SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES CATALOGUE

A.Y. 2008-2009

FOREWORD

In more than three decades of existence of the School of Graduate Studies, a number of changes in the curricular programs had been manifested. From its initial program offering in 1978 (viz., MTT, MLS and MASE), applicants to the School of Graduate Studies can now choose from an array of at least forty (40) programs. An overview of these programs that include a brief introduction, program objectives, admission requirements, policies, curricular offering and scheduling, courses and their description, faculty profile and other details are presented in this Catalogue. It is hoped that through this Catalogue, students will be able to familiarize themselves with the minutiae of the program. A walk-through on the program can readily help them in meeting curricular and other requirements for graduation. This Catalogue is also envisioned at promoting MSU-IIT graduate programs to the world. I believe that this compilation confirms MSU-IITs position as a leading institution at par with other globally renowned academia. We are grateful to the College Coordinators for their time and effort in scrutinizing and submitting the documents that form part of this Catalogue. Likewise, we wish to thank Dr. Ma. Cristina L. Duyaguit, Secretary of the School, and Mr. Jivv Roy B. Manaloto, Office Assistant, for consolidating and arranging all documents in the appropriate format. Above all, we are thankful to the MSU-IIT administration under Chancellor Marcello P. Salazar and Vice Chancellor For Academic Affairs Arnulfo P. Supe for their full support particularly in the publication of this Catalogue.

(Non-Thesis Program) Rationale

Globalization and the technology revolution have impacted on our national life in almost unimaginable ways. To cope with their effects, the Philippines has had to reassess and realign its national goals. In education, this realignment is spelled out in its objective of producing globally competitive graduates who possess among other competencies, competence in the language of the global village and in the use of the latest technology. Our facility in English, once our competitive edge over other Asian nations, is slowly being undermined by growing perceptions of its deterioration. The perceived deterioration is attributed to many factors not the least of which is the quality of instruction in all levels of our educational system. Since English is the medium through which practically all knowledge is assessed, it is imperative that the quality of instruction in English be upgraded. The Master in English Language Studies (Non-Thesis Program) is conceived to address the need to upgrade English language instruction in the tertiary level since this level is the training ground for teachers in all fields of study. The MELS (Non-Thesis Program) is designed to upgrade the competence and skills of college English instructors who do not have the inclination or the time to write a thesis, or the required undergraduate degree to teach English but who have been teaching English by force of circumstance, or the financial means to pursue a Master of Arts degree in English. The English Department Faculty of the College of Arts and Social Sciences has the capability and the experience to help upgrade the competence and skills of English instructors in this part of Mindanao. The expertise of its faculty members in language, literature and language teaching is acknowledged in the frequent visitations as resource persons in seminars, conferences and workshops or as consultants in research and publications. By implementing the MELS (Non-Thesis Program) the institute will put to good use the expertise of the English Department Faculty, add to its good name the distinction of being a CHED delivery school in English instruction and help work towards achieving our national objective in education.

Objectives
The MELS (Non-Thesis Program) commits to uphold the Institutes vision, mission and objectives. Specifically, the program aims to provide graduates with knowledge and skills to enable them to: 1. 2. upgrade their linguistic and discourse competence in English; apply appropriate approaches in teaching English and literature in a bilingual setting; 14

3.

undertake projects and studies in English language instruction and literature which are responsive to the peculiar needs of their communities.

Admission Requirements

MASTER IN SOCIOLOGY
Rationale
In this era of globalization when boundaries between and among systems of cultures, economies, and governance are rapidly breaking down, competition for survival and development among nations, institutions, groups, and individuals has likewise become much stiffer. As an academic institution which has been mandated to develop not only technicians who can serve the manpower needs of an industrializing Southern Philippines, but also fully educated graduates imbued with social visions and consciousness; MSUIligan Institute of Technology must respond more effectively to the need for improving the quality of education for academicians and practitioners in various fields. Of the existing social science programs at MSU-IIT, it is Sociology that is believed to be the most appropriate to respond to the challenge of providing the necessary competencies for one to gain competitive advantage along this field particularly in the regions of Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan. Sociology is the social science that tries to systematically understand the problems that change in culture, governance, economy, or physical environment can bring to people and society. Various problems of change can be meaningfully understood and thus appropriately attended to with the help of sociological perspectives and methods of inquiry which are multidisciplinary. It is against this backdrop that MSU-IIT has embarked on a masteral program in Sociology, which produced its first batch of graduates in 1993-1994. In response to the call of the Commission on Higher Education to fast track faculty upgrading to improve the quality of higher education, a non-thesis masteral program in Sociology has been developed as a branch-out of the thesis program. This institute is equipped with the necessary human skills and competencies to sustain a non-thesis program on selected areas of sociology. There are at least six faculty members with Ph.D. and M.A. degrees who could be tapped for the program. This faculty force could be strengthened by at least eight competent faculty from the main MSU campus. This Institute is therefore deemed highly competent to provide the service, which the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) needs to successfully achieve its goal of upgrading the capability of tertiary level faculty.

