FSU academics to aid Navy maritime

Sally McRorie, provost and senior VP for academic affairs at Florida State University, told the Florida Board of Governor’s strategic planning committee that FSU plans to expand its academic programs to 100 majors by 2018. FSU is also seeking approval for new academic offerings in January, including a master’s degree in systems engineering that hass largely driven by requests from Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City, Fla. The program is expected to start at FSU-Panama City with 40 students. The program is expected to stimulate economic development in the Florida Panhandle, and support the advanced work at NSWC, especially in the areas of cyber security and maritime systems.
