Curriculum The following courses are required: EDS 5070 Educational Statistics* ........................................................3 EDS 5081 Research 1 ...........................................................................3 EDS 5095 Essentials of Educational Research* ...................................3 EDS 5410 Foundations of Environmental Education ..........................3 EDS 5420 Methods in Ecology and Environmental Content ...............3 EDS 5430 Methods for Environmental Problems and Issue Investigation ........................................................3 EDS 5440 Methods for Citizenship and Environmental Responsibility ......................................................................3 *These two courses must be taken at Florida Tech. Exceptions may be considered only through a written petition to be reviewed by the department’s graduate faculty. In addition to these seven courses, a minimum of 12 credit hours (i.e., usually four content courses) must be taken in a chosen environmental content concentration. With departmental approval, up to six credit hours of 3000- and 4000-level course work may be included in the content concentration. Any schedule that would meet these requirements within a seven-year period is acceptable. Any combination of part-time and/or full-time semesters can be used, as well as any combination of daytime, evening, and weekend and summer courses. The following is one example of a common schedule.

Bachelor of Science Degree Program Because of the increasing importance of science and technology in our daily lives, Florida Tech has recognized the need for an interdisciplinary program in the sciences that allows a student to enroll in a wide variety of science and engineering courses, supplemented by certain core courses and several carefully chosen electives. The most important characteristics of this degree are that it is flexible and tailored to the individual student’s needs, and that it emphasizes broad training in science. The graduate will have a well-rounded appreciation of science and its place in society, and will have acquired specific tools for his or her career. The bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary science is intended for students who plan graduate study in professional fields, those who are interested in a broadly based degree oriented toward the sciences or engineering, former science and engineering students who want a degree with wider scope and students seeking military careers. Graduates normally seek employment opportunities in aerospace, environmental work, medicine and health technology, personnel work, purchasing, development, management, the military, social work, marketing—in general, a wide variety of positions requiring an interdisciplinary background, as well as opportunities for advanced study, especially in the professional fields. Because of the great flexibility of the interdisciplinary science program, it is important that a student plan his or her program with an adviser as soon as possible. The adviser will be one of the department heads in the College of Science (listed above), the College of Psychology and Liberal Arts, or another faculty member designated by them. The student’s committee will be composed of those faculty deemed most appropriate to the student’s goals and objectives. A committee normally consists of three members, including the adviser. The basic requirements of the degree are given below, followed by a sample four-year program. The interdisciplinary science courses are chosen by the student to conform to his or her program plan. These courses must have the approval of the student’s adviser and committee, as well as the program chair. Students should start with a firm idea about the purpose of their degree and plan the program accordingly. The adviser will present some explicit four-year programs and suggest ideas about what courses are available, but each fouryear program is tailored to specific needs, and therefore must be developed jointly by the student and adviser. Before enrolling for more than 30 credit hours, the student is required to file a detailed plan of study. The plan must list the courses the student wishes to take, and explain why this set of courses fulfills his or her objectives. If the objectives change, modifications of the plan of study will be allowed if approved by the student’s committee. During the final semester, as part of the capstone experience, the student is required to write and orally present a paper.

Although program plans are typically designed on a student-by-student basis to meet individual needs and interests while fulfilling all degree requirements listed above, the following provides a general model that is followed by many students.

Technical, scientific and military studies are incorporated into the curriculum with emphasis on applied leadership and problem solving skills. Current freshmen and sophomores with no prior military service who seek an ROTC scholarship may attend the Leader’s Training Course between their second and third years. Students incur no service commitment on completion of this course. This 32-day camp provides students with basic military and problem solving skills, combined with physical training. The bachelor of science degree in interdisciplinary science, military science option, is earned by satisfying the degree requirements listed above and completing the advanced military science program, as described in the Nondegree Programs section of this catalog. All military science (MSC) courses taken are applicable to this degree, with up to 17 credit hours being applicable toward meeting the interdisciplinary science requirement. See the Nondegree Programs section for descriptions of the ROTC program and the sequencing and descriptions of the military science courses.