Objectives
The objectives of the program are: 1. To make MSU-IIT more responsive to the needs for sustainable development of the Southern Philippines by establishing a strong social science support at the graduate level through a non-thesis masteral degree program in Sociology. To strengthen the Institutes leadership in the field of service and educational development in the region by spearheading an academic area of concentration in Urban and Industrial Sociology, Population Studies and Social Problems. To develop fully educated individuals not only imbued with the skill of critical thinking in the analysis of social issues but also grounded on the human dimensions of values, ethics, traditions, and customs. 52

5.

To fast track MSU-IIT capability to cater to the career and advancement needs of teachers, leaders, employees, professionals and other social science practitioners in the region. To enrich systematic information based on the dynamics of sociocultural, economic, technological changes in the Southern Philippines through sociological studies.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

82

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Rationale
Cognizant of the need to help upgrade and eventually standardize the teaching of Physical Education in the MINSUPALA region and in view of the MSU-Systems role in developing and producing competent teachers who are prolific in instruction, research and extension, the Department of Physical Education (DPE) of the College of Education Department (CED) of MSU-IIT herein strongly proposes, after thorough studies, preparations and negotiations with the MSU-CSPEAR of the main campus, to adopt the Master of Science in Physical Education (MSPE) effective June 2004-2005.

The offering of MSPE program in MSU-IIT campus zeroes in on the pedagogical needs of Physical Education teachers in Mindanao. Particularly, it purports to: 1) Usher in cultural peace and development through programs that promote integration and understanding among the tri-people in Mindanao namely; the indigenous People (IPs), the lumads and the christians, 2) Alleviate poverty through sponsorship of highly organized institutional sports competitions promoting lucrative business opportunities on the part of the people and minimized expenditures on the part of the teachers who are pursuing masters degree in Physical Education offered in far places such as Cebu or Manila other than MSU-main campus, 3) Provide better educational integration and cultural understanding, content and approaches to enhance the field of Physical Education as a science that promotes sound-mind-and-sound-body-principle among the entire populace, and 4) Bring the special population and the handicaps, special children/ learners, etc. to the normal population, enabling them to become productive members of the society through ameliorative and remedial programs especially designed for People With Disabilities (PWD). The Department of Physical Education (DPE) is now capable of carrying on its mandate after a number of years of planning and preparations. It has very competent and committed roster of faculty members. To date, it has three (3) Ph.D. candidates, eleven (11) MSPE and MAPE/MAT-PE holders, and two (2) MSPE candidates. To complement its faculty force, it will tap the services of (5) Ph.D. holders of the Department of Professional Education. It has adequate equipment and facilities for instruction, research and extension and has sufficient library holdings for both graduate and undergraduate students. Having been granted Level II by the AACUP accreditors and having scheduled for Level III first visit, the DPE is therefore highly qualified to adopt the Master of Science in Physical Education (MSPE) Program in the MSU-IIT campus.

This program is a long overdue answer to the 1995 CED and DPE conducted researches on the needs and the teaching competencies of Physical Education teachers, which revealed the need to offer MSPE to upgrade their teaching competencies 83

in sport, physical education, recreation and dance. This was followed-up in a survey which was conducted in compliance with the requirement of the University Curriculum Committee. Subsequently, the findings suggested a magnanimous demand for offering the MSPE program in MSU-IIT.

