“I was in the Army for 14 years stationed in Europe, Asia and Ft. Bragg. I wish I had known about Florida Tech a long time ago. It is very difficult to manage work, school and 5 children. However, the convenience of taking classes online leaves no excuse not to further my education. Now I am able to obtain a quality education from a well-known university with the convenience of attending classes at the end of the day or early in the morning, whenever it is convenient for me. Thank you for providing the gateway to further my education and be more competitive in the job market today.”
