What students are saying about us...

  • "The most important lesson I learned at Florida Tech, outside of academics, would be that you can turn your passion into your career. I have been fascinated by animals as long I can remember—I am living my childhood dream!”

    • Cassie Vergason
      ’16, BS in Psychology, ’18, MS in Applied Behavior Analysis & Organizational Behavior Management
    •  
  • “Something I experienced as a Florida Tech student was a continuous push by my professors to think beyond plugging and chugging numbers into various equations. They taught me to think critically about the effects my work would have on people.”

    • Shayna Begay
      ’10, BS in Aerospace Engineering, ’11, MS in Aerospace Engineering
    •  
  • “Being at Florida Tech, I was able to get involved with a lot of programs very easily that taught me project management through real-world experience and allowed me to do things on campus before going out into the professional world.”

    • Zach Eichholz
      ’16, BS in Sustainability Studies,’19, MS in Interdisciplinary Sciences
    •  
  • "Early in my career, I would run into people who had gone to Duke, MIT, and other well-known engineering schools, and they would ask, 'Where did you get exposure to program management?' I attribute Florida Tech and its faculty."
