REDSTONE
Since 1976, Redstone has provided for continuing education of personnel in the
greater Huntsville area to maintain their professional and technical competence, and
for their development and career progression. The site offers both graduate degree
and professional development programs. Live classes are offered evenings to allow
working professionals an opportunity to earn a graduate degree or certificate without
career interruption. Distance-learning courses are offered via the Internet for those
who cannot attend live classes.
While the programs are open to all who meet the admission requirements of the
university, traditionally the Redstone site has served government agencies and many
national and local firms with facilities in the Huntsville area. The major governmental
agencies include:
• United States Army Aviation and Missile Command
• United States Army Space and Strategic Defense Command
• United States Army Strategic Defense Advanced Technology Center
• United States Army Engineer Division, Huntsville, Alabama
• United States Army Redstone Readiness Group
• United States Army Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School
• Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA
LOGISTICS SUPPORT ACTIVITY
Because of the moderate size of the student body, class size is relatively small. Students
at Florida Tech are treated as individuals, not merely numbers. Each incoming student
is assigned a graduate adviser to assist the student in formulating a graduate program
plan to meet the individual needs of each student.
Each graduate degree program may be completed in two years or less. However, you
may work to complete your degree program at your own pace. The majority of students
usually enrolls for one course per semester, but enroll for two or more courses when
their schedules permit.
Instructors at the site are working professionals with hands-on experience in the discipline
in which they teach. Over 90 percent of the instructors in the graduate program
have a terminal degree (Ph.D. or equivalent).
The site is conveniently located in Building 5304 (Sparkman Center) on Redstone
Arsenal. Salient features of the program include:
• Degree programs range from 30 to 36 hours depending on the chosen program.
• Optional concentrations in the PMBA program include acquisition and contract
management, eBusiness, human resources management and information systems.
• Optional concentrations in the M.S. management program include acquisition and
contract management, eBusiness, human resources management, information systems
and logistics.
• Optional concentrations in the M.S. project management and M.S. systems management
programs include information systems and operations research.
• Limited class size.
