Success Stories

The experience of earning my BA in Business Administration with a specialization in Management online from Florida Tech has been a great one. I can’t wait to walk across that stage to accept my degree. I appreciate the ability to work at my own pace, and get the help I need by talking with the instructors and online support as much as I can. They are willing to help at anytime. Being an active-duty military member and reservist, I know how hard it is to find time to apply for school and get the ball rolling. Florida Tech helps get you in the right direction, then you can be on your way.“

I really like the fact that I can take classes and study the material around my very busy schedule. In addition, the classes are challenging and full of very valuable information. Although the courses are online, the material is very substantive and you don’t feel as though you’re missing something that may be offered in the classroom experience. When I’m online communicating with my instructors or classmates, it’s extremely valuable. I would strongly recommend Florida Tech because of the reputation of the institution and their strong commitment to educate our nation’s servicemembers and their families.“

I have been practicing as a lawyer in California since 1988, with stops in Hong Kong and London. I chose to pursue a graduate degree at Florida Tech initially because of its reputation and affiliation with NASA. The accreditation and method of instruction were also important. My job involves a substantial amount of traveling so I needed a course of instruction that was flexible enough to accommodate my absences from the U.S. The online course was ideal since I could do the work while away or on the airplane. I even managed to make a few friends during the classes.“

With my last time in college being over 10 years ago, I thought an MS in IT would give me a better understanding, not just of technology but of how technology fits within the larger business model. I was pleased to find an online program through a real, established brick-and-mortar school like Florida Tech. I particularly liked the flexibility of viewing lectures — during the week or on the weekend ­— without significantly impacting my time with my family.“

What I really didn't expect from the program was the real-world experience of the instructors. Many of my instructors held executive positions in business industries. With that they brought value to the class that I may not have gotten from a career teacher.“

I love attending classes online around my schedule. The program allows me to do it all: work full time and go to school without sacrificing my social life. And the fact that my employer's tuition assistance program covers the cost is the icing on the cake!“

I'm getting a better understanding of the business side of the industry, as well as the technical side of information systems and systems management. I'm picking up new skills I can use on the job as I go and with my degree, I'm positioning myself for a bigger pay increase come review time.“
