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
encouraged to discuss their career plans and goals with the site director

for payment of veterans benefits to qualified students at the Picatinny
Arsenal. Consult the site director for programs currently approved
