Top Ranked Programs
Florida Polytechnic University's program mix is defined almost entirely by Engineering — a focused, technically oriented portfolio that reflects the university's identity as a specialized polytechnic institution in Lakeland, Florida. The five most-enrolled programs are Computer Science (91 graduates), Mechanical Engineering (45 graduates), Computer Engineering (39 graduates), Data Analytics (17 graduates), and Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering (16 graduates), all concentrated within engineering and applied computing fields. This concentration — with Engineering accounting for 46% of graduates — makes Florida Polytechnic University one of the most program-focused institutions in the Azimuth coverage set. The strongest-ranked programs by earnings cluster in computer and electrical engineering. Azimuth ranks Computer Engineering #47 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with a cohort of 39 graduates earning median earnings of $92,109. Azimuth ranks Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering #145 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 16 graduates earning median earnings of $90,086. Azimuth ranks Mechanical Engineering #229 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with 45 graduates earning median earnings of $70,314. Azimuth ranks Mechanical Engineering #229 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $70,314. These are high-mobility, direct-to-workforce programs where four-year earnings reflect actual labor-market outcomes rather than a pre-graduate-school waypoint. Computer Engineering and Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering follow a similar pattern — graduates from these fields enter technology and engineering roles directly, and the [supply and demand for college graduates](/analysis/supply-demand-map-college-degrees/) framework places both families in sectors with sustained national hiring demand.
