Florida Institute of Technology-Online

What is the cost of studying for a year at Florida Institute of Technology-Online?

For 2024-25 reporting, Florida Tech Online's published average full-time undergraduate tuition was $12,480, with $300 in required fees, for $12,780 in tuition and fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These amounts do not include books, equipment, internet access or living expenses.

• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $520 per credit hour.
• Full-time graduate tuition: $16,560, plus $300 in required fees.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $920 per credit hour.

The figures above are from the same 2024-25 reporting period; a current tuition schedule may differ. Online students generally budget for housing and meals where they live rather than treating Melbourne residence-hall charges as part of their online bill. A cost-of-attendance estimate for financial-aid purposes can include living, transportation and other expenses even when the university does not bill for them directly.

Aid can substantially change the amount paid. In the reported undergraduate population, 82% received some form of financial aid, while 57% had student loans. Average grant aid awarded to undergraduates from federal, state, local, institutional or other sources was $6,307. A grant average is not an individual award; applicants should compare their own aid offer with the tuition schedule and their expected living costs. Eligible students generally begin the federal aid process with the FAFSA and should separately check institutional, state, employer and military-benefit rules.

What are the work-study opportunities at Florida Institute of Technology-Online?

An online student can work while studying, but a part-time job, an internship and Federal Work-Study serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid for eligible students who secure qualifying employment; it is earned through wages, not credited in full against tuition at the start of a term.

Students interested in work-study should complete the FAFSA and ask Florida Tech's financial-aid and student-employment offices whether they qualify and which jobs can be performed remotely or near their home. Ordinary employment does not require a work-study award. For career-related work, students should also ask the relevant academic program about internship credit and use the university's career resources for job-search and application guidance. Availability of an appropriate position should not be treated as guaranteed aid.
