      Great military friendly college with flexible learning options for the modern student. I completed my bachelors in Business Administration/Management online and successfully graduated with honors. I attribute my success to the user friendly resources available for online students as well as dedicated and fair professors. I was able to utilize military tuition assistance to cover all of my tuition costs. The school is also continuing to become more recognized as a prestigious learning institution and I feel I am of equal or greater qualifications than many of my professional peers with degrees from UCF, Auburn, Rollins and other major colleges.

      For being such a large school, the classroom sizes are small for a better learning experience. All of my professors have been extremely helpful when needed and you can definitely count on them for any help or questions regarding anything. I hope to continue my education there and absolutely love it! Could not have asked for a better school to attend.
      The school is focused primarily on academics, which is a good fit for me. Coming from two other colleges where I was less focused on my academics and my future, Florida Institute of Technology provides the right environment for me to keep focused. This college is expensive, but provides many scholarship opportunities for students to help afford the school. Florida Institute of Technology is also extremely close to the beach and has beautiful weather year round that allows for students to be outside more often. Coming from the north east this was an important factor for me when considering transferring from a school in Massachusetts.
