About This Profile

×

Every summer, the BSchools.org team updates school profiles like this one to provide a current, up to date list of schools offering online MBA programs for the upcoming academic year.

We collect the school and program data ourselves, then review the profiles for accuracy, and then send them off for final review by the school.

When the school’s representative provides feedback, we make any necessary updates and mark the profile as “Reviewed by School”.

We collect and validate the same data for every school in our database, regardless of whether or not the school is an advertiser (sponsor). Click any “sponsor” link to learn more.

The Florida Institute of Technology (FIT; Florida Tech) was founded in 1958 as Brevard Engineering College. Jerome P. Keuper, a physicist working at Cape Canaveral, first developed the idea for the college. Florida Tech’s mission is to develop global thinkers, problem solvers, and future leaders to advance knowledge and improve the human condition. Core values guide Florida Tech programs focused on academic excellence, accessible, inclusive and immersive student-centered education, leadership, and boundary-breaking innovation.

The Florida Tech Nathan M. Bisk College of Business offers an online master of business administration (MBA) program with ten specializations: accounting, accounting and finance, cybersecurity, finance, healthcare management, information technology management, management, marketing, project management, and project management in information technology (IT). This large variety of specializations makes the Florida Tech MBA program appealing to a large student body who, upon graduation, go on to fulfill FIT’s ambitious vision in a multitude of ways.

Florida Tech is accredited by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate’s, baccalaureate, master’s, education specialist, and doctoral degrees. Florida Tech’s College of Business is accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE).

Admission Requirements: Applicants must submit an online application accompanied by official documentation of high school graduation or award of a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) if they are applying with less than 24 semester credit hours completed at an accredited institution. Applicants must also submit official transcripts of all accredited colleges and universities they have attended or are presently attending.

Furthermore, applicants must also submit official records if they have completed CLEP/Advanced Placement exams, GED college-level examinations, and/or DANTES, USAFI examinations, Regent Standardized Examinations or other advanced placement examinations. Credit hours earned from accredited schools are automatically evaluated for potential use as transfer hours as part of the formal application process. For coursework to be deemed potentially eligible for transfer, a student must have had a grade of C- or better in the course. No application fee is required to apply.

The aforementioned requirements are identical across all ten MBA specializations. Because admissions requirements are subject to change, it is recommended that all prospective applicants contact a student services representative to verify current admission requirements.

State Restrictions: Florida Tech welcomes students from a variety of backgrounds, including international applicants and military personnel. Separated or retired military servicemembers must provide a copy of their DD-214 form as part of their application. Active-duty personnel must provide a NOBE DD2384. Military applicants can obtain assistance with the application process, education financing and other matters via the FIT Office of Military and Veteran Student Services.

Florida Tech recognizes an international applicant as a non-U.S. citizen or any U.S. citizen whose high school degree, undergraduate degree or undergraduate coursework was earned outside the mainland United States. Please note that “mainland US” is here defined to include Hawaii and Alaska. Florida Tech recognizes international diplomas and credits taken at accredited secondary and post-secondary institutions upon receipt of all appropriate official documentation and credentials. Students holding diplomas beyond the high school level have their academic work evaluated by the Office of Online Learning.

To apply, international applicants must follow the same process as domestic applicants but also provide proof of English language proficiency when required and English language translations of official transcripts not initially prepared in English. An approved agency must evaluate academic credit earned outside the United States. English language proficiency may be demonstrated via testing provided by many testing providers. A full listing of accepted providers can be found within the program description on the Florida Tech website.

Study Plan: Students can complete the MBA program within approximately two years. Students interested in completing their program of study part-time or over an extended time period should contact a student services representative to verify current Florida Tech policy regarding degree study planning.

MBA Curriculum: MBA students complete a 36-credit hour curriculum consisting of 21 credits of core courses, 12 credits of concentration courses and a three-credit hour capstone course focused on strategic management. This curriculum design is the same across all ten available specializations. A listing of concentration courses specific to each specialization appears below.

Online Experience: Florida Tech’s online MBA degree program is offered fully online. This is true for all ten specializations. There are no on-campus coursework or other participation requirements to complete this program. Florida Tech recognizes the value of using online learning to enhance accessibility and broaden the pool of applicants who ultimately enroll, study, and graduate.

On-Site Requirements: As noted above, the MBA degree program is offered fully online. There are no on-campus requirements. However, students are encouraged to participate in the on-campus graduation ceremony in Melbourne, Florida if they can.

Paying for the Florida Tech Online MBA Degree Programs

The online MBA degree program tuition figures are listed in the tables below. The tuition rate is the same for all specializations profiled on this page. Prospective students should closely review tuition information and contact Florida Tech for additional support with applications and questions as needed.

The Florida Tech website features several resources, including a summary of cost of attendance, a calendar related to its withdrawal policy, a brief description of how to apply for financial aid, and a short listing of potential scholarship resources.

Students may qualify for financial aid to finance their education. To apply for financial aid to attend an academic program, applicants may submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students may also be able to finance their education through other means, including grants, scholarships, private loans, and more. Students of particular backgrounds may also qualify for additional financial assistance. For example, military personnel may be eligible for a tuition discount depending on their location and program of study. In addition, some active-duty military personnel may also qualify for the Wisdom Warrior Program. More details about this program and other resources for military personnel and students of other backgrounds can be found online.
