RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS FOR OPTION I Thirty (30) Credits
One of the requisites for fulfilling the requirements for Option I of the
Master's degree at California State College is the preparation of a
research project or thesis. The research project and the thesis may be
distinquished in the following manner:
The research project should make a contribution to the graduate
student; it should make him a more understanding and competent
teacher . The project may pertain to the teacher 's own classroom
situation or to some other type of limited research . The project needs the
approval only of the adviser, but the adviser may request the meeting of a
special committee who would also review and evaluate the proposed
study. Two (2) credit hours are given for the research project.
The thesis should make a contribution to the student and to his field ; it
treats a problem to a deeper degree. Better controls, wider sampling , and
further basic research techniques must be employed for a thesis . Before
a research proposal can be accepted for a thesis , it must be approved by
a committee of three graduate faculty members - the candidate 's
adviser, a faculty member of the candidate 's department, and a member
of another department. Four to six (4-6) credit hours are given for a
thesis .
The research project and thesis may differ in the nature of research
and in details, but they should follow the same format and regulations as
prescribed in the bulletin, Preparation of Theses and Research Pro;ects,
which is available in the Graduate Office.
A research paper (1 credit) is another research option available in
some departments.
A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses , and Dissertations by
Kate L. Turabian is the adopted style sheet for the graduate program at
California State College except as special requirements of individual
departments demand the use of another style sheet.
Any letters or questionnaires concerning the proposed research
project or thesis which are sent for the purpose of seeking information
and data from off-campus sources must be approved by the adviser and
by the Graduate Office.
STEPS IN SATISFYING THE RESEARCH REQUIREMENT
1. Admission to Candidacy for the Master's degree.
2. Selection of an adviser.
3. Completion of the course, "Methods of Research."
4. Overview for the proposed research project or thesis .
5. Rough draft of the research project or thesis .

The Graduate Programs
INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Division of California State College offers three
advanced degrees: Master of Education (M.Ed .), Master of Arts (M .A.),
and Master of Science (M.S.)
The Master of Education program is intended primarily for qualified
in-service teachers and other applicants who meet the standards of
graduate study which were established by the Graduate Council. The
following Master of Education Programs are offered : Administration
(Elementary Principal and Secondary Principal), Biology, Chemistry,
Counselor Education (Elementary and Secondary Guidance), Early
Childhood Education , Elementary Education, English, Geography,
Industrial Arts Education, Mathematics, Mentally and/or Physically
Handicapped , Reading Specialist, Social Science, and Speech and
Hearing.
The areas of specialization for the Master of Arts Program are
Communication, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, and
Political Science.
The areas of specialization for the Master of Science Program are
Biology, Earth Science, and School Psychology.
The Master of Arts and the Master of Science degrees are offered for
applicants who have a major or adequate background preparation in
the area in which they wish to matriculate. The students have an
opportunity to study in depth in their areas of specialization and become
more proficient in their discipline.
In those graduate programs that lead to initial certification , individual
departments will determine the competency of the student for
certification . It should be noted that receiving a Master's degree is not
synonymous with initial certification. The areas for which certification is
given on the graduate level at California State College are :
Administration (Elementary Principal and Secondary Principal) ,
Counselor Education (Elementary Guidance and Secondary Guidance) ,
Mentally and/or Physically Handicapped, Reading and School
Psychology.
Graduate work at California is especially designed to include
classroom , laboratory, clin ical , and research experience that will add
breadth and depth to the educational background of the students. The
program for each · person admitted to the graduate division will be
planned in cooperation with the adviser and will be based upon the
previous training and experience of the student.
A minimum of thirty (30) or thirty-six (36) semester hours is required
of all degree students, depending on the option chosen by the student.
The curriculum pattern differs for the various areas of specialization.
Since standards of proficiency described elsewhere must be met, it
should be understood that the requi rements listed in the preceding
paragraph constitute a minimum requirement and do not guarantee
graduation.
33
The graduate program is not merely an extension of work at the
undergraduate level. More vigorous standards are applied and a degree
of independence in the pursuit of knowledge and special competencies
is required . Special emphasis is placed on the cultivation of scholarly
attitudes and methods of research.
ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM FOR PRINCIPALS
The Administration Program for Principals at California State College
provides graduate students with an opportunity to obtain a Master's
degree in elementary or secondary school administration and/or
certification as an elementary or secondary school principal. The
program is competency-based and utilizes a variety of instructional
modes. Previous professional experience and academic background are
assessed to prescribe the program of studies and field experiences.
The principal trainee will develop cognitive and affective
competencies in the following generic areas:

BIOLOGY
MASTER OF EDUCATION
The Master of Education degree is a professional one designed
primarily to improve biology in the public schools. In-service biology
educators are encouraged to become more effective in their chosen
profession by taking coursework and/or experiences in the graduate
program of the Department of Biological Sciences and in several other
departments of the Graduate School. This program offers a broad variety
of academic, pedagogical, and research opportunities for the biology
teacher.
The graduate student, in close consultation with the department
graduate committee, and adviser, selects academic courses he feels will
best broaden his scope of understanding in biology. Certain other
courses are aimed at updating curriculum and instruction
methodologies and are part of all students' programs . Research
opportunities are provided to all individuals, either in an academic or
practical educational area.
35
The Department of Biological Sciences of California State College is
housed in the Frich Biology Building , an ultra-modern, multi-million
dollar teaching and research facility equipped with the latest in design ,
materials and instrumentation. Specialized areas for student and faculty
research , a herbarium , a museum, live aniamal colon ies, a greenhouse,
electron microscope and a radiation laboratory all complement this fine
classroom-laboratory structure.
The student's record is reviewed by a departmental committee, who
may require additional courses in biology or related fields to remedy
deficiencies. After taking 9 to 12 credits with a 3.0 minimum Quality Point
Average a comprehensive candidacy examination covering general
biology must be passed .
At least one course in Organ ic Chemistry is required for the Master of
Education program and deficiency must be remedied as undergraduate
credit before the candidacy exam ination is taken .
Ancillary graduate level courses up to 6 credits in fields closely related
to the major program may be substituted for biology courses upon
approval of the adviser and a majority vote of the department faculty .
Three options are available under the Master of Education .
Option A Thirty (30) credits , with thesis
Option B Thirty (30) credits, with research project
Option C Thirty-six (36) credits, with research-oriented courses
After twenty (20) credits are accumulated , a change in option requires
permission of the department faculty.

COUNSELOR EDUCATION
ELEMENTARY GUIDANCE
MASTER OF EDUCATION
The prospective graduate student in the Elementary Guidance
Program should meet all the general requirements for admission to the
Graduate School. Admission to the graduate school does not imply
admission to candidacy for the Master's degree . The student entering the
program must apply for candidacy for the Master's degree after
completing not less than six (6) hours nor more than twelve (12) hours
of graduate work at California State College. Within these twelve hours,
the student must have successfully completed ELG 701 - Organization
and Administration of Guidance in the Elementary School , ELG 702 Counseling Theory , and be enrolled in or completed ELG 711 Practicum I. Approval for admission to candidacy for the Master's degree
will be determined by a majority of the Guidance Faculty. A meeting with
the staff may be required .
The Elementary Guidance Program at California State College makes
a distinction between the completion of the Master's Degree in
43
Education and the approval for certification in Elementary Guidance. A
Master's Degree connotates the assimilation and understanding of the
didactic requirements of the Elementary Guidance Program .
Certification in Elementary Guidance is based on the ability to
demonstrate competence in counseling and consulting in the practicum
requirements of the guidance program . A student must maintain a
minimum grade of "B" in each practicum , satisfactorily complete parts A
and B of the comprehensive examination , and be recommended by a
majority of the Staff before certification will be considered . Therefore , it
is possible for a student in Elementary Guidance to obtain a Master's
Degree in education without obtaining certification in Elementary
Guidance.
The student majoring in Elementary Guidance has a choice of two
options in obtaining the Master's Degree. Option A requires a minimum
of thirty-two (32) hours of credit, with a research project or thesis
required . Option B is a minimum of thirty-six (36) credit hours with no
project or thesis required . The student is required to have an average of
"B " in all guidance courses to complete the requirements for graduation.

