ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN Strategic Plan
Introduction
Florida International University is Miami-Dade County’s first public, four-year university. One of South Florida’s anchor institutions, FIU has been locally and globally engaged for more than four decades finding solutions to the most challenging problems of our time.
FIU was established by the Florida Legislature in 1965 and opened in 1972 offering upper division and graduate level courses. In 1981 the first freshman class was admitted and in 1984 FIU began offering courses at the doctoral level. The College of Law admitted its first class in Fall 2000 and the College of Medicine in Fall 2009. The University offers bachelors, masters, specialist, research and professional doctorate degrees. The University has two campuses in Miami-Dade County and an educational site at the Pines Educational Center in Broward County.
Strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it. (Bryson, 2004)
The environmental scan is divided into two sections - the internal and external scans. The internal scan with progressive information on our students, faculty/staff and the finances of our institution, explains who we are. The external scan provides information on the population, and external factors that influence the institution. The external scan provides the outside factors which will impact the decisions to be made.

External Scan
The purpose of the external scan is to identify and review the factors in our community and the state that will impact the University and to match the strengths of the University to the needs of our community and the world at large.
Population Projections
Florida’s population is expected to grow by 31% between 2010 and 2030, with Broward County increasing by 22% and Miami-Dade County by 19%. In 2030, Florida’s population is projected to be 13,742,871; Broward County is expected to have 9% of the state’s population and Miami-Dade County 13%. For the Fall 2009 term, 15% of the students came from Broward County and 69% came from Miami-Dade County.
In 2010 it was estimated that the state’s minority population was 40%, where in Broward County it was 52% and Miami-Dade County it was 85%. The minority headcount for the Fall 2009 at FIU was 75% with 12% African-American, 60% Hispanic.

The population projections for the 18 to 64 years of age group from 2010 to 2030 are as follows: Florida 17% increase, Broward County 14% increase and Miami-Dade County 12% increase. This age group is our pool for transfer, graduate and professional students. The projections for the 0 to 17 years of age group from 2010 to 2030 are as follows: Florida 20% increase, Broward County 12% increase and Miami-Dade County 8% increase. This age group is our potential FTIC student pool. The average age of our student population is 24.
Public High Schools
During 2007-08 a total of 142,102 students graduated from Florida public high schools with a standard diploma, 4.6 percent higher than the prior year (135,893). Based on current projections of state-wide enrollments in grades 9 to 12, the number of standard-diploma graduates are likely to fluctuate little over the next three years, increasing slightly to 142,620 in 2008-09 and decreasing slightly in 2009-10 and 2010-11. In 2011-12 the graduating class is expected to drop by 5 percent to 134,654, the long-expected effect of the 2003-04 implementation of a third-grade retention policy that resulted in a one-year, smaller-than-average fourth grade.

New Florida Building Florida’s Knowledge Economy
The heart of the knowledge and innovation economy is built on the high-technology, high-wage jobs needed in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (or “STEM”). However, the areas of medicine, finance, insurance, professional services, health care and education are also vital to this new economy.
The average income for people with a bachelor’s degree is $46,277 and $61,014 for those with an advanced degree. In addition to better jobs with higher average annual salaries, economies built on knowledge and innovation are more stable.
The expected outcomes are:
2015 o Increased annual degree production by 25,000 o 2,500 new faculty bringing in an additional $500 million annually in research funding o Increased annual patent awards by 100 o Medical breakthroughs that improve the longevity and quality of life o Improvements in graduation rates and retention rates o Increases annual new business start-ups by 10 o Increased annual licensing revenue by $20 million
2030 o Increased annual degree production by 50,000 o Increased annual research funding by $1.5+ billion o Medical breakthroughs that improve the longevity and quality of life o Improvements in graduation rates and retention rates o Increases annual patent awards by 250 o Established companies attracted to the state o Increased annual new business start-ups by 20 o Increased annual licensing revenue by $50 million
This will be accomplished by:
Focus each university on fulfilling its distinctive mission
Create a strategic research agenda built on the strengths of each university
Focus half of the new funding on targeted degrees (STEM)
Focus half of the new funding on developing a pool of graduates with degrees needed for regional and statewide development and create a pool of degreed citizens with creative and analytical thinking skills.
Funding can be used for workload increases, capital construction.
Florida would become a magnet for top level students, researchers, and industry needing an educated populace.
