Princeton Review Names Florida Tech a Top ‘Green College’

December 2, 2021 – Florida Tech is home to world-class academics and is also known as being environmentally responsible, which makes it a great choice for students who care about the environment and sustainability and want to study at a green college. The college is in nearby Melbourne, a short drive from Viera.

As a matter of fact, Florida Tech is one of the nation’s greenest, according to The Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges: 2022 Edition. The Princeton Review chose the 420 green schools based on its survey of administrators at 835 colleges in 2020-21 about their institutions’ commitments to the environment and sustainability. The company’s editors analyzed more than 25 survey data points to create its proprietary “Green Rating” and select the schools.

Florida Tech earned a Green Rating of 90. The top Green Rating on the 2022 list is 99; the lowest is 66. It was recognized for a host of positives, including offering  sustainability-focused degrees and programs, utilizing a campus-wide University Sustainability Council, and having a bike share program and campus shuttle with free or reduced-price transit passes.
