For the second year in a row, Florida Polytechnic University is ranked the No. 1 public college by U.S. News and World Report in the Southern region of the United States. In its\u00a02022-2023 Best Colleges<\/a>\u00a0list, the University also ranked third among all top colleges in the region \u2013 both public and private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nationally, Florida Poly was ranked as a top 30 public engineering program without a Ph.D., at number 28, among 230 public and private institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University is also ranked as the No. 1 best college in the region for veterans and No. 2 among schools in the region whose students graduate with the least student debt. Additionally, Florida Poly was recognized as one of the top 30 best-value schools in the region, factoring academic quality and cost after total expenses and financial aid. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud U.S. News is once again recognizing Florida Poly as an excellent provider of core STEM education at a great value,\u201d said Dr. Randy K. Avent, Florida Poly\u2019s president. \u201cOur leading-edge curriculum and deliberately small classes are a proven combination to support student success. The outstanding achievements of our students and alumni in industry and beyond are solid proof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. News rankings<\/a> are evidence of Florida Poly\u2019s continued momentum and growth. The fall 2022 class of incoming students<\/a> is the most academically talented in the school\u2019s history, and first-time-in-college applications increased 31% this year, and 101% since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Applied Research Center<\/a>, a 90,000-square-foot cutting-edge facility, recently opened its doors, expanding the University\u2019s research capabilities and reinforcing its mission toward academic excellence. Fortune 500 company IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances) will soon break ground for its new innovation center, becoming Florida Poly\u2019s first high-tech partner on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Florida Poly\u2019s reputation as a top STEM university continues to grow, people across the country increasingly are taking notice,\u201d said Dr. Ben Matthew Corpus, vice provost for enrollment management at the University. \u201cStudents and parents are looking for quality, in-demand degrees that will prepare graduates for lifetime employability and exceptional careers, but they also want affordability. Our modest tuition, together with financial aid and scholarships, is very attractive for many highly talented students who want to succeed as high-tech professionals.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
