Just about every state has a big technical college and the Florida Institute of Technology is Florida’s contribution to the mix. Located in Melbourne, Florida, the Florida Institute of Technology offers students bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degree programs. A private school, FIT was founded in 1958 and is located in an urban type setting. Of the 2,156 students that applied for the 2001-2002 academic year, 1,763 were accepted, making the Florida Institute of Technology a bit selective. Either the SAT or ACT is required for admission and the average SAT score of students was between 1060-1270.

The most popular majors students choose at FIT are electrical engineering, computer engineering, aviation management, marine/aquatic biology, and mechanical engineering. The vast majority of the classes at the Florida Institute of Technology have between 20 and 50 students. Average expenses were nearly $21,000 for the 2002-2003 academic year with another $5,800 or so for room and board. FIT is definitely one of the more expensive schools in Florida. 57% of undergraduates were determined to have financial aid needs and received on average $16,864 in financial aid.
