Florida Tech students enjoy a unique, personalized experience with small classes and one-on-one interaction with their faculty mentors.

Through their teaching, research, professional and community activities, Florida Tech professors integrate business courses with comprehensive accounting courses and hands-on experience into the solid business framework necessary in the real world.

In addition, students have easy access to Florida Tech’s high-tech facilities and resources to support their studies.

At Florida Tech, we are renowned for hands-on learning, and your accounting degree will feature plenty of practical experience.

A highlight will be your comprehensive accounting practicum that integrates academic study with practical experience in the field. You’ll be matched with a host organization of interest, learn how the organization functions and gain practical insight into problem-solving and decision-making processes.

Through written and oral presentations, roundtable discussions, weekly summary reports and work at your host employer’s location, you’ll apply your knowledge and skills to business in the real world.

You’ll gain a more thorough understanding of accounting as you acquire practical experience, expand your professional network and perhaps even land a pre-graduation job offer.

Practicums include host organizations such as:

• Northrop Grumman
• Leonardo DRS
• L3Harris Technologies Inc.
• Enterprise Rent-A-Car
• Space Coast Credit Union
• Health First

Accounting internships are an important part of the student experience at Florida Tech, providing opportunity to work side by side with experts at large and small CPA firms, high-tech companies, governmental entities, nonprofit organizations and service or industrial companies, such as:

• Berman Hopkins CPAs & Associates, LLP
• Brevard County Government
• Leonardo DRS
• Flavin, Nooney & Person, CPA Wealth Advisors
• L3Harris Technologies Inc.
• Merrill
• Northrop Grumman Corp.
• RSM US LLP
• State Farm Insurance

These accounting internships are a hands-on way to obtain experience in the field while also forging connections that can later lead to a career.

Projects and competitions provide more ways to get involved.

• Take advantage of research opportunities supporting faculty investigations or campus-based projects, including the Center for Entrepreneurship and New Business Development, the Center for Ethics and Leadership and the Center for Innovation Management and Business Analytics.
• Tackle ethical challenges from both practical and professional perspectives in an annual competition and participate in a conference that encourages students to learn from business, community and government leaders.
• Explore corporate social responsibility through class projects and individual service.

Accelerated business programs provide focused students the opportunity to complete their studies in a reduced timeframe, compared with a standard-paced approach.

Options include completing the B.S. in accounting degree in three years or completing the bachelor’s plus the M.S. in Accounting and Financial Forensics in four years (3+1) or five (4+1). Students work with their advisor to design a program plan that fulfills all degree requirements.

Florida Tech’s location in a high-tech corridor makes us a great place for an accounting degree. Our area has one of the largest high-tech workforces in the country—and that means numerous internship and employment opportunities for our students. Our 130-acre campus is in the heart of the Space Coast; NASA-Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral is just north of us.

When it’s time to kick back and relax, you’re just minutes from 72 miles of beautiful beaches and a short trip away from the Florida Keys or the Orlando theme parks.

But you won’t have to travel far for rest and relaxation. We also have a rich campus life with intramural and collegiate sports, over 200 campuswide student organizations and clubs and a wide variety of social activities.
