These members of the faculty of the University of North Florida (*) are also members of the graduate faculty of the University of Florida and participate in the specialist and doctoral programs of the University of Florida, Department of Instruction and Curriculum. The Department offers programs leading to the Master of Education (nonthesis) and Master of Arts in Education (thesis) in art education, curriculum and instruction (with emphasis in educational media and instructional design or middle school education), early childhood education, elementary education, English education, foreign lan- guage education (with emphasis in foreign language or bilingual education), mathematics education, reading education, science education, and social studies educa- tion. Proteach prepares secondary teachers who have completed the bachelor's degree in the discipline they will teach and elementary teachers who have completed the Department's undergraduate elementary education program. The standard master's is designed for teachers who are already certified. * The Department also offers the Specialist in Education, Doctor of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in curriculum, and instruction with specializations in the aforementioned areas plus business education, instruc- tional computing, and physical education. Beyond the Graduate' School and College of Education admission requirements, students should have previous preparation appropriate to the program being pursued. Students having deficiencies in their previous preparation will be required to follow a program to remove such deficiencies. In addition to the graduate courses in Instruction and Curriculum described in this section the following courses in related areas are acceptable for graduate credit as part of the student's major: EDF 5232-Principles of Learning and Instructional Practice; EDF 6113-Educational Psy- chology: Human Development; EDF 6175-Educational Psychology: Adulthood; EDF 6215-Educational Psychol- ogy: Learning Theory; EDF 6436-Theory of Measure- ment; EDF 6487-Assessment of Classroom Behavior; EDF 6520-History of Education; EDF 6544-PhiloSophical Foundations of Education; EDF 6630-Sociology of Edu- cation; EDF 6712-Comparative Education; EDG 6250-The School Curriculum; EDG 7222-Curriculum Theory and Research. Students may not enroll for more than one special" topics course within the same semester. Through a cooperative arrangement between the Uni- versity of Florida and the University of North Florida, qualified persons with a master's degree may earn the Specialist in Education or Doctor of Education from the University of Florida.
