Academic Departments

Florida Poly's academic departments are where the University delivers its core mission. Each department administers and delivers degree programs, certificates, and other curricula and engages in leading-edge research and industry relations to advance student learning and educational achievement.

Department Chair: Dr. Michael Brilleslyper, Professor

Applied Mathematics offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics. In addition, the department offers foundational and advanced coursework that supports all the STEM programs at Florida Poly. The program in applied mathematics covers a breadth of mathematical topics, as well as an interdisciplinary sequence in another STEM field. The degree program is flexible and develops the analytical, theoretical, and technical skills needed for high-tech jobs, as well as for further study in graduate school in a variety of disciplines.

Degree Programs:

Interim Department Chair: Dr. Marc Manganaro

The Department of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences mission is to explore the intersections between technology, society, and human experience. The Department offers essential coursework where students advance their skills in communication, research, critical thinking, and open-ended, qualitative problems. Courses in writing, such as Composition or Technical Writing, facilitate students’ learning through meta-cognitive self-awareness, reflective practice, and audience identification. These skills support STEM disciplines in terms of user experience, identifying with clients and industry professionals, and documenting code and other technical specifications that impact our lives in various ways including financial, health and safety, and our overall quality of life.