In the regional scene, the dynamic programs of the Department of Physical Education (DPE) (i.e., the yearly Dance-Seminar Workshop for Teachers (DSWFT), along with the other extension activities sponsored by the department) are still in demand by DepEd teachers coming from Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Butuan City, and even Cebu (particularly Daan Bantayan). This demand has been unprecedented making the program dynamic and mobile in the past five (5) years. In the local scene, firstly, its faculty has been known to cater to the needs of the special population in Iligan City. In cooperation with the Iligan City Government and Rotary International, the DPE is tasked to provide programs to the People With Disabilities (PWD) for holistic development (an ideal avenue for which MSPE graduates can develop skills in research and extension); and secondly, there is an ongoing negotiations in the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Tubod Lanao del Norte Government for MSU-IIT to use Tubods state-of-the-art sports facilities as venue of the DPEs extension activities. All these manifest the peoples trust and confidence in the DPE as a potent agent of human development and as an active catalyst for change in MINSUPALA. If implemented, the program will also prepare the graduate students competencies in designing curricula in the three (3) levels of education for the indigenous people, Lumads and the Christians in Mindanao, overriding the greater role of bringing peace and development through its cultural and economic development activities and orientations.

Finally, in the global front, graduate teachers will be better prepared to select, train and develop, through competitive sports activities, regional, national and even international athletes to compete in the International Olympic Games (IOC), thereby bringing glory to this country.

Objectives
The program aims to produce graduates with advanced training in Physical Education capable of: 1. Managing the three (3) levels of cognition in Physical Education (P.E) stressing quality instruction through the implementation of a welldesigned curriculum fashioned for to the tri-people in Mindanao. 2. Undertaking independent research in Physical Education (P.E) for publication in professional journals. 3. Performing extension activities to promote social and cultural integration.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
Introduction
Civil engineering covers such diverse areas of concern as design of structural systems, water resource planning, treatment and ultimate disposal of noxious solid and liquid wastes, design of building systems for rural and urban dwellers in the commercial 135

and industrial sectors, development of transportation systems, construction methods and management, and implementation and management of public work projects designed to improve the environment without due prejudice to the health, safety and welfare of the public. The formation of new communities, cities and industries especially in Mindanao, the recent demands of the population for higher level of safety of the built environment calls for civil engineers with higher level of scientific and technical know-how. Undergraduate programs in civil engineering alone are not sufficient to meet the requirements necessary to produce high-level manpower resources for scientific and technological advancement and to satisfy the research and development demands of an industrialized country.

Objectives
The MSCE program is offered with the following objectives: 1. to provide high-level manpower resources in the field of civil engineering needed by industries and agencies in both the private and public sectors; and to develop the competence of Filipino scientists and engineers in the field of civil engineering through promotion and support of technical researches and related scientific activities.

2.

Admission Requirements
Admission to the program is contingent upon the policies and guidelines of the Graduate School. In addition, all applicants must meet the following requirements: 1. The student must have an undergraduate engineering degree from a recognized institution. In the event that the degree is in a field other than civil engineering, the student may be required to complete a set of prerequisite undergraduate courses before graduate degree credits may be accrued. 2. The student must have an undergraduate weighted average grade of at least 2.0 or equivalent, or must be able to show some evidence of potential ability to pursue a graduate degree, e.g., excellent performance in teaching or research, or experience in the industry or private sector as evidenced by a strong recommendation from his immediate superior or former mentors.

Degree Requirements
The degree may be earned through a thesis or coursework option. The minimum course requirements for each option are as follows:

