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 Teaching of the Physical Sciences is available t o 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.

This is a specimen curriculum and( may be varied with the advice of the adviser. However, all of the courses listed in the curriculum must be taken at some point in the student's schedule. ' A student who has completed two years of foreign language in high school may register in second-year University classes in that language. 'The social studies requirement is 20 hours in history and 21 hours in social studies fields other than history. In history, students are required to complete one elementary course, both semesters, selected from the following list: History ia-ib—Continental European History; History za-zb— History of England; History sa-sb—The Ancient World; D.G.S. 2a-2b—History of Civilization. History 3a may be taken to complete the History 3a-3b sequence. Students are also required to complete 12-14 hours in advanced courses in history. In these, at least six hours must be offered in American history and at least six hours in European history (Ancient, Medieval, English, or Modern). In the social studies fields other than history, the 21 hours of work should include at least one course in each of the following: economics, political science, and sociology. At least eight hours should be taken in each of two social studies fields: economics, political science, sociology, geography.
