HAMPTON ROADS
Florida Tech maintains an off-campus site to serve the Hampton Roads, Virginia,
area, with two convenient offices. On the Virginia Peninsula, the Fort Eustis office
in the Army Education Center serves as the central office. A branch site office in
Building CEP 87 on Norfolk Naval Station supports students on the south side of
Hampton Roads.
The local Florida Tech program originally operated under a military waiver from the
Commonwealth of Virginia, with courses limited to the military and Department of
Defense civilian employees. In 1991 Florida Tech’s graduate program received state
approval to extend its service to dependents and members of the general public. Today,
the student body is a richly diverse group from each of the military installations in the
area, the NASA program at Langley Research Center, Northrop Grumman, Newport
News Shipbuilding and a variety of technological corporations and general businesses
on both sides of Hampton Roads.
Florida Tech is annually rated among top National Universities in the U.S. News &
World Report annual exclusive rankings of America’s best buys in education. Graduate
courses in Hampton Roads’ master’s degree programs are taught by outstanding faculty
members recruited from business and industry, with most having terminal (Ph.D.,
D.B.A. or J.D.) degrees within subject areas.
Florida Tech conducts graduate programs under a Memorandum of Understanding
with the various commands, with graduate courses offered at Fort Eustis, Fort Monroe,
NASA’s Langley Research Center, Dam Neck, Coast Guard Station Portsmouth and
at the U.S. Naval Station at Norfolk, Virginia.
Florida Tech students study real-life applications of business subjects under the expert
instruction and dedication of faculty who are leaders in the local business and education
community, as part of the university’s tradition of excellence.
The main Florida Tech site is located in the Fort Eustis Education Building 1500 (at
the corner of Lee Boulevard and Madison Avenue). Fort Eustis is situated in the historical
triangle between Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown.
A second site is maintained on the world’s largest naval installation at Norfolk Naval
Station, in Building CEP 87, on First Street at Gate 5.
The site director of Hampton Roads is a full-time faculty member and serves as graduate
adviser for Hampton Roads students. A resident director manages administrative
functions at the Fort Eustis and Norfolk sites.
