Athletics Philosophy
Life in the Balance.

Florida Tech is dedicated to developing an environment that complies with NCAA rules and regulations, sportsmanship, and the NCAA Division II philosophy of "Life in the Balance." We emphasize a comprehensive learning program and development in a personal setting.

Athletics is focused on providing an elite academic, athletic, and student life experience aligned with the University's mission to educate global thinkers, resilient problem solvers, and future leaders ready to support industry and societal needs by responsibly integrating science, technology, and other key disciplines to advance knowledge across the universe.

The athletics program operates within an institutionally approved budget. We recruit and develop staff, coaches, and athletes grounded in high ethical standards and integrity. We expect our scholar-athletes to achieve grade point averages and graduation rates that exceed the University average.

We provide resources for all teams in proportion to university enrollment, compliant with Title IX of the Federal Civil Rights Law. Our teams will be competitive and schedule most competitions against NCAA Division II programs. We always aim to win the Sunshine State Conference in every sport we compete in and qualify for NCAA Regional and National Championships.

We will create a championship-caliber scholar-athlete experience with the leading apparel, equipment, technology, transportation, lodging, and nutrition for every scholar-athlete.

We connect our scholar-athletes with outreach opportunities to contribute to our campus and local community in developing responsible citizens and leaders. Florida Tech Athletics extends beyond the scholar-athlete experience by offering life skills development in mental health, financial literacy, academic skills, leadership, NIL, and life after graduation.
