Objective
The Master of Science degree program in Science offers interdisciplinary
training in the major areas of biology, chemistry, physics, and general
science, with provisions for greater in-depth preparation in one of
these disciplines. The program offers both classroom and laboratory
experience and is specifically designed to develop and extend the skill
and competency of teachers of science in the secondary school.
Admission
to Program
For unconditional admission, applicants must have earned a minimum undergraduate
academic average of 3.0 in their major area of study and not less than
3.0 average overall, and the equivalent of an undergraduate major in
biology, chemistry, physics, or comprehensive science. The pattern of
courses must include at least eight credit hours in biology, eight in
chemistry, six in mathematics (including college algebra and trigonometry)
and eight in physics. Applicants who have completed courses which are
substantially equivalent to the minimum stated above may qualify for
admission, based upon the above pattern of courses.
For conditional admission,
applicants must have earned a minimum undergraduate academic average
of 2.5 in their major area of study, and not less than a 2.5 average
overall. Undergraduate course requirements remain same as above.
General
Requirements for Degree
All candidates for the
degree must complete a minimum of 33 credit hours, and elect a major
area of study in biology, chemistry, physics or general science. All
candidates must pass a written departmental comprehensive examination.
Program
