A minimum of 15 semester hours of approved courses at the 4000 level or above in science must be completed for the degree. The degree plan may include 3 semester hours of approved courses or seminars at the 4000 level or higher in secondary school mathematics teaching, history of mathematics or science, or philosophy of mathematics or science. All candidates for the M.B.S. choosing the Applied Science Option must select a faculty advisor and two other faculty members to serve with the advisor as the candidate's Project or Thesis Committee. The names of the three individuals must be submitted to the M.B.S. Executive Committee no later than two semesters following full admission to the program. The candidate must select two other faculty members to serve with the major advisor as the candidate's Graduate Committee.
Teachers usually find the non-thesis option to their liking.
Candidates must report their choice of the project or thesis option to the M.B.S. Executive Committee by the end of their second semester. The project option requires that the candidate complete a paper describing an approved research project that shows the candidate's ability to apply principles of applied science.
