How It Works

Our students enroll as Rattlers or Seminoles and start their college experience on the home campus. Once prerequisites are complete, they learn, study and research together at our shared engineering building and graduate from their home university. 

3000+ students 63% increase in grad enrollment over past 5 years
$43.7M Annual research expenditures in 2023
240 Awards Research Awards issued in 2023

Research Opportunities

FSU InSPIRE: The nation’s hub for aerodynamics and advanced manufacturing.

The Institute for Strategic Partnerships, Innovation, Research, and Education (FSU InSPIRE) will be a dynamic hub where applied research, development, and testing collide. It will serve as a catalyst for translating innovative ideas into practical solutions, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications. The joint college is proud to be the academic partner for InSPIRE.
