Capella University Transfer Question

So I'm set to begin a Masters Course in ABA with Capella Univeristy, but I understand it is not ABAI accredited as a ABA program. The university itself is regionally accredited - but the program isn't recognized by the ABAI (their courswork is acceptable to sit for the BCBA exam) per the BACB. But I wanted to know if I began my coursework with Capella in order to raise my GPA, would I be able to transfer to FIT and do they accept credits from Capella?

Scholarships

I am an international student applying to Florida Tech and have been awarded a $16,000 per year scholarship with my admission. Is this a typical amount, or should I consider seeking additional funding? Additionally, are there any other scholarships or financial aid opportunities that I could explore to help reduce the overall cost?

Upload Green Card Information

First of all, thanks for reading this. I am currently preparing my application to Florida Institute of Technology and I am applying through Common App. I was asked to upload my green card information, as I am not a United States Citizen, but a Permanent Resident. However, I do not know how to upload it. Do I have to upload only a picture of the card itself, front and back?

ABA online: handbooks and fluency flashcards

has anyone decided to purchase all of these and think its worth the money? the handbooks are basically the slides that you can download frkm your course (while taking it only) on your computer except way more content and organized better? and the fluency flashcards are in the units also but when you graduate FIT you will not longer have access to the digital one? so im wondering if buying the physical cards will be more beneficial long term

Florida Tech Online Discord

Hi everyone, if you're an online student I've created a Discord server separate from the main server. It's more of a group chat for those who don't know what Discord is.

https://discord.gg/g6jBJqbpgf

It's all set up properly for the most part. You can also find it by going to Discover and joining the student hub with your Florida Tech email. Non-online students can also join.

FIT aba masters online questions

Hello, guys I’m going to start Florida institute of technology aba in masters practice online program this is the 5th edition. I start in a couple of weeks and I’m nervous can anyone tell me how the program is I’ll be doing full time but it doesn’t seem too bad cuz I’ll be taking three classes but not at the same time I have two that start in a couple weeks and one in November that start. Can you break down how the curriculum is and how it is managing the course load and working as an RBT 30 hours a week. I decided 30 hours a week would be fine compared to my usual 40+ hours. Please details details!

Any feedback is accepted!

Transfer

Hello all,

I am a senior who goes to UConn and I’ve been a manufacturing engineering major there and I’ve been trying to switch to Mechanical Engineering, however they have denied me despite being qualified. Now that it’s my senior year I have to take senior design and they won’t let me. So I applied and was accepted to Florida tech.

In short: I can go to Florida tech coming in with around 75 credits and in the mechanical engineering major or I can stay at uconn and do an extra year, and that extra year I will only be taking senior design.

Both options now require an extra semester minimum, so for people at Florida tech… what would you recommend?

Software for Aerospace Engineering student

Starting my first year at FIT this August, just wondering what software I will be expected to download as an Aerospace engineering major (astronautics concentration). I know I won't be doing simulations my first semester, but I want to get a head start at learning the software! I’m also looking to upgrade my laptop and the software demands will help me gauge which one is better!

I just got admitted to Florida Tech online!!!!

Idk if I should be surprised or not. I applied for AS Computer Information Systems for Fall 2024 term 1 as an international student studying from abroad. I sent my transcripts, diploma, resume (with honors, test scores, freelance experience, skills, and languages), and SAT scores (1230 total, 610 reading, 620 math), and I will take the Duolingo English Test later next month. Btw my high school cumulative GPA is 3.07, I graduated last year. Now the question is if I should enroll or not, since It's not clear if I can use the degree to transfer to a 4-year university in Florida (UF, my dream school, doesn't clarify if they accept the degree and course credits by default).

Florida Tech online associates degree

hey guys, I was looking for a college in Florida that has Fully online associate's degrees, because I live abroad and trying to save some money right now, and I just discovered that Florida Tech has some. I want to get a bachelor's degree from a public Florida university (thinking of UF) after I get my associate's degree first. Are the courses and the degree useful in this case (transferring to another institution)? I have known about Florida Tech for about a year now and always thought it was public until I realized it's private and courses might not transfer 1:1. Also, DEI policies are a big thing for me (prefer not to have any), does DEI play a role in online degrees or is it only if you're on campus? Also, I have a 3.1 GPA and 1230 SAT and will probably take Duolingo for English proficiency (I'm already near native so not a big problem for me)

Edit: And also, what's the difference between transfer hours and credit hours? I know what credit hours are but not "transfer hours" (for associates: 45 transfer hours, 61 credit hours)

2 different Behavior Analysis

Hello everyone, my wife is planning on applying for a Behavior Analysis Practice M.S. at FIT (online course), but on the application portal, there are two different options:

  • Behavior Anlysis Professional Practice, with enrollment open for the Spring of 2025 term
  • Behavior Anlysis Practice 5th Edition, with enrollment open for the Fall of 2024 term

Looking it up on FIT’s website there seems to be information only about the “Behavior Analysis Program”, with no distinction between these two. Does anyone know what the difference are? She wants to start it asap so if the 5th edition one is good to get the BCBA certification, that would be great

Thank you

Help Needed with Housing Options at Florida Institute of Technology

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share that I've been admitted to the Florida Institute of Technology! However, I'm unsure about which housing option or dormitory to choose for this upcoming year as an undergraduate student. I've planned to live on campus but could use advice on the best dorms available.

Additionally, I would greatly appreciate your insights if anyone has information about off-campus living options.

Thank you all in advance for your help!

What to expect?

Hello, I am going to FIT as an aviation-flight student. I have submitted housing forms and deposits, is there anything else I need to submit before orientation? Some flight schools require FAA medicals, does FIT require that before orientation?
