Students must pass a comprehensive examination in order to qualify for the master's degree in Spanish. This examination is based on a knowledge of the civilization and literature of Spain or Latin America, and basic concepts of linguistic theory and analysis.

Since this examination will be given toward the end of the course work, it is expected that the student will have developed an ability to analyze literature, culture, and linguistics at a very high level, and understand the forces that affected civilization. It is also expected that the responses, both written and oral, will show an excellent command of the Spanish language.

The department will allow the student to choose a reading list made up of either the major Peninsular or Latin American works with which the student must be very familiar. The comprehensive exam will be based on the reading list which the student chooses and the courses which the student has taken. The exam will be a two-part, written exam in Spanish consisting of a two-hour exam based on the reading list and a two-hour exam based on the courses which the student has taken. Both these exams will be given on the same day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. A third exam, which will be a one-hour oral exam, will be given by a committee of three faculty members. This exam will allow the student to expand more readily on particular points of culture, literature, and linguistics, and also to show capability in the use of the spoken language.

Master of Arts in TESOL

Admission
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required of all graduate students. Minimal requirements for admission are (1) a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 for the last 60 attempted semester hours of undergraduate study and a minimum score of at least 840 on the GRE or (2) a GPA of less than 3.0 combined with a GRE of 1000 or above. International students must score at least 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). In addition, the department requires three letters of recommendation and a written statement of past experience, area of interest, and immediate and long-range goals.

Degree Requirements
Degree-seeking students in the TESOL program may elect to follow either a thesis (TSL 6971; 30 semester hours) or a non-thesis (36 semester hours) course of study. The thesis requirement is appropriate for those wishing to pursue a doctoral program in TESOL or for those wishing to research current issues in the discipline. The thesis requirement may be replaced by 9 semester hours of approved course work so that the non-thesis option requires a total of 36 hours.

All students must take a comprehensive written examination covering the core TSL courses. This examination is normally taken in the second year of graduate work and will be reviewed by members of the TESOL Graduate Committee in their areas of expertise.

Core Courses
The seven core courses provide a strong foundation in the content of the discipline. The electives provide for three distinct areas of interest: linguistics, multicultural education, and research. Students may opt to take their elective credit in one of these areas depending on their interests. A strong research base is available for those students wishing to pursue the thesis option and advanced graduate degrees.

Master of Arts in History

Applicants who meet all of the above requirements but do not have an undergraduate degree in history must complete 12 hours of history course work at the 3000 and 4000 level, with a GPA in these courses of at least 3.25 before entering the graduate program. These courses will not count toward the graduate degree. The History Department Graduate Committee can waive this requirement, in whole or in part, when applicants present evidence that they are capable of successfully completing graduate history courses, either by submitting a portfolio documenting relevant past work or volunteer experience or by providing a sample of their own written work, which indicates that they have the research and writing skills needed to do graduate-level work in history.

If, in addition, applicants do not meet one of the other requirements for entry, such as a GPA of 3.0 for the last 60 semester hours of attempted undergraduate course work or a score of 1000 on the combined verbal-quantitative sections of the GRE and a score of 500 on the verbal portion of the GRE, they must complete 12 hours of course work at the 3000 and 4000 level with a GPA of 3.5 before they can be admitted to the graduate program.

Applicants who hold an undergraduate degree in history but do not have a GPA of 3.0 in the last 60 attempted semester hours or do not score 1000 or more on the combined verbal-quantitative sections of the GRE with a score of 500 in the verbal portion may take up to 9 hours of graduate courses as post-baccalaureate students. To be admitted into the graduate program, however, they must earn a GPA of 3.3 or better in the history courses they have taken under this status.

Mathematics Department

The Department of Mathematics offers a Master of Science degree in Mathematical Science and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Mathematics. Both degrees are intended to provide a broad base in applied and industrial mathematics. Research interests of the faculty include applied analysis, differential equations, methods of mathematical physics, probability and mathematical statistics, functional analysis, numerical analysis, approximation theory, nonlinear dynamics, fluid mechanics, wave propagation, algebra, number theory, and combinatorics and graph theory.

