Florida, United States
Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as Brevard Engineering College. It all started as an idea in the mind of Jerome P. Keuper, a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral (now NASA - Kennedy Space Center).
Florida Institute of Technology’s mission is to provide high-quality education to a culturally diverse student body in order to prepare students for entering the global workforce, seeking higher-education opportunities and serving within their communities. The university also seeks to expand knowledge through basic and applied research and to serve the diverse economic, cultural and societal needs of our local, state, national and international constituencies.
Amazing Outcomes: So many of our students have job offers in hand before they graduate
Can-Do Culture: Florida Tech is a community of people who aren't afraid to tackle the mind-boggling scientific, technological and societal challenges of today and tomorrow
Engineering & Scientific Excellence: Florida Tech got its start as Brevard Engineering College, a small night school for the "missilemen" who were helping to build a foundation for the U.S. space program. And while we've grown into a comprehensive national research university offering more than 200 degrees in disciplines ranging from aviation to oceanography since then, we've always kept science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) on the forefront of our focus.
Hands-On, For Real: If there's anything that sets Florida Tech apart from other colleges and universities, it's our hands-on, dive-in, buckle-up approach to higher education.
International Advantage: With about one-third of our student body coming from more than 90 countries around the world, we believe that international diversity is a vital and unique distinction that enhances every student's experience, both in and out of the classroom.
Space Connections: Founded by a Cape Canaveral rocket scientist in 1958, Florida Tech is proud to share a rich history and deep connections with the U.S. space program, commercial space initiatives and partner agencies.
Standing For Sustainability: When you're a part of a subtropical campus located just a few miles from the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by an abundance of natural resources and awe-inspiring flora and fauna, you tend to gain a new perspective on the environment.
Stellar Faculty: Having amazing professors may not make us different from a lot of other national research universities, but it certainly helps make us great! Florida Tech professors are experts on everything from primates to sharks.
