As in other departments, the General Studies program offers a low student-to-faculty ratio that encourages close collaboration and mentorship that can help provide guidance to students for declaring a major the following year.
Faculty in the College of Psychology and Liberal Arts are accomplished researchers and dedicated instructors. Many hold Florida Tech's Teaching Excellence Award for outstanding classroom work. Florida Tech's technical environment also fosters interdisciplinary study alongside engineers, scientists and aviators offering an opportunity for General Studies program students to participate in undergraduate research.
General studies program students are advised by faculty in each of the programs noted above, and are assigned a new advisor in the appropriate academic unit when they choose a degree program.
