Classes are offered evenings and weekends to allow working professionals an opportunity to maintain professional and technical competence while earning a graduate degree or certificate without career interruption. Distance learning courses are offered 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
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 advisor 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 at the site usually enroll for one course per semester, but some enroll for two or more courses when their schedules permit.
The instructors at the site are working professionals with hands-on experience in the discipline in which they teach. All of the instructors have a terminal degree.
The site is conveniently located in Building 5304 on Redstone Arsenal. Programs are open to all in the Huntsville area who met admission requirements of the university.
