- Florida Institute of Technology announces its first-ever master's degree in elementary education with the origination of the M.Ed. in Elementary Science Education program. Designed for the elementary school teacher-whether a science specialist or not-the program offers a one-third discount to Florida teachers.
Beginning Fall 2005, with the first class starting on Aug. 22, the 30-credit program offers all classes on Florida Tech's main campus. Classes will be held in the late afternoons and evenings. The curriculum provides elementary school practitioners with a background in advanced education, science education and environmental education. These are all subjects germane to the responsibilities of an elementary teacher and the focus of national goals.
Current teachers of grades 1-6 who would like to apply should send a resume, statement of objectives and three letters of recommendation to: Graduate Admissions, Florida Tech, 150 W. University Blvd., Melbourne, Fla. 32901. For more information, call (321) 674-7578, or send mail to Dr. David Cook at dcook@fit.edu.
Florida Tech's Department of Science & Mathematics Education offers the new program. The department has offered education degrees for over 30 years.
