Headquartered in Melbourne, the Florida Institute of Technology serves more than 6,400 students each year. The university offers affordable remote academics through Canvas and allows learners to earn full degrees by taking asynchronous classes. Unlike other online schools, FIT only offers master's programs. Options include operations research, computer information systems, and public administration. Candidates can also earn a master of science in space systems. This 33-credit program synthesizes collaborative learning with hands-on assistantships, preparing learners to design, launch, and maintain all forms of space vehicles and systems. Additionally, FIT delivers comprehensive graduate management degrees. Candidates can pursue a generalist track or opt for specializations in logistics, human resources, and acquisition and contract management. The university also facilitates a master of healthcare management program that enables students to work as chief hospital executives or insurance marketing specialists. Applicants need a minimum 3.0 GPA. They submit GRE/GMAT scores, a resume, a statement of objectives, and a recommendation letter. Online students pay one low, per-credit tuition rate regardless of legal residency.
