Florida Institute of Technology

What we are is a private, coeducational, residential, research-intensive, doctoral granting university located in the beautiful City of Melbourne on Florida's sunny "Space Coast." But who we are is so much more. We are a community of researchers, scholars and learners hailing from all around the world. We are engineers, aviators, innovators, leaders, educators, athletes and astronauts. We have the brains of rocket scientists and the hearts of Panthers. We are Florida Tech. At Florida Tech, we say "yes" to big ideas. We pursue outrageous dreams and embark on the endeavors most pivotal to the future. Founded to educate the pioneers of the U.S. space program, Florida Tech is deeply, historically rooted in this culture of relentless determination. Today, we carry on this legacy through the rigorous hands-on degree programs we offer in engineering, science, computing, aeronautics, business, psychology and the liberal arts.
