Corporate Impact Network

The Corporate Impact Network (CIN) recognizes companies whose commitment to Florida Poly's mission is shown through active engagement and merit-level donations.

Investing in the World’s Future STEM Leaders

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 public 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.
