| They have an excellent optics (branch of EE) program. Pretty good at industrial engineering. They're the second best option for engineering in the state (behind UF). Don't know much about anything else.
Business is the most popular major there.

| Awesome facilities for their Hospitality Management school, and the program itself is quickly climbing the ranks. http://www.hospitality.ucf.edu/ | |

| Don't forget the new medical school, which is a huge feather in UCF's cap. And Miss America 2004, Erica Dunlap, who held the title while attending UCF. :-) | |

| Watch Cheerleader U on WE TV.
WB's Big Man on Campus was a reality dating show filmed at UCF.
UCF's Ericka Dunlap was Miss America 2004. | |

| Big Man on Campus was at UCF? Interesting.
Not that this is probably what you're looking for, but the gym they film at for the movie Sydney White is UCF's... apparently a lot of other films have snippets of the campus. So it's a really photogenic campus. | |