Core courses are identified by CE prefixes. They may be taken from any of the five areas of discipline, namely, Engineering Construction and Management, Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Water Resources Engineering. The offering of such courses is based on the availability of faculty members vis--vis the number of students meeting the five-enrollee-per-class requirement. Core courses taken beyond the minimum requirement may be credited as electives. Foundation courses are identified by ES prefixes. These courses provide the students necessary background to tackle the core courses. ES 201 is a required foundation course and must be passed within the first year. Electives are courses that may be taken, in consultation with the adviser, from any of the foundation courses of the MOE or MSCE program, or from any discipline-related courses of the MOE program. Likewise, core courses of MSCE program beyond the 15unit or 24-unit minimum requirement for the thesis or coursework option, respectively, may also be credited as electives. Special Project is a course in which the student conducts a practice-oriented study culminating to the presentation of a project report. Comprehensive exam is a written exam given to students undergoing the coursework option. This is aimed at determining the students' ability to integrate and apply knowledge that they have acquired in their program of study.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Introduction
Environmental degradation is a glaring feature in the biosphere in the Twenty first Century, and must be addressed seriously before the worst effects would be felt particularly by human beings. Being the premier school in southern Philippines mandated to contribute to the development of MINSUPALA, the Mindanao State University through its Iligan Institute of Technology Campus must take heed to the demands of the time. It is but imperative for the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology to meet this demand primarily because the campus is situated in a city where several industries and a growing human population are exerting strong pressures on the environment. The concern of MSU-IIT, however, is not limited to its local environment but to the entire region of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan because irrational and unsustainable use of the environment is getting more prevalent in these regions. These realities have given impetus to MSU-IIT to develop a graduate program (masteral level) that proactively caters to problems related with the environment. Guided by MSU-IITs mandate of instruction, research and extension, the program is envisioned to contribute to solving multi-faceted environmental problems. With options to major in either Environmental Research, Environmental Education, or Environmental Planning and Management, the M.S. in Environmental Science is so timely because several environment-related government agencies, e.g. the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Health, and the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and some higher education institutions, are gearing up towards high levels of efficiency and competence in their personnel. The M.S. in Environmental Science is expected to provide an advanced and cutting-edge training to this clientele. At present, MSU at Naawan and the College of Forestry of MSU Marawi are implementing an undergraduate program in Environmental Science. Graduates from this program may proceed to enroll in the M.S. in Environmental Science, particularly those who are keen at getting an advanced level of training in environmental science. Long term sustainability of this graduate program is ensured by the fact that there is an existing strength and commitment in several faculty members from participating departments within MSU-IIT and the MSU System.

Objectives
The M.S. in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program. It aims to: 1. Provide an advanced formal manpower training for instruction and research capabilities in the various areas of environmental education, research, and planning and management, and Fill up the need for highly trained personnel in the government, private industries and academic sectors in the MINSUPALA Region.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN BIOLOGY

Introduction
The Mindanao State University has long been recognized as the premier university in the Southern Philippines. The various curricula offered by its seven autonomous campuses sufficiently provide an answer to the varied manpower needs of the MindanaoSulu-Palawan (MINSUPALA) Region. MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, in particular, has been identified as a center of excellence in various disciplines of science and technology. As such, it is expected to continuously provide training and development of manpower resources in the region through its undergraduate and graduate programs. Recently, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through the Mindanao Advanced Education Project (MAEP) identified MSU-IIT as a graduate center for several disciplines in the area of the sciences including biology. Geared towards substantial improvement in the manpower capability in the college/graduate levels in various institutions in Mindanao, MAEP provides financial assistance and scholarships to some faculty members from these institutions to pursue advanced degrees, either M.S. or Ph.D. At present, MSU-IIT in consortium with MSU-Marawi, is offering the M.S. Biology program. Considering the strong faculty profile, adequate laboratory and library facilities of the Department of Biological Sciences in both campuses, it is deemed appropriate that the university through the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) will offer the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biology with options in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Genetics and Environmental Biology.

Introduction
To improve the knowledge and competence in teaching and research in the various areas of specialization in chemistry e.g. Analytical, Biochemistry, Environmental Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry starting with the tertiary level faculty, the Faculty Development Program of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) envisions to upgrade the number of masters degree holders in the country, from 30% to 70%, most especially in the MINSUPALA Region

Objectives
The branching out from the existing Master of Science in Chemistry program to the degree of Master in Chemistry seeks to attain the following objectives: 1. Provide a degree program with a non-thesis mode, on a full time basis during summer terms and part time basis, through distance learning and scheduled lecture/contact hours, during regular semesters; Provide Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan (MINSUPALA) region a graduate program for tertiary faculty members currently teaching chemistry an advanced training in chemistry but not necessarily requiring intensive laboratory skills. Yield highly trained graduates who are competent for a teaching career in a science based schools/universities; and Upgrade the competence of chemistry teachers both in content and methodology.

B.S. - M.S. IN CHEMISTRY STRAIGHT PROGRAM

Introduction
The B.S.-M.S. in Chemistry Straight Program is intended for exceptional undergraduate B.S. Chemistry students who are highly qualified to go into the M.S. Program. By going into the Straight Program, the number of years spent to get the M.S. degree (after the B.S. degree) is decreased, thereby producing M.S. graduates earlier, which is an advantage both to the student in particular and to the country in general. By graduating earlier, less government funds are spent, and earlier service to the country is rendered by the M.S. in Chemistry degree holder. This is a rider program, which follows the latest approved B.S. in Chemistry Program and latest approved M.S. in Chemistry Program, and thus makes use of existing resources.

