 It is often advisable for the graduate student to plan his program of study so that
his work will not only qualify him for an advanced degree or a post-graduate certificate
but will also enable him to secure specific certification in one of the fields in which the
Florida State Department of Education requires certification before the individual can
accept a position in the field. For example, it is necessary for a person working in the
field of education to be certified in administration and supervision if he wishes to secure
a principalship or a supervisory position. In order to secure such certification the
candidate must complete studies in a number of fields which are specified by the State
Department of Education.
 It is one of the functions of the counselor to go over these problems with the indi-
vidual graduate student so that a plan of work may be agreed upon which will promote,
to as great an extent as possible, the varying purposes and goals of the student. It is the
obligation of the student to acquaint his counselor with his goals and purposes so that
this may be accomplished.
 Recommended programs of study in some of the fields of specialization have been
carefully worked out. The student should consult his counselor concerning these
programs.
