The Florida Institute of Technology (FIT; Florida Tech) was founded in 1958 as Brevard Engineering College. Jerome P. Keuper, a physicist working at Cape Canaveral, first developed the idea for the college. Florida Tech’s mission is to develop global thinkers, problem solvers and future leaders to advance knowledge and improve the human condition. Florida Tech programs are guided by core values focused on academic excellence, accessible, inclusive and immersive student centered education, leadership, and boundary-breaking innovation.

The Florida Tech Nathan M. Bisk College of Business offers an online master of business administration (MBA) in healthcare management. This program is designed for working professionals seeking to expand their career options without being required to fully leave the workforce to complete additional education. The 100 percent online curriculum focuses primarily on the medical aspects of information management. Prominent course topics include healthcare policy and law, healthcare planning and marketing, information management, organizational behavior, and finance management. The curriculum is designed to teach students mastery of practical applications and help them develop critical soft skills.

Florida Tech is accredited by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate’s, baccalaureate, master’s, education specialist, and doctoral degrees. Florida Tech’s College of Business is accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE).

Admission Requirements: Applicants must submit an online application accompanied by official documentation of high school graduation or award of a General Equivalency Diploma (GED), and official transcripts of all accredited colleges and universities previously attended or presently attending. Applicants must also submit official records if they have completed CLEP/Advanced Placement exams, GED college-level examinations, and/or DANTES, USAFI examinations, Regent Standardized Examinations or other advanced placement examinations. Credit hours earned from accredited schools are automatically evaluated for potential use as transfer hours as part of the formal application process. No application fee is required to apply.

Because admissions requirements are subject to change, it is recommended that all prospective applicants contact a student services representative to verify current admission requirements.

State Restrictions: Florida Tech welcomes students from various backgrounds, including international applicants and military personnel. Separated or retired military servicemembers must provide a copy of their DD-214 form as part of their application. Active-duty personnel must provide a NOBE DD2384. Military applicants can obtain assistance with the application process, education financing, and other matters via the FIT Office of Military and Veteran Student Services.

Florida Tech recognizes an international applicant as a non-U.S. citizen or any U.S. citizen whose high school degree, undergraduate degree, or undergraduate coursework was earned outside the mainland United States. Please note that “mainland US” is here defined to include Hawaii and Alaska. Florida Tech recognizes international diplomas and credits taken at accredited secondary and post-secondary institutions upon receipt of all appropriate official documentation and credentials. Students holding diplomas beyond the high school level have their academic work evaluated by the Office of Online Learning.

To apply, international applicants must follow the same process as domestic applicants but also provide proof of English language proficiency when required and English language translations of official transcripts not initially prepared in English. An approved agency must evaluate academic credit earned outside the United States. English language proficiency may be demonstrated via testing provided by several testing providers. A full listing of accepted providers can be found within the program description on the Florida Tech website.

Study Plan: Students can complete the 36-credit MBA program within approximately two years. Students interested in completing their program of study part-time or over an extended time period should contact a student services representative to verify current Florida Tech policy regarding degree study planning.

MBA Curriculum: Students complete a 36-credit-hour curriculum consisting of 21 credits of core courses, 12 credits of concentration courses and a three-credit-hour capstone course focused on strategic management. Core courses include essentials of business development (two courses), managerial economics, managerial accounting, financial management, organizational behavior, marketing management, and a directed elective course. The four required concentration courses focus on healthcare policy, information management in healthcare, legal aspects of healthcare, and healthcare planning and marketing.

Online Experience: Florida Tech’s MBA healthcare management degree program is fully online. There are no on-campus coursework or other participation requirements to complete this program. Florida Tech recognizes the value of using an online learning model to enhance accessibility and thereby broaden the pool of qualified applicants who will ultimately be able to enroll.

On-Site Requirements: As noted above, the MBA healthcare management degree is offered fully online. There are no on-campus requirements. However, students are encouraged to participate in the on-campus graduation ceremony in Melbourne, Florida if they can.

The tuition figures for the online MBA degree program are listed in the tables below. Prospective students should closely review tuition information and contact Florida Tech for additional support with applications and questions as needed.

The Florida Tech website features several resources, including a summary of cost of attendance, a calendar related to its withdrawal policy, a brief description of how to apply for financial aid, and a short listing of potential scholarship resources.

Students may qualify for financial aid to finance their education. To apply for financial aid to attend an academic program, applicants may submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students may also be able to finance their education through other means, including grants, scholarships, private loans, and more. Students of particular backgrounds may also qualify for additional financial assistance. For example, military personnel may be eligible for a tuition discount depending on their location and program of study. In addition, some active-duty military personnel may also qualify for the Wisdom Warrior Program. More details about this program can be found online.
