Student Responsibility

It is the student's responsibility to satisfy the requirements for graduation in his/her

2.02

Degrees
The Master of Education degree was

established in 1960.

Its

programs are planned

for teachers in service.

The first Master of Arts program (history) was established in 1968 and the first
Master of Science program (biology) in 1971.
A program to lead to the professional degree Master of Business Administration
(MBA) was approved to be instituted in 1976.
The purpose of programs for the professional degree. Master of Education, is to
enhance the competence of teachers. The purpose of a Master of Arts program is to
advance the student's scholarship in an academic discipline, and that of a Master of
Science program is to develop mature scholarship and competence related primarily to

Courses of the Program: Enrollment in the program is limited; therefore, admisis selective. The applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited
college or university. While no undergraduate major is prescribed, a minimum body of 30 credits in
background courses in basic business subjects is required as outlined herein. The overall quality point
average must have been 2.50 or higher; or if based on only the last two years of undergraduate work,
