If you are looking to improve your speaking abilities, exercise leadership in an active and competitive role and learn to debate against students from the top universities in the country, then Model UN is the program for you. We require no prior Model United Nations or Debate experience for our new members.
FIU students looking to participate in the FIU Model United Nations Program must submit an application and undergo a selection process prior to the start of the semester they plan to participate.
Applicants will be contacted by e-mail as soon as our leadership team processes the application. Be reminded that the earlier applications are submitted, the earlier applicants will be contacted. Applications must be submitted via the application link above. Please direct any questions to our Program Coordinator, Emily Mims, at emims@fiu.edu, email modelun@fiu.edu, or DM our instagram @fiumodelun.
After the application selection process has taken place, prospective applicants must participate in a try-out interview where applicants will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in negotiation, diplomacy, and public speaking. All participants must meet the program’s academic eligibility standards: a minimum 2.0 GPA to be a member of the team, a 2.5 GPA to be eligible for travel, and a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for student leadership positions.
The final selection will be made after an interview, and applicants will be directly contacted about their acceptance into one of the most successful competitive programs at FIU.
Applications are now open for interviews for the Spring 2027 semester. The last day to apply will be December 31st, 2026. Please do not wait until the last moment to apply, as interview slots are limited. If you wish to apply after the deadline has passed or if you have any questions, please contact our Program Coordinator, Emily Mims, at emims@fiu.edu, or email us at modelun@fiu.edu. Best of luck to all you future delegates!
