An all-STEM curriculum, including 12 bachelor’s degrees and four master’s degrees designed to prepare graduates for careers in today’s fastest-growing fields, Florida Poly is also a nationally ranked University.

In its 2023 Best Colleges list, U.S. News and World Report ranked Florida Poly #1 public college in the Southeast U.S., Top 20 public Engineering Program without a Ph.D., and #2 Best Value publc college in the Southeast U.S.  

With STEM job growth estimated at approximately 25% over the next two years due to an underdeveloped pipeline of high-tech professionals, Florida Poly is providing the kind of graduates Florida needs to impact the global innovation marketplace.

Mutual Success Through Partnerships

Engaging corporations in support for research programs, interaction with students and faculty, and participation in a range of university-wide opportunities exemplifies the convergence of industry and academia. While protecting its intellectual vitality and integrity, Florida Poly seeks to maximize opportunities for partnership and collaboration with industry.