Admission
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required of all graduate students. Admission requirements are the standard university criteria of either: (1) at least the equivalent of a 3.0 (out of 4.0) grade point average (GPA) for the last 60 attempted semester hours of credit earned toward the baccalaureate; or, (2) a GRE score of at least 1000 for the combined verbal-quantitative sections of the General (Aptitude) Test; or (3) a prior graduate degree from an accredited institution. GRE results must be less than five years old. Transfer of credits from other programs will be considered on a course-by-course basis.

Additionally, students entering the graduate program with regular status are assumed to have a working knowledge of undergraduate calculus, differential equations, linear algebra (or matrix theory), boundary value problems, statistics, computer programming, and maturity in the language of advanced calculus (at the level of MAA 4226). Those students who find they are not adequately prepared in one or more of these areas can select appropriate courses from the undergraduate curriculum to make up such deficiencies. Such courses, unless specially approved, will not count toward the graduate degree. Applicants not qualified for regular status may be admitted initially to the university in a post-baccalaureate status, although only nine hours in this status can be transferred into a graduate program. Students whose native language is not English will be required to obtain a minimum score of 550 in TOEFL.

Admission to Ph.D. Program
Admission to the Ph.D. Program in Mathematics is formalized by the university upon the recommendation of the Department of Mathematics. To be eligible to take the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination, the student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (out of 4.0) in all work beyond baccalaureate.

Master of Science in Mathematical Science

Electives should be chosen in consultation with the student's advisory committee and may be chosen from the suggested options: Discrete Mathematics, General Applied Mathematics, Image Processing and Computer Graphics, Mathematical Optics, Mathematical Physics, Pure Mathematics, Rational Mechanics, Signal Analysis, and Statistics. A list of courses for these elective options can be obtained from the Graduate Coordinator.

Courses taken outside the department are to be in a single area of application of mathematics that is related to the student's doctoral work. These courses are to be selected in consultation with the student's advisory committee. Students are encouraged to include in their plan of study a maximum of 12 semester hours of course work outside the department. Students can take up to 6 semester hours of approved 4000-level mathematics courses. In addition to the 75 semester hours of the program, a minimum of 6 hours of an approved foreign language and a minimum of 3 hours of an approved computer language are required. The language and computer courses may have been taken at any point in the student's post-secondary career.

In accordance with university requirements, a prospective doctoral student has to successfully pass the following examinations:

• Qualifying Examination
• Candidacy Examination
• Dissertation Defense

The qualifying examination is a written examination that will be administered twice a year. Students normally start taking this exam at the end of the first year and are expected to have completed the exams by the end of the second year unless a written request for a postponement has been approved by the Graduate Committee at least two months prior to the examination date.

After passing the qualifying exam, the student must select a dissertation advisor. Finding a dissertation advisor is the responsibility of the student and should be done as soon as possible. In consultation with the dissertation advisor, the student should form an advisory committee. The dissertation advisor will be the chair of the student's advisory committee. This committee will approve a plan of study for the doctoral student and will recommend which courses outside the department should be taken.

Candidacy Examination
The candidacy examination will be administered by the student's committee and will be tailored to the student's individual program. It can be attempted anytime after passing the qualifying examination, and after the student has begun research but prior to the end of the third year following the qualifying examination. The candidacy examination can be taken at most twice.

Dissertation Defense
Upon completion of a student's research, the student's committee will schedule an oral defense of the dissertation. The student has seven years from the date of admission to the doctoral program to complete the dissertation.

Music Department

Music Education

The M.A.T. program is for people who have a Bachelor of Arts and wish to attain certification to teach music in the Florida public schools along with a master's degree. People entering this program without a B.A. in music will be expected to complete undergraduate requirements for a music major in addition to the requirements for the master's degree. Undergraduate courses in music education may also be required as corequisites for all students who are missing key courses necessary to meet a standard of excellence as a music educator.

