degree requirements queries

I'm an international student and the degree requirements confuse me a bit. I'm looking to study undergraduate, BS in astrobiology. Do the requirements for the different high school years apply for me too? As nowhere on the page, there's mentioned a separate thing for international applicants.

Flight in 4 years likely?

For people currently in the program or past, how likely is it that you finish the flight program in four years with or without PPL coming in? Do you have to fly over the summer to finish in 4 years, or will flying over the summer help you finish in less time?

Got into FIT for MS Aerospace. Looking for Assistantships. (International student)

I am an international student (Indian). I got accepted into the MS Aerospace Engineering program at Florida Institute of Technology, and have been looking to apply for assistantships since then. The website asks your to contact your academic unit to apply for positions. I did so and the HoD asked me to write to Professors in my research areas. I wrote to about 3-4 professors in my area of interest, but I haven't received a response yet. Is this normal? Also, how do we apply for TAs.

Florida Tech vs Milwaukee School of Engineering

I’m very torn between the two. I’m looking to go into computer engineering. I really liked Florida techs maker spaces, I’m certified in CAD and welding so I like to goof off with tools. Any advice on making a decision between the two? I really like MSOEs class catalog for computer engineering.

What is the Space Systems M.S like?

Hello!! I’m interested in getting a graduate degree in a space related field. My undergrad is in Meteorology, so I have calculus/physics foundations but I’m not interested in doing a masters that’s as equation focused as my undergrad. All that to say, how technical is the Space Systems M.S? Is it engineering? Or conceptual? I was trying to find syllabi from the courses online but had no luck.

I can't keep up with classes

I'm in the online college and at first it was going great, but now I just find it lame and can't keep up with courses. For those who don't know I have 8-week terms instead of a normal 16-week semester. In the first fall term, I took 2 relatively easy courses, and this term I'm taking COM1101 and MTH1701. Ever since the start of this term I often find myself submitting late assignments and having a few missing ones. I live abroad and because the deadlines aren't too strict I often write them at 3 AM instead of doing them in the day. It's the 4th week in this term and I'm getting sidetracked by other things. I'm also unhappy that I only got $500 in financial aid for how expensive this school is. I can only think about transferring to another college and going on campus now that the election is over. Keep in mind that I'm an international student and I have to prove I have funds for tuition and fees+housing+expenses if I go to any school not online. Does anyone else have the same experience?

Thoughts about Florida tech

I was just accepted into Florida tech. I’m majoring in forensic psychology. I would love to hear from any students about the campus, if they enjoy Florida tech and any insight on the major if possible.

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?
