Description¶

At the master's level, the department pairs education study with disciplinary specialization. As printed: "A candidate for the master's degree is advised to devote about one-half of his time to the subject of education and the other half to some other subject in which he wishes to specialize." As a rule the thesis deals with the special subject, but the candidate is required to discuss it in the light of educational principles, extending the integration pattern of the undergraduate program.