The M.Ed. program is for people who are already certified teachers and wish to develop advanced skills and understandings in the field of music education. All students take a range of courses in education, music, and music education. A written examination and an action research study are required at the completion of the degree.

Physics Department

Admission
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required of all applicants. Minimum requirements in order to be considered for admission to the graduate program in Physics are the standard university criteria of a 3.0 (A=4) grade point average (GPA) for the last 60 attempted semester hours of credit earned toward the baccalaureate, or a GRE score of at least 1000 on the combined verbal-quantitative sections of the General (Aptitude) Test. The GRE subject test in physics is required for admission to the doctoral program. All admissions to graduate status are competitive and based on availability of faculty for sponsoring research. Students entering the graduate program with regular status are normally expected to have completed course work generally required for a bachelor's degree in physics, including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. The admission deadline for the fall semester of each academic year is usually February 15 of the preceding spring, although exceptions may be granted.

Master of Science in Physics

The Master of Science in Physics degree requires a total of 33 semester hours. The student has the option of choosing either a general physics track or a track in optical physics. In either track, there are a thesis and a non-thesis option for the master's degree. All master's students must take 18 semester hours of core courses, identical to the Ph.D. core courses for either track. The thesis option requires 9 additional semester hours of electives, plus 6 semester hours of thesis. The non-thesis option instead requires 15 semester hours of electives and a written comprehensive exit examination. All electives must be approved by the student's advisory committee. Courses titled "for teachers" do not satisfy elective requirements for the Master of Science in Physics.

Core Courses - 18 Semester Hours All students are required to take: PHY 5606 Quantum Mechanics I PHY 5346 Electrodynamics I PHY 6347 Electrodynamics II The remaining core courses depend on which track the student chooses: General Physics Optical Physics PHY 5524 Statistical Physics EEL 5441 Introduction to Wave Optics PHY 6246 Classical Mechanics PHY 5446 Laser Principles PHY 6624 Quantum Mechanics II PHY 6447 Quantum Optics Electives 9 to 15 Semester Hours Thesis 6 Semester Hours

The Master of Science in Physics candidate who has chosen the thesis option is required to conduct a program of original scientific research or some investigation involving a creative element and to submit a written thesis detailing these investigations. An oral defense and examination of the thesis is required.

Doctor of Philosophy in Physics

Continuation in doctoral status is contingent upon passing a qualifying examination consisting of both written and oral portions that cover all material included in the core courses and undergraduate preparation in physics. The written examination is divided into two sections appropriate to each of the above tracks, and also covers statistical mechanics and classical mechanics at the advanced undergraduate level. Students are required to take the qualifying exam after three semesters (excluding summers). A second and final opportunity must follow at the next available exam. A student failing at the second attempt may continue toward a master's degree.

Candidacy Examination and Dissertation Proposal
The student writes a proposal of the research planned for the dissertation and then is orally examined on it and the general research area by the dissertation committee. This examination can be attempted anytime after passing the qualifying examination, and after the student has begun research. Typically it should be taken a semester or two after the qualifying examination. After passing the candidacy examination, the student can register for official dissertation hours (PHY 7980). Before passing the candidacy, research credit can be earned as PHY 6918.

Dissertation Defense
The final oral defense of the dissertation is administered by the student's dissertation committee following completion of a written dissertation describing the student's research.

Political Science Department

Master of Arts in Political Science

Admission
In addition to the minimum requirements for admission to UCF, any student wishing to enroll in graduate courses in political science must meet the department's requirements for graduate status (either regular or conditional graduate status) or must hold regular graduate status in another program at UCF.

Requirements for regular status are:

• At least 12 semester hours of undergraduate course work in political science, including Scope and Methods of Political Science (POS 3703) or its equivalent. Students must have a grade of "B" or better in this course work.
  AND

• For persons otherwise not qualified for regular graduate status, completion of three graduate courses, with grades of "B" or better.
• Completion of any other requirements determined by the Graduate Committee and stated on the student's Program of Graduate Study form.

