Florida Technical College
Florida Technical College was founded in 1982 to provide post-secondary training
in specialized business fields. The main campus in Orlando opened in 1982, followed
by the Lakeland campus in 1990, and the DeLand campus in 1997. Classes began at
the Kissimmee, Pembroke Pines, and Tampa campuses in 2011, and the South Miami campus
opened in 2015.
After 40 years of serving Florida’s educational needs, Florida-Technical College
has merged with NUC University, which until now had been a sister Institution. In
addition, NUC University brought two other colleges under its umbrella, The Digital
Animation & Visual Effects (DAVE) School in Florida and IBC Technical Division in Puerto
Rico, for a combined total of 28 campuses and 20,000 students in both Puerto Rico
and Florida.
