Located in northern Miami-Dade County on a 245-acre site, this beautifully landscaped campus was the College’s first major campus, built in 1960. Its main academic buildings surround a serene lake, and parking areas are well-lit and secure.

The North campus enrolls over 41,000 credit and non-credit students with unique programs and certificates.

Miami Dade has an Open Door Admissions Policy, which provides educational opportunities to all who are interested in participating in the degree programs, courses, and services offered by the College.

The North Campus serves a diverse population of students with over half of them in the 18- to 25- year-old age group. Other students include adults new to college, those returning after time away from study, and those seeking new job skills.

Through the School of Advanced Studies, high school juniors and seniors also can enroll in a special dual enrollment program and take college-level courses along with their high school courses.

Whether students want to upgrade skills, retrain or start working on a bachelor’s degree, the North Campus will provide students with the opportunity to earn a degree or a one-year certificate, or prepare them for a licensing exam. With day and evening classes offered throughout the week, there is a convenient time for everyone to pursue an education.

We recognize that not everyone learns the same way. Whether you are comfortable in the traditional classroom or require more flexibility, North can tailor your education to meet your needs.

Through Community Education students can enroll in an array of courses – during the day, evening and weekend – for adults and kids, on campus and at the centers near your home. If you are looking for a course to enrich you leisure time, to learn a new sport or hobby, or just to meet people with common interests, we have an affordable, convenient class to meet your needs.

The North Campus also addresses the training needs of local companies through the our Center for Professional Development and Corporate Training, which offers instruction and employee development workshops to business, government and industry. These workshops, on topics such as computer software use, management methods and customer service skills, may be conducted at client facilities or on our campus.

If you are interested in gaining military experience while enrolled in college classes, North offers ROTC in conjunction with the University of Miami.

There are more than 40 clubs that appeal to a variety of extracurricular interests, including cultural, religious, social or service groups. The campus also has an active Student Government Association, many professional and honorary societies and an award-winning student newspaper, The Falcon Times..

We also have many student groups that participate in performing and visual arts activities. Special events on campus include festivals, concerts by campus ensembles and professional musicians, plays and gallery exhibits by internationally known artists.

The following are some programs unique to the North Campus:

• School of Justice – trains police officers, corrections officers and private sector security guards and has a state-of-the-art Assessment Center.

Miami Dade’s tuition and costs are a fraction of those of the state universities. Yet our students who enroll in and transfer to four-year colleges and universities do as well as their fellow students who entered the four-year schools as freshman. Therefore, not only will you save money on your education, but your Associate in Arts degree from Miami-Dade guarantees full acceptance of your credits at all Florida state universities and higher education institutions throughout the country.

Aid is provided on the basis of demonstrated need. Miami Dade North participates in all federally and state-funded financial aid programs. Additionally, we offer academic and performance scholarship to qualified applicants.
