Message From the Director

Tim WhiteIt is with great pride that I welcome you to Florida Tech at Redstone Arsenal. Our off-campus location has been offering graduate coursework to both civilian and military personnel in the Redstone area since 1976.

The majority of the students at Florida Tech Redstone are people who work at Redstone Arsenal proper, or for Redstone's contractors nearby. Of those students a majority are civilians. Most of our students are active or retired military; or military reserve personnel. About one quarter of Redstone students are DOD civilians and some attend our site from the Huntsville community and are not directly affiliated with either the defense or aerospace communities.

This is why I am so proud to be a part of this university and a resident of the Huntsville community.

For over 30 years, Florida Tech has had a continuous presence on Redstone Arsenal.  During that time, Florida Tech Redstone has graduated over 2,500 students in over 25 disciplines.

Florida Tech Redstone has a staff of 17 adjunct professors and five administrative staff to serve our students. The faculty work full-time in their respective disciplines and provide  a "real world" teaching methodology in their evening classes enabling the students to acquire and use those tools, practices, and techniques needed for professional success , career development and organizational growth.

At a recent alumni event I met one of our graduates and he made the point of expressing his sincerest appreciation to Florida Tech for having the off campus site at Redstone Arsenal. This gentleman - an engineer with the U.S. Army - went on to say that Florida Tech is a valuable resource to northern Alabama and the south-central Tennessee area; and that his career success over the past few years is a direct result of the education he received from Florida Tech. This is why I'm proud... not of myself but of the success of our students!

On behalf of our faculty, staff and administrators we welcome you to Redstone Arsenal. Our doors are always open.

Cheers,
Timothy J. White, D.P.A.
