall costs by more than USD 15,000 compared to traditional study pathways. Eligible students must have completed 75–90 credits with a minimum GPA of 3.2 and apply in their senior year with academic approval from AIUB. Those opting for the in-person track in Miami will benefit from U.S. work permit eligibility, internship opportunities, and direct exposure to the global hospitality industry. This initiative reflects AIUB’s continued commitment to internationalization, industry relevance, and expanding global academic opportunities for its students. Interested students are encouraged to contact Dr. Partha Prasad Chowdhury (partha.p@aiub.edu) or Mr. Stanley Rodrick (stanley@aiub.edu) for application details.
