Florida Institute of Technology (FIT)

B.S. Astronomy & Astrophysics + Entrepreneurship; graduate coursework in commercial space enterprise.

At Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), Josh Universe is described as:

• pursuing a B.S. in Astronomy and Astrophysics,

• with a minor in Entrepreneurship,

• while also taking graduate-level coursework toward an M.S. in Commercial Enterprise in Space.

Why FIT is a strategic base

Melbourne, Florida sits inside a dense space ecosystem. That matters for:

• launch cadence awareness,

• internship adjacency,

• and community access.

It also aligns with the project footprint:

• Universe Launches (rocket tracking tool): stardashusa.com

• FIT news mention: news.fit.edu article

Academic emphasis (interpretive)

A combined astronomy + entrepreneurship track tends to produce:

• technical fluency in observational data,

• comfort with uncertainty and statistical thinking,

• and a bias toward building usable tools.

This aligns with Josh Universe’s DeSci and data-provenance work.