Studies, applicants who wish to be approved for admission to the
Secondary Guidance Program must submit the following information:

The Secondary Guidance program (36 credits) at California State
College will provide graduate students with an opportunity to ol;>tain a
Master's degree in education and/or certification as a secondary school
counselor. The program is competency-based and will utilize a variety of
instructional modes. The modes of instruction will consist primarily of
supervised field experiences , learning contracts , seminars and
workshops, independent study and learning activities.
The program is divided into five (5) generic competencies, which
center around the following areas: counseling, consulting , child growth
and development, research and evaluation , and career planning. Each
competency must be completed satisfactorily before the credits will be
awarded . The competencies may be completed through the various
modes of instruction as stated above. The main emphasis, however, is on

MASTER OF EDUCATION
A candidate to the program should have a certificate to teach English
or Communication , and have completed at least twelve (12) semester
hours in upper-division courses in Engl ish.
Upon satisfactory completion of six (6) hours of graduate work in the
English Department, the student may apply for Admission to Candidacy .

and research (see below) , no thesis or research project is required . The
Master of Education degree requires a minimum of thirty-six (36) hours
of credit.
The Master of Education program is very flexible ; it is important ,

Research Project or Thesis . For details concerning the options, the
23
applicant is requested to communicate with the appropriate departments
or with the Graduate Office.
RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS FOR OPTION I Thirty (30) Credits
One of the requisites for fulfilling the requirements for Option I of the
Master's degree at California State College is the preparation of a
research project or thesis. The research project and the thesis may be
distinquished in the following manner:
The research project should make a contribution to the graduate
student; it should make him a more understanding and competent
teacher . The project may pertain to the teacher 's own classroom
situation or to some other type of limited research . The project needs the
approval only of the adviser, but the adviser may request the meeting of a
special committee who would also review and evaluate the proposed
study. Two (2) credit hours are given for the research project.
The thesis should make a contribution to the student and to his field ; it
treats a problem to a deeper degree. Better controls, wider sampling , and
further basic research techniques must be employed for a thesis . Before
a research proposal can be accepted for a thesis , it must be approved by
a committee of three graduate faculty members - the candidate 's
adviser, a faculty member of the candidate 's department, and a member
of another department. Four to six (4-6) credit hours are given for a
thesis .
The research project and thesis may differ in the nature of research
and in details, but they should follow the same format and regulations as
prescribed in the bulletin, Preparation of Theses and Research Pro;ects,
which is available in the Graduate Office.
A research paper (1 credit) is another research option available in
some departments.
A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses , and Dissertations by
Kate L. Turabian is the adopted style sheet for the graduate program at
California State College except as special requirements of individual
departments demand the use of another style sheet.
Any letters or questionnaires concerning the proposed research
project or thesis which are sent for the purpose of seeking information
and data from off-campus sources must be approved by the adviser and
by the Graduate Office.
STEPS IN SATISFYING THE RESEARCH REQUIREMENT
1. Admission to Candidacy for the Master's degree.
2. Selection of an adviser.
3. Completion of the course, "Methods of Research."
4. Overview for the proposed research project or thesis .
5. Rough draft of the research project or thesis .
24
6. Fina l draft of the study.
7. Presentation of three copies of the final draft of the research study for
committee's evaluation .
8. Oral examination on the research study .
9. Preparation of an abstract of the study .
10. Binding of the final approved copies of the study.
(The detailed procedures and deadline dates for the completion of the
preceding steps are available in the Graduate Office .)
The Graduate Coun ci l reserves the right to modify the requirements
for graduate study without noti ce.
NOTICE OF ANTICIPATION FOR GRADUATION
It is the responsibility of the student to check with the Graduate Office

