REQUIREMENTS FOR MASTER'S DEGREES / 23

 WORK REQUIRED.-A minimum of 48 credits of course work is required,
of which at least 24 quarter credits shall be at the 600 level or above. If
a departmental major is claimed, 18 credits must be in the major depart-
ment, and consist of courses strictly for graduates (600 level) or under-
graduate courses (500 level) approved by the Graduate Council for grad-
uate major credit. Each student's program is designed to take into account
the qualifications and needs of the individual and is subject to the approval
of the supervisory committee. A thesis is not required, but the student must
submit reports, term papers, and records of work accomplished. A compre-
hensive written qualifying examination, given by the supervisory committee,
is required one quarter prior to graduation. Failure to qualify in this exam-
ination will require either the student's elimination from the program or addi-
tional course work. A final oral examination by the supervisory committee,
covering the candidate's whole field of study, is required.
 LIMITS ON OFF-CAMPUS WORK.-Credit for courses taken through the
State Centers for Continuing Education as applied to the degree of Master
of Agriculture is limited to 25 credits. Credit in extension courses (limited to
9 credits) from the University of Florida and Florida State University and
credit transferred from another accredited institution reduce proportionately
the credit accepted from the graduate residence centers.
 For further details, inquire of the Dean of the College of Agriculture.

 MASTER OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
 The Master of Building Construction degree is designed for those students
 whose needs are better fulfilled by additional course work rather than the

 WORK REQUIRED.-The student must complete 50 credits of course work,
 of which at least 25 must be in the Department of Building Construction at
 the 600 level. The remainder may be in other departments in courses at the
 300 level or above or in this department in courses specifically approved for
 graduate major credit. This remainder must be distributed in lots of no less
 than 9 credits in order to constitute either one or two minor areas. There
 is no foreign language requirement.

 MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
 The requirements for the Master of Business Administration degree have
 been designed to give the student broad general preparation for managerial
 work, with emphasis upon developing his capacities and skills for business
 decision-making. A limited amount of specialization in one field is also re-
 quired.
 This degree is awarded upon the completion of a foundation program of
 8 courses and a graduate program of 51 credits. The foundation program
 may be satisfied in whole or in part by appropriate undergraduate courses.
