NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER, LAKEHURST, NEW JERSEY
Florida Tech’s site in Ocean County, New Jersey (located at the Naval Air Warfare Center,
Lakehurst, New Jersey), provides graduate students there and in the surrounding area opportunities
for continuing their education to maintain their professional and technical competence,
and to enhance their career development and progression. Florida Tech programs are
available to all who meet admission requirements of the university. Classes are held on base
and meet one night per week for three hours beginning at 5 p.m.
The site in Ocean County offers several support resources not usually available in off-campustype
programs. This includes a 6,500 volume, 150 periodical library, which has an active
program of interlibrary loans with other libraries throughout the country via the Online
Computer Library Center (OCLC). This system allows Florida Tech students quick access
to the holdings of local libraries as well as colleges and universities offering graduate degrees
in other parts of the country. Each semester, the librarian places selected books on reserve
on special shelves in support of Florida Tech courses offered that semester. Students also
have access to microcomputer systems in the site director’s office. Classrooms are equipped
with closed circuit TV in addition to conventional audiovisual equipment. Also, all off-campus
sites, in particular Lakehurst, are equipped with state-of-the-art telecommunications
and data-processing equipment, which allow for speedy registration, more accurate records
keeping, and state-of-the-art communications between professor and student via computer
bulletin boards and other data-processing peripherals.
Several of the available programs and courses are particularly applicable to Department of
Defense military and civilian personnel working at Lakehurst, Fort Monmouth and Fort Dix,
New Jersey, and at DISC–ICP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For example, the Lakehurst site
offers a Master of Science in Acquisition and Contract Management for the career-oriented
acquisition specialist.
