<p>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.</p>

<p>Business is the most popular major there.</p>

<p>Awesome facilities for their Hospitality Management school, and the program itself is quickly climbing the ranks.

<p>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. :-)</p>

<p>Big Man on Campus was at UCF? Interesting.</p>

<p>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.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I agree with the cheerleading thing. Just got finish watching a couple of episodes on WE. UCF campus looks great on that show.</p>

<p>apparently Sydney White was filmed there also</p>

<p>sydney white was filmed at UCF, Rollins and at Sail Inst. The scenes in the Rec Center and in the sorority house were filmed at UCF. They used a temp. unoccupied greek house and lots of UCF students as extras. This was last year.</p>
