Florida Institute of Technology Reviews

"I really enjoyed my time with Florida Institute of Technology. The course work was not too challenging or overbearing if you are willing to do the work. I balanced a full time course load while working full time. I did the online applied psychology BA program. They offer a great military discount and they accepted almost all of my transfer credits! The textbooks and lectures really taught me a lot. I also got to meet and learn from some awesome professors with real world experience. I would recommend this school to others!Read Less"

"The education is pretty good. The faculty is nice and they are understanding of a part-time student. But I will admit - I HATE the parking situation. Never have I experienced such a bad time parking. They sell parking spaces for $100, and will ticket you no matter the situation. If you don't put your sticker on your car right - ticket. If you tape the sticker to your car instead of sticking it - ticket. If you can't find a parking spot and are going to be late for a major presentation or exam - ticket. And then they are jerks when you file the paperwork to have your ticket reviewed. If you ask them what they are going to do about the parking situation, they will literally shrug and say "nothing. You should just come earlier" even if you already spend an hour looking for a spot. I seriously think the parking security have a quota and they make thousands in parking tickets from being stupid.Read Less"

"Doing the OL graduate online program was the best decision I ever made. As a veteran, I was grateful that the post 9/11 transferred well with this school. I did not pay a dime. The VA paid the school directly without fail. My adviser at the time, was amazing. He checked in with me weekly and answered all of my questions with urgency. He ordered/mailed my course books and signed me up for every class. I never had to stress about any of that stuff. It was the most relaxing experience. My teachers were all wonderful. Our program chair, was passionate and caring. The program is in excellent hands with her. Regarding the work - some of the group projects were difficult from the online nature of the course. The online exams were also very difficult for me, as they covered everything and were sometimes timed. The course work was interesting. I enjoyed the classes. The workload was not too bad, but it was tough while working full time. My nights and weekends were school-work focused. I am glad the program only had us take one class at a time, so it was not too overwhelming. The degree has helped me grow so much as a person. It is also beneficial in the professional world. Looking back, it was well worth it!Read Less"

"Attending Florida Institute of Technology has prepared me for my career in more ways than one. The College of Aeronautics there offers a group of professors that come from all types of careers in the aviation industry. In all, I would recommend this college if you are interested in a career in aviation."

"I would not recommend this school to my worst enemy. Academics and learning aside, the administration is horrible. The same education can be found at a school which causes you far less headaches. The lack of communication and con district across all departments within the program is astounding given the subject matter. The program allows/requires students work full time but then creates countless hoops that you must jump through and then continuously makes errors on your behalf causing students to have to call in and get assistance only wasting more time. We are full tome graduate students also working full time, figure it out so we do not have to waste what little tome we have contacting the administrative offices.Read Less"

"In my time at FIT, I have learned so much. More than just the academics, the level of support and mentorship from the professors and advisors was better than an experience I could have imagined. I know I will be in touch and continue to learn from those I have met along my journey to becoming a BCBA"

"Great institution to conduct studies located in a great area to live."

"The staff at the Orlando Campus of FIT were so helpful. The instructors worked in the industry and were not just instructors. They included their experience in their lectures which was helpful to me."

"I have always wanted to pursue a graduate degree, and in 2014 with the support of my husband I began looking for a program that would help me advance my career. I looked at several universities in the Central Florida area and after visiting an open house at Florida Institute of Technology, I was sold. The staff that I met at the Open House was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They were able to help me decide what degree I should proceed with and continued to be a source of support even during my studies. The program I decided upon was a Masters Degree in Management. It was a hybrid approach that allowed me to work full time while going to school full time. FIT has very talented professors that teach both online and in the classroom. I was able to reach out to them night and day when I had issues. I had the opportunity to take classes in both the Orlando, Florida and Melbourne, Florida campuses and both were beautiful and modern. FITs motto, High Tech with a Human Touch is very fitting. As a Masters student, I had the ability to interact with professors and classmates from all over the country as well as having the ability to use a wonderful library system. My program was intensive but thoroughly rewarding. I learned so much from class that I found myself applying what I learned during my full time job! I enjoyed the learning process so much that after speaking with one of my professors I decided to look into pursuing either a Doctorate or Ph.D. Lucky for me, FIT also has a Doctorate of Business Administration program which I applied to and was accepted into. My Masters Degree at FIT has helped propel my career and now pursuing a DBA has opened up my eyes to the untapped potential that is still before me. I owe so much to FIT and recommend this institution to anyone looking to pursue their dreams.Read Less"

"Florida Tech was a great experience. I wish they had more degrees available for online learners!"

