Top-rated Guide Again Names Florida Tech Among Best Schools

MELBOURNE, FLA. — Florida Institute of Technology is included among 330 public and private schools nationwide and is one of just nine in Florida chosen by
the “Fiske Guide to Colleges.” Fiske places Florida Tech in the “inexpensive” category for private schools and lists it under the heading, “Engineering/Top
Technical Institutes.” USA Today calls the book, “The best college guide you can buy.”

The Fiske Guide calls itself selective and subjective. It doesn’t try to cover all of the United States’ more than 2,200 four-year colleges but showcases
the colleges it considers best, most interesting and the ones that students “most want to know about.”

The 2010 edition selects the country’s best and most interesting colleges and universities from among all the four-year U.S. institutions. In addition, an
effort was made to achieve geographic diversity and a balance of public and private schools.

Fiske rates colleges separately, from one to five, on academics, social life and quality of life. A grade of three, which Florida Tech got in each area, is
the typical score of schools in the book.

Florida Tech, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, is regularly featured in other guides, such as those by U.S. News and World Report and the
Princeton Review.
