The courses outlined above total 132 to 134 hours. A minimum of 125 Hours of credit, not counting the first two years of work in military science and physical education, is required for graduation. Notes.—Geology 20 (General Mineralogy) is strongly recommended. If the student has not had adequate high-school training in mathematics, he may be required to take Mathematics I or other elementary mathematics. If the student has had no foreign language in high school or if he does not continue in the University the same language which he began in high school, it will be necessary for him to take two years of foreign language rather than the one year specified above. Fifth Year For the Degree of Master of Science in the Teaching of Chemistry Eight units of work are required including four in chemistry, two in education, and two in electives. Courses must be selected with the consent of the adviser, who will see that the candidate strengthens areas in which he is weakest. N o thesis is required. UNITS Chemistry 4 Ed. 125—Advanced Educational Psychology 1 Ed. 101—Philosophy of Education; or Ed. 30—History of American Education I Electives _£ Total 8 For the Degree of Master of Science in the Teaching of the Physical Sciences A special program leading to the degree of Master of Science in the Physical Sciences is available to meet the needs of students who wish to study in both chemistry and physics rather than to specialize in one department. It is designed primarily for those preparing to teach the physical sciences in high school. Students working toward a degree under the provisions of this program are expected to seek approximately equal proficiency in both physics and chemistry; those whose undergraduate work has emphasized chemistry should balance this by weighting the graduate work in favor of physics, and vice versa. No thesis is required, and all courses in physics and chemistry which normally give graduate credit will carry credit toward the degree. T o qualify for the degree, a student must have had, or must include in his program, at least one course in mathematics beyond the calculus, and for which the calculus is prerequisite.