"I enjoyed my college experience. The teachers were very good and the courses were informative"

"I researched and asked advise from business people who hire MBA grads before choosing Florida Tech. The University Alliance is made up of top tier schools. Negative reviews I am reading are all from students who impress me as having struggled academically; who may have been looking at an easy path to a degree. Complaints that advisers did not respond are misleading. Once you are enrolled the admission advisers are out of the picture and will direct you to contact you professors directly. Florida Tech is not easy. It is hard; demanding. But I felt supported at all times by the professors. They responded quickly to questions. may of my classmates were active duty military officers, a great group of men and women who over the years I've come to know as thoughtful and intelligent. When my employer ended tuition reimbursement the school helped me with a payment program that did not involve any government program or loans. The university just wanted to help me graduate. If you are looking for easy, keep looking. If you are looking for substance look into Florida Tech.Read Less"

"I am incredibly disappointed with this school. They are inflexible and irrational. There are several schools here and it is unclear as to which one to log into and who to call for help. Then when you finally get in touch with the right person after you have been trying they ask "why didn't you call us?" "Sorry, I am unable (aka unwilling) to help." They don't care how hard you are struggling trying to make ends meet, how much you paid for a class, or how difficult it is for you to find a time to take the class. If you make one mistake (meaning I can't figure out how to log in) they charge you. It makes no sense that an online school would not be supportive of a lifestyle that requires an online school.Read Less"

"I transferred to Florida Institute of Technology from Keller Graduate School of Management. I needed a program that was more aggressive and more challenging. I've found just that! Not only is the course work relevant and allows me to engage with my fellow students, the staff has been amazing. I am already applying the theories and principles that I've learned in school to my full time job that I currently have. This is a perfect "mash-up" for me. I am the type of student that does best with applied learning. I would highly recommend this online program to anyone looking to pursue an MBA program.Read Less"

"Florida Institute of technology is a wonderful institution that offer a wide range of educational opportunities. Through the university I'm able to increase my earning potential and also gain a lot of knowledge. The curriculum is very rigorous and at the same time very rewarding. The instructor to student ratio in the classrooms is also well developed and enable the learning environment. After completing my Masters degree I hope to further my education needs with this institution."

"The BA in psychology program is no joke. You *will* need to be organized, a motivated self learner, and learn to navigate online systems quickly if doing online coursework. Don't neglect learning the library. Watch the silly intro videos and do the exercises. You *will* use all of that info for every single class. Their library is a thing of beauty, by the way, and you keep access after graduating. Read the syllabus and ask questions, especially if your'e online. All but 2 of my instructors were stellar. I mean, knock your socks off good teachers. The two, we had... Creative differences that could have been avoided had I not dug my heels in quite so hard. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and the degree landed me a job that I would have never imagined being able to get a month after graduating. A tip you should hold close to is pay attention, commit, and push interaction on discussion boards. Make sure to do every single one and post to at least 2 over the minimum requirement for peer responses - Add something to the convo or ask a question. Those points are invaluable in the end. Seriously.Read Less"

"Florida Institute of Technology was a really great school to attend in earning my MBA in Healthcare Management. All of the professors are very well rounded in their subject areas, and are able to bring their real world experiences in to the classroom. I really loved having the option of attending classes both online and on campus in Melbourne, FL. The professors make themselves available to students and try to accommodate those of us who are working full time jobs. I love being a Panther and am looking forward to utilizing their vast alumni network.Read Less"

"FIT is good, not leading, in some areas like aerospace, aeronautic, Ocean engineering, and psychology. Don't select FIT for majors other than these."

"My degree program catered to students with full time jobs. The instructors included real life job situations in class lectures and assignments."

"Great school with diverse minds. A small school that is Abet accredited with faculty that is easily approachable is golden and that is what Florida Institute of Technology offers the average mind that works through the doors before the mind is transformed."
