Today, we carry on this legacy through the rigorous hands-on degree programs we offer in engineering, science, computing, aeronautics, business, psychology and more.

Hands-on from Day One.

Our rigorous, immersive, career-building programs have you working on your major from day one—no filler classes; no lengthy prerequisites. Want to be a pilot?

An Amazing Location that's also a Classroom.

We’re in Melbourne in the heart of Florida’s Space Coast. For you, that translates into amazing job and internship opportunities at places like NASA-Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX, Embraer, Melbourne-Orlando International Airport, National Weather Service, Brevard Zoo, WFIT radio station and many more.

With our location right by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, in addition to swimming, fishing, surfing, paddle-boarding and countless other recreational water activities, you’ll be swimming in research opportunities, as well.

You're much more than a number here and you'll feel it. Panther Pride goes way beyond school spirit—we’re family.

At Florida Tech, you’ll get to know your peers—in and out of your major—as well as your professors. And with an on-campus, undergraduate student body that is about one-third international, you will build a future professional network that spans the globe.

Florida Tech is equal parts innovation and sunshine—Did we mention our 360-plus days of sunshine and 72-degree average daily temperature? Trust us, you’re going to love it here.
