Florida Tech University

The Florida Institute of Technology, more commonly known as FIT or Florida Tech, is a private university offering a range of degrees in the disciplines of engineering and science. Located in Melbourne, Florida, Florida Tech comprises 5 academic divisions and specializes in the fields of technology, mathematics, science, and engineering.

Its 60,000+ alumni include a director of a NASA center, the first female 4-star general (and 2 other 4-star generals), a major league pitcher, a recipient of the National Teacher of the Year award, five Space Shuttle astronauts, an Olympic medalist, and thousands of respected pilots, scientists, engineers, and managers in high-tech professions.

Florida Tech serves a student body of over 9,000 students. Of these students, roughly 38% study online via the school's virtual campus.