After being admitted (either as regular or conditional), students must meet with one of the graduate advisors to discuss their plans for graduate study and to obtain permission to enroll in graduate courses in the department. After completing nine hours of course work, all students must determine a preliminary program of study, either in the political analysis track or the public policy track. Both tracks require 30 semester hours of credit (24 hours of course work plus 6 hours of thesis), and both share the same core requirements.

Core Requirements 12 Semester Hours POS 6746 Quantitative Methods in Political Research 3 hours POS 6045 Seminar in American Politics 3 hours POT 6007 Seminar in Political Theory AND 3 hours INR 6007 Seminar in International Politics OR CPO 6091 Seminar in Comparative Politics 3 hours

Political Analysis Track

Public Policy Track

The political science seminars provide the common core of knowledge for students in both tracks. The specific subject matter of the topics courses will vary, depending on the specialization of the instructor or the interests of the students in each track. Upon approval of the Graduate Committee, topics courses may be repeated for credit.

Ordinarily, elective credits will be taken within political science. Students wishing to earn elective credits from another department must obtain the approval from the Graduate Committee.

After completion of the 24 hours of course work in the chosen track, the student will form a committee of three advisors and submit a written thesis prospectus which, upon acceptance by the committee, will become a part of the student's permanent file. Guidelines for the prospectus are available from the Program Coordinator. The completed thesis must be submitted to the thesis committee at least eight weeks prior to the date on which the degree is to be awarded. The student will then orally defend the thesis.

Examination
All candidates for a master's degree must take a comprehensive written examination. The examination will usually be administered after satisfactory completion of 24 hours. The examination will be based on the political science course work contained in the student's program of study. In addition, all students will be tested in the area of quantitative methods. The examination will be offered two times each academic year, during the final examination period for the fall and spring semesters. Students must inform the Program Coordinator of their intention to take the examination at least six weeks prior to its scheduled date. A committee, consisting of all political science faculty from whom the student has taken courses, will develop questions for the comprehensive examination. Students not passing the examination may take it a second time within one calendar year, but no student will be allowed to take the examination more than twice.

The Master of Science degree program in Clinical Psychology is concerned with the application of psychological principles to individuals. Major areas of emphasis include assessment or evaluation skills, intervention or counseling and psychotherapy skills, plus an academic foundation in research methods. The program was initiated for the purpose of providing training and preparation at the master's level for individuals desiring to deliver clinical services through community agencies. Graduates have been involved in mental health rehabilitation through individual, marital, family, and group psychotherapy, as well as crisis intervention and specialized therapeutic procedures. Graduates have met the education criteria for licensure as mental health counselors in Florida. Course work includes experiential clinical labs in which some degree of personal self-disclosure is expected in order to fulfill the goals of the training program. Admissions into the clinical master's program is highly competitive with all information that might be available to the committee (e.g., GRE scores, GPA, letters of reference, personal statement, clinical experience, research experience, interview performance) considered in admissions decisions. Many applicants who meet minimum university requirements may not be admitted to the program.

Degree Requirements
The M.S. degree program in Clinical Psychology is a two-year, four-semester program for full-time students with no summer course work. The program consists of a minimum of 54 semester hours of work as follows:

The purpose of the internship requirement is to provide the M.S. candidate in Clinical Psychology with a comprehensive, practical-based experience under direct supervision. A public agency or nonprofit institution offering services to individuals, with nondiscriminatory practices (including ability to assume financial responsibilities) is the prototype. The intern is assigned to an acceptable agency for two consecutive academic semesters (20 hours per semester). An additional commitment of two hours per week is required for the group of interns to meet with a departmental faculty member for review, feedback, and discussions. The intern participates in a wide variety of psychological assessment procedures, including intellectual, personality, educational, neuropsychological, and differential diagnosis. A major portion of the training is in the area of psychotherapy/counseling.

Given the community-based structure of the agency, it is desirable for the intern to have some exposure to the consultation role. It is believed that supervision by qualified and experienced personnel is the primary learning mode by which the intern develops professional expertise and augments the classroom material previously acquired.

Facilities are provided by the intern or agency for audio and/or video tape recording of s
