Office of Academic Affairs
Welcome to the University of South Florida Polytechnic! It is an exciting time for USF Poly with the development of innovative academic programs and the building of a state of the art campus along Florida's High Tech Corridor, designed by world renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. As Florida's first public, polytechnic university of the 21st century, the interdisciplinary approach of applied learning and research by faculty who value the ideal of the "scholar-teacher-practitioner" provides for a rich, collaborative learning environment for students. The opportunity for students to work alongside faculty in the application of cutting-edge research and technology to address real world needs and forge collaborative partnerships that support economic, social, and community development will prepare students for the ever changing global marketplace of the 21st century. I encourage you to explore the academic programs and the teaching and research interests of the faculty within the Colleges of Technology & Innovation, Human & Social Sciences, and Applied Arts & New Media and be a part of the USF Poly community.
