"GREAT SEAL OF FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY" and "1965"
The mark is a circle with the words "GREAT SEAL OF FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY FIU" appearing in circular form, encircling laurel brances with the year "1965" and a crest divided into four segments containing the words "SPES SCIENTIA FACULTAS", a torch, an open book and a world globe.
The lining is a feature of the mark and does not indicate color.
The English translation for the Latin words "SPES SCIENTIA FACULTAS" is "hope science teaching".