The Graduate Programs
INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Division of California State College offers three
advanced degrees: Master of Education (M.Ed .), Master of Arts (M .A.),
and Master of Science (M.S.)
The Master of Education program is intended primarily for qualified
in-service teachers and other applicants who meet the standards of
graduate study which were established by the Graduate Council. The
following Master of Education Programs are offered : Administration
(Elementary Principal and Secondary Principal), Biology, Chemistry,
Counselor Education (Elementary and Secondary Guidance), Early
Childhood Education , Elementary Education, English, Geography,
Industrial Arts Education, Mathematics, Mentally and/or Physically
Handicapped , Reading Specialist, Social Science, and Speech and
Hearing.
The areas of specialization for the Master of Arts Program are
Communication, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, and
Political Science.
The areas of specialization for the Master of Science Program are
Biology, Earth Science, and School Psychology.
The Master of Arts and the Master of Science degrees are offered for
applicants who have a major or adequate background preparation in
the area in which they wish to matriculate. The students have an
opportunity to study in depth in their areas of specialization and become
more proficient in their discipline.
In those graduate programs that lead to initial certification , individual
departments will determine the competency of the student for
certification . It should be noted that receiving a Master's degree is not
synonymous with initial certification. The areas for which certification is
given on the graduate level at California State College are :
Administration (Elementary Principal and Secondary Principal) ,
Counselor Education (Elementary Guidance and Secondary Guidance) ,
Mentally and/or Physically Handicapped, Reading and School
Psychology.
Graduate work at California is especially designed to include
classroom , laboratory, clin ical , and research experience that will add
breadth and depth to the educational background of the students. The
program for each · person admitted to the graduate division will be
planned in cooperation with the adviser and will be based upon the
previous training and experience of the student.
A minimum of thirty (30) or thirty-six (36) semester hours is required
of all degree students, depending on the option chosen by the student.
The curriculum pattern differs for the various areas of specialization.
Since standards of proficiency described elsewhere must be met, it
should be understood that the requi rements listed in the preceding
paragraph constitute a minimum requirement and do not guarantee
graduation.
33
The graduate program is not merely an extension of work at the
undergraduate level. More vigorous standards are applied and a degree
of independence in the pursuit of knowledge and special competencies
is required . Special emphasis is placed on the cultivation of scholarly
attitudes and methods of research.
ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM FOR PRINCIPALS
The Administration Program for Principals at California State College
provides graduate students with an opportunity to obtain a Master's
degree in elementary or secondary school administration and/or
certification as an elementary or secondary school principal. The
program is competency-based and utilizes a variety of instructional
modes. Previous professional experience and academic background are
assessed to prescribe the program of studies and field experiences.

MASTER OF EDUCATION
The Master of Education degree is a professional one designed
primarily to improve biology in the public schools. In-service biology
educators are encouraged to become more effective in their chosen
profession by taking coursework and/or experiences in the graduate
program of the Department of Biological Sciences and in several other
departments of the Graduate School. This program offers a broad variety
of academic, pedagogical, and research opportunities for the biology
teacher.
The graduate student, in close consultation with the department
graduate committee, and adviser, selects academic courses he feels will
best broaden his scope of understanding in biology. Certain other
courses are aimed at updating curriculum and instruction
methodologies and are part of all students' programs . Research
opportunities are provided to all individuals, either in an academic or
practical educational area.
35
The Department of Biological Sciences of California State College is
housed in the Frich Biology Building , an ultra-modern, multi-million
dollar teaching and research facility equipped with the latest in design ,
materials and instrumentation. Specialized areas for student and faculty
research , a herbarium , a museum, live aniamal colon ies, a greenhouse,
electron microscope and a radiation laboratory all complement this fine
classroom-laboratory structure.
The student's record is reviewed by a departmental committee, who
may require additional courses in biology or related fields to remedy
deficiencies. After taking 9 to 12 credits with a 3.0 minimum Quality Point
Average a comprehensive candidacy examination covering general
biology must be passed .
At least one course in Organ ic Chemistry is required for the Master of
Education program and deficiency must be remedied as undergraduate
credit before the candidacy exam ination is taken .
Ancillary graduate level courses up to 6 credits in fields closely related
to the major program may be substituted for biology courses upon
approval of the adviser and a majority vote of the department faculty .
Three options are available under the Master of Education .
Option A Thirty (30) credits , with thesis

