BBC has partnered with local institutions including MAST@FIU, the only public high school in Florida that enjoys a collaborative partnership with a public university.

Like most campuses built in the 1960’s, MMC (FIU’s main campus) is a closed campus, with buildings arranged in a circle of sorts, rather than sprawling out into the surrounding community.