Objectives
1. To produce M.S. in Chemistry graduates from highly exceptional undergraduate B.S. in Chemistry students in a relatively shorter time. To increase the absolute and relative numbers of highly trained manpower in chemistry research especially for the Mindanao and Visayas regions. To upgrade college and university chemistry teaching in content and in methodology. To provide chemical industries with highly trained manpower in chemistry to man analytical and quality control laboratories.

Admission Requirements
1. Must have taken all the course requirements of the latest approved B.S. in Chemistry Program up to the Fourth Year Level except the following: Seminar II (Chem 192 B) 1 unit Cognates ..................................................... 8 units (in Proposed Revised B.S. Chemistry Curriculum) Thesis (Chem 199) ..................................... 3 units 2. Must have an overall GPA of 2.00 or better (for all courses taken) at the end of the Third Year level.

3.

Must take a qualifying examination in the four areas of Chemistry namely: Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry. Qualifying examinations are rated as either Q (Qualified), P (Passed), or D (Deficient). Qualifying exams will be given as scheduled by the department.

To qualify for the straight program requires a rating of at least Q in two areas with at least P in the other 2 areas. A student who obtains only P ratings in the four areas (with no Qs) will have to go through the regular B.S. program. Upon completion of the B.S., the student can apply for admission into the regular M.S. program. Upon being qualified, the student, with his adviser, prepares his program of study for approval by the Chemistry Graduate Committee. He should now register for graduate thesis, instead of undergraduate thesis, and graduate courses, instead of the cognates. In case he opts not to finish the M.S. requirements, he applies for substitution of courses to credit his graduate courses for the B.S. Chemistry Degree.

Degree Requirements To qualify for the B.S. in Chemistry degree together with the MS in Chemistry degree through the B.S.-M.S. Straight Program, a student must comply with the following requirements: 1. Undergraduate Courses: Must have successfully completed all the course requirements of the latest approved B.S. in Chemistry Program up to the Fourth Year level, except Chem 192B (Seminar II, 1 unit), Cognates (8 units), and Chem 199 (Undergraduate Research, 3 units). Graduate Courses: Must have successfully completed at least 36 units of the course work (including 6 units of M.S. Thesis) specified in his/her program of study. GPA: Must have an overall Grade Point Average Grade of 2.0 or better after each semester, for all graduate courses taken. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be put on probation in the following semester upon recommendation of the Chemistry Graduate Committee. Failure to maintain the required GPA after the probation period of one semester shall automatically disqualify the student from the program. Comprehensive Examination: Must have passed a comprehensive examination in her/his chosen area of specialization. Defense: Must have successfully defended his/her M.S. Thesis.

Ph.D. IN CHEMISTRY (REVISED CURRICULUM)

Introduction

314

The Iligan Institute of Technology of the Mindanao State University (MSU-IIT) is mandated to develop the scientific manpower and technical capability of the Mindanao region in order to achieve a speedy economic development of the country. As an academic institution, it must offer and support programs that will bring about the effective fulfillment of its goals. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) identified it as a Graduate Center for Chemistry under its Mindanao Advanced Education Project (MAEP). As such, it is tasked to help produce the critical mass of scientists in the field of chemistry that will catalyze the development of Mindanao. In 1998, it was identified by CHED as a Center of Excellence (COE) in Chemistry. The Department of Chemistry of MSU-IIT, being one of the academic divisions of the institute, must strive towards the realization of this mandate. One way of achieving this is to offer graduate programs in Chemistry, specifically Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Program, in addition to its specific tasks of undertaking basic, applied, and mission-oriented researches.

Objective
The Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Program aims to provide advanced training in the Science of Chemistry which will enable the student to conduct an independent investigation of a research problem.

Admission Requirements
(1) (2) Applicants must possess an M.S. Chemistry degree or its equivalent. Applicants must submit the following: (a) a completed application form of the MSU-IIT Graduate School; (b) a certified true copy of the Official Transcript of Records; and (c) two letters of recommendations from former lecturers/professors. All applications will be evaluated by the Chemistry Graduate Committee. An interview with the applicant may be required in some cases.

