Master of Science Degree Requirements
The Master of Science in Industrial Technology is a 30-unit
program which offers graduate study in both industrial and educational
related professional and technical fields. Emphasis is directed
toward the attainment of advanced competency in the areas of industrial
and technology education as well as manufacturing technology.
Through selected courses, within the department and other disciplines,
knowledge and experience can be acquired in research and development,
management and adminis tration, technological studies, and educational
studies that are related to all areas of the field.
Admission Requirements. The Master of Science degree program
in Industrial Technology assumes preparation equivalent to a CSU
undergraduate major in technology education (industrial arts),
industrial technology, or a related field. Students who have not
completed a degree in technology education or industrial technology
are expected to have completed the following courses or their
equivalents prior to enrollment in courses to be applied toward
the master's program: I T 41, 52, 60, 74, 102, 114, 115; MATH

or a related field; a 3.0 GPA (last 60 semester units); a 450V/430Q
GRE score; three letters of reference from employers or faculty
at the university attended most recently; a personal statement
of 500 words or less indicating reasons for pursuing a master's