COUNSELOR EDUCATION
ELEMENTARY GUIDANCE
MASTER OF EDUCATION
The prospective graduate student in the Elementary Guidance
Program should meet all the general requirements for admission to the
Graduate School. Admission to the graduate school does not imply
admission to candidacy for the Master's degree . The student entering the
program must apply for candidacy for the Master's degree after
completing not less than six (6) hours nor more than twelve (12) hours
of graduate work at California State College. Within these twelve hours,
the student must have successfully completed ELG 701 - Organization
and Administration of Guidance in the Elementary School , ELG 702 Counseling Theory , and be enrolled in or completed ELG 711 Practicum I. Approval for admission to candidacy for the Master's degree
will be determined by a majority of the Guidance Faculty. A meeting with
the staff may be required .
The Elementary Guidance Program at California State College makes
a distinction between the completion of the Master's Degree in
43
Education and the approval for certification in Elementary Guidance. A
Master's Degree connotates the assimilation and understanding of the
didactic requirements of the Elementary Guidance Program .
Certification in Elementary Guidance is based on the ability to
demonstrate competence in counseling and consulting in the practicum
requirements of the guidance program . A student must maintain a
minimum grade of "B" in each practicum , satisfactorily complete parts A
and B of the comprehensive examination , and be recommended by a
majority of the Staff before certification will be considered . Therefore , it
is possible for a student in Elementary Guidance to obtain a Master's
Degree in education without obtaining certification in Elementary
Guidance.
The student majoring in Elementary Guidance has a choice of two
options in obtaining the Master's Degree. Option A requires a minimum
of thirty-two (32) hours of credit, with a research project or thesis
required . Option B is a minimum of thirty-six (36) credit hours with no
project or thesis required . The student is required to have an average of
"B " in all guidance courses to complete the requirements for graduation.

SECONDARY GUIDANCE
MASTER OF EDUCATION
In addition to the general requirements for admission to Graduate
Studies, applicants who wish to be approved for admission to the
Secondary Guidance Program must submit the following information:
(A) Data Sheet , (B) Autob i ography and, (C) three letters of
recommendation . In addition to the above, the applicants for admission
to the Program will be required to be interviewed by the Counseling Staff.
The Secondary Guidance program (36 credits) at California State
College will provide graduate students with an opportunity to ol;>tain a
Master's degree in education and/or certification as a secondary school
counselor. The program is competency-based and will utilize a variety of
instructional modes. The modes of instruction will consist primarily of
supervised field experiences , learning contracts , seminars and
workshops, independent study and learning activities.
The program is divided into five (5) generic competencies, which
center around the following areas: counseling, consulting , child growth
and development, research and evaluation , and career planning. Each
competency must be completed satisfactorily before the credits will be
awarded . The competencies may be completed through the various
modes of instruction as stated above. The main emphasis, however, is on
the demonstration of the knowledge and performance of each enabling
competency.
Awarding the degree requires the recommendation of the majority of
the Guidance Faculty.

" Individual Assessment and Prescription Portfolio ." The staff and
student , at the end of the seminar , will then be able to write a
" prescription ," based on competencies not achieved which will then

MASTER OF EDUCATION
A candidate to the program should have a certificate to teach English
or Communication , and have completed at least twelve (12) semester
hours in upper-division courses in Engl ish.
Upon satisfactory completion of six (6) hours of graduate work in the
English Department, the student may apply for Admission to Candidacy .
The Comprehensive Examination for the Master of Education will be
based on the individual 's course work and will concern particular
problems of teaching language and literature.
Apart from the sequence of two (2) required courses in methodology
and research (see below) , no thesis or research project is required . The
Master of Education degree requires a minimum of thirty-six (36) hours
of credit.
The Master of Education program is very flexible ; it is important ,
therefore , that a student's course selection be coherent. Consequently ,
he should , with an adviser , draw up a proposed course of study in the
beginning of his graduate work and adhere to it as closely as possible.
