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: IT 41, 52, 74, 102, 114, 115; MATH 11 or DS 71.

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 degree; a preadmission consultation session with the department
graduate program coordinator. Students lacking in any area with compensating
strengths in other areas are encouraged to apply.
Conditional classified standing may be granted to petitioning applicants
with a 2.5 to 2.99 GPA (last 60 semester units); GRE scores on file with
