About Us

Graduate degree programs are offered at two Spaceport locations—Rockledge and Kennedy Space Center—giving students the chance to pursue a master's degree at an off-campus location near to Florida Tech's main campus in Melbourne.

Most students say their goal of attaining a master's degree is to improve their professional and technical competencies, and enhance their career development and progression. Carrying a normal load of two courses each semester, a qualified student can earn a master's degree in approximately six semesters or two years.

Spaceport offers master's degrees in the following areas of study:

Computer Information Systems

Computer Science

Software Engineering

Space Systems

Space Systems Management.

Students may take courses at Rockledge, KSC or at Florida Tech's main campus in Melbourne, providing flexibility in scheduling and a wide selection of courses. Florida Tech faculty are dedicated professionals and have extensive experience in their respective fields. Couple that with a passion for higher education and you have a win-win.

What People Are Saying

"I live a lifelong strategy of continued education... and plan on obtaining another master's from Florida Tech… in operations research. Professionally I’ve worked as a pilot with FedEx Express in their flight operations division and pilot in the U.S. Navy has given me the opportunity to fly a wide range of aircraft. My intense desire… lifelong goal is to gain employment at NASA as a pilot with JSC flight operations. There are only a handful of schools that offer the space systems program… and I’m happy to say this degree… and all I’ve learned will help me improve my standing among the NASA applicants." Oscar J.
