Picatinny Arsenal is located in New Jersey’s Morris County
approximately 35 miles west of New York City. Although it was
established as an Army installation in 1880, the Arsenal’s colorful
history goes back to Revolutionary days, to General George
Washington and the Continental Army.
Picatinny is the home of the U.S. Army Armament Research
and Development Engineering Center (ARDEC). The mission of
ARDEC primarily involves the development and improvement of
U.S. military weapon systems and ammunition.
Under agreement with the commander, ARDEC, Florida Tech
provides graduate programs to U.S. government military personnel,
their dependents, veterans, civilian employees of the installation,
contractor personnel, dependents of the foregoing and such other
persons as may have access to Picatinny Arsenal under the installation
access policy and who meet admission requirements of the university.
This agreement has been ongoing since 1978 when Florida
Tech’s graduate program began at Picatinny.
Florida Tech is dedicated to continuing its participation in the
Picatinny community by providing educational programs of distinction
in management and technology. Toward this end, Florida
Tech’s master’s degrees listed herein are designed to achieve the
following:
1. Increase management skills among military and civilian personnel
involved in planning, directing and controlling the various
projects and programs assigned.
2. Provide the latest knowledge in management, contract management
and program management to maintain a strong technological
base and promote improved weaponry.
3. Provide the latest managerial problem-solving techniques in a
variety of areas to effectively support United States armed forces.
The curriculum and prerequisites for each degree offered at this
site can be found in this catalog.
Personnel interested in seeking admission to one of these graduate
programs or in some other program offered by Florida Tech are
