Founded in 1958, Florida Institute of Technology was originally founded to train professionals in the space program at what is now Kennedy Space Center. Today, the university maintains those close ties, and offers more than 50 degree programs in science, engineering, aviation, business, humanities, psychology, communication, and education. With our world class facilities, a 12:1 student to faculty ratio, and an average class size of 25, Florida Tech will provide you with an experience like no other.

In fall of 2000, Florida Tech opened the state-of-the art F.W. Olin Engineering Complex and the F.W. Olin Life Sciences facility. In 2001, the Charles and Ruth Clemente Center for Sports and Recreation opened and has been the site of the several basketball tournaments. Plans for expansion continue.
