Florida Institute of Technology
High Tech with a Human Touch
The Department of Physics and Space Sciences at Florida Tech offers students a solid foundation in the physical sciences with the personalized attention of our 18 full-time faculty. Our department was the first in the country to offer a degree in Space Sciences, and we are still among only a handful that offers this degree today. Our graduates obtain employment at NASA, in the private-sector space industry, and academia.
We offer our students unique real-world learning opportunities in a range of areas:
- Astronomy and Astrophysics (using our new Olin Observatory, which houses our 0.8-m Ortega Telescope, or the SARA 0.9-m telescope located at Kitt Peak National Observatory outside Tucson, Arizona)
- High Energy Physics (in our HEP and Detector Development Laboratories)
- Solid State Physics
- Space Physics
- Lightning Research
