MASTER OF ARTS IN TEACHING AND MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TEACHING These degrees are designed for graduate students who intend to teach in junior colleges. Requirements for admis- sion are the same as those for the regular M.A. and M.S. degrees in the various colleges, and programs leading to the M.A.T. and M.S.T. may, with proper approval, be incorpo- rated into programs leading to the Ph.D. The requirements for the degrees are as follows: 1. A reading knowledge of one foreign language if required by the student's major department. 2. Satisfactory completion of at least 36 credits while registered as a graduate student, with work distributed as follows: a. At least 18 credits in the major (all work in the major field must be 5000 level or higher) and 6 credits in the minor. b. Six credits in a departmental internship in teach- ing (6943-Internship in CollegeTeaching). Three years of successful teaching experience in a state certified school may be substituted for the intern- ship requirement, and credits thus made avail- able may be used for further work in the major, the minor, or in education. c. At least one course in each of the following: social foundations of education, psychological founda- tions of education, and community college cur- riculum. These courses may be used to comprise a minor. 3. Off-Campus Work: A minimum of 8-16 credits (at the department's discretion), including registration for at least 6 credit hours in a single semester, must be earned on the Gainesville campus. Beyond that, credits, including those at the 5000 and 6000 level, earned in courses offered off- campus by the University of Florida which have been approved by the Graduate School shall be accepted, pro- vided they are appropriate to the student's degree program as determined by the supervisory committee. 4. At the completion of this degree, the student, for certification purposes, must present from the undergradu- ate and graduate degree programs no fewer than 36 semes- ter credits in the major field. 5. A final comprehensive examination, either written, oral, or both, must be passed by the candidate. This examination, taken on campus, will cover the field of concentration and the minor. MASTER OF ACCOUNTING The Master of Accounting (M.Acc.) is the professional degree for students seeking careers in public accounting, business organizations, and government. The M.Acc. pro- gram offers specializations in each of the three areas of auditing/financial accounting, management accounting, accounting systems, and taxation. The recommended curriculum to prepare for a profes- sional career in accounting is the 3/2 five-year program with a joint awarding of the Bachelor of Science in Accounting and the Master of Accounting upon satisfactory completion of the 156-hour program. The entry point into the 3/2 is the beginning of the senior year. Students who have already completed an undergraduate degree in accounting may enter the one-year M.Acc. program which requires satisfactory completion of 34 hours of course work. A minimum of 16 semester credits must be in graduate level accounting courses. At least 20 of the 34 semester credits must be in graduate level courses. Courses belowthe graduate level must have the approval of the major adviser. A final comprehensive examination, taken on campus, is required of all students. Additional requirements are listed under the General Regulations section for all master's degrees. M.Acc./J.D. Program.-This joint program culminates in both the Juris Doctor degree awarded by the College of Law and the Master of Accounting degree awarded by the Graduate School. The program is designed for students who have an undergraduate degree in accounting and who are interested in advanced studies in both accounting and law. The joint program requires 20 fewer credits than would be required if the two degrees were earned separately. The two degrees are awarded after completion of the curriculum requirements for both degrees. Students must take both the GMAT (or the GRE) and the LSAT prior to admission, and must meet the admission requirements for the College of Law (J.D.) and the Fisher School of Accounting (M. Acc.). Students must be admitted to the two programs simulta- neously. MASTER OF AGRICULTURE The degree of Master of Agriculture is designed for those students who wish additional training for agri-business occupations or professions rather than for those interested primarily in research. The general requirements are the same as those for the Master of Science degree without thesis except that 12 credits of graduate courses in a department constitute a major. Credit toward the degree for courses taken through the Division of Continuing Education is limited to 24 credits. The student's supervisory committee must consist of at least two members of the graduate faculty. A compre- hensive written qualifying examination, given prior to the midpoint of the term of graduation, and a final oral exami- nation are required. Both examinations must be given on campus with all participants present. MASTER OF AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (M.A.M.R.D.) The M.A.M.R.D. degree program provides an opportu- nity for graduate study for students who plan to enter management careers in business firms or government agen- cies; it is not recommended for those who plan careers in research and university teaching.