(3)

Degree Requirements
1. Courses: A minimum of six (6) total units of course work after the M.S. degree, three (3) units of thesis proposal preparation, four (4) units of seminar presentations, twelve (12) total units of thesis work, and one (1) unit of thesis seminar, are required. The directed research work consists of a laboratory investigation of a research problem leading to the Ph.D. Thesis. The graduate seminars are one (1) unit courses involving the presentation of a research paper arising from library, directed research work, and thesis. 2. 3. Defense: The student must have successfully defended his/her Ph.D. Thesis. Publication: In addition to the comprehensive examination requirement, the student must have at least 1 refereed international publication (full length paper) from his/her Directed Research Work or Ph.D. Thesis. No student will be cleared for graduation 315

without showing proof (e.g., galley proof of the paper, or original reprint of the published paper) of the required publication. Acceptability of proofs will be decided upon by the Chemistry Graduate Committee. If all requirements have been met except the publication, the student is required to register in Chem 599 (Ph.D. Thesis) for residency purposes only every term until the publication requirement is complied.

MASTER OF MATHEMATICS
Introduction
More than ten years of implementation of the Master of Science in Mathematics (MS MATH) program reveals that many applicants seeking for admission to the program have inadequate preparation for graduate mathematics. These applicants have either Bachelors degree from related disciplines and who decide to pursue a degree in mathematics because of their present occupation such as teaching tertiary mathematics or applicants with degree in a mathematics curriculum who has insufficient mathematics components towards a standard MS Math program. Admitted to the MS Mathematics program under conditional status, these type of applicants are required to undertake a one or two semesters of undergraduate advance mathematics coursework, many are not able to acquire the necessary maturity to tackle mathematics courses in the MS Math curriculum. Having no other options provided by the Mathematics Department, the student would either stay another year of transition courses or leave the MS Math program. To prevent wastage in educating the prospective tertiary mathematics teachers and to make graduate offerings more flexible, the Mathematics Department designed a masteral degree curriculum that provides advanced training for teaching tertiary mathematics which can also be used by students as a qualifying degree for MS Math.

Objectives
1. 2. To provide training in Mathematics concepts for high school or tertiary teaching up to the level of calculus; To serve as post baccalaureate qualifying degree for a standard MS Mathematics curriculum.

Admission Requirement
An applicant for the Master of Mathematics program must have: 1. A baccalaureate degree in mathematics, science, science education, engineering or other related disciplines with at least 24 units of Mathematics including the standard calculus sequence; an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.0; Two letters of recommendation from two former professors attesting to the applicants intellectual capacity for advance studies; and Must comply with the general admission requirements of the university and the MSU-IIT Graduate School.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MATHEMATICS

Introduction
The M.S. in Mathematics program is primarily designed to upgrade mathematics training of college teachers in the teaching profession as well as to cater the mathematics needs of those in other profession related to mathematics.

Objectives
1. Provide one a career in teaching mathematics and prepare him for doctoral work in mathematics. 2. Provide students a good initial know-how in research and motivate them to participate in some research endeavors in mathematics.

Admission Requirements
1. 2. Must undergo an evaluation test in Advanced Calculus, Algebraic Structures, Finite Mathematics or their equivalents. In case a student has deficiencies, he/she needs to take some undergraduate courses. These courses will be determined by the Department of Mathematics. A passing mark not below 2.5 is required in each of these courses.

Degree Requirements
1. The MS Mathematics Program requires a minimum of 36 units of course work which include 18 units of three of the four sequential courses, 12 units of mathematics electives and 6 units of thesis work. The masteral thesis should be a contribution to the field. However, in practice, due to the difference in students capabilities in doing research work, thesis output may either contributory to the field or expository in nature (thesis substitute). In the latter case, the student should take 6 units of math courses other than the required electives and must be of levels higher than the three sequential courses. These substitute courses of 6 units are in a way, preparatory courses for a doctoral program. The student will be required to demonstrate his grasp of fundamentals by taking comprehensive examination in two of the three sequential courses. The comprehensive examination may be repeated once within a span of one year. Failure to pass in the second attempt will mean disqualification from the program. The examination, if needed, may be taken only in areas of failure.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN MATHEMATICS

Introduction
The country's science and technology capability must be developed to a level where it can contribute to the realization of our vision for the Philippines in the new millennium. Our vision is clear. We hope that somehow we can compete with the rest of the world and attain economic prosperity. But until today, many problems remain and there are hardly any solutions. Amidst all the imaginable answers to our problems, mathematics education stands out. Our leaders should realize that mathematics is vital because it is the key to science and technology. To help address the countless demands confronting our nation today, the Department of Mathematics of MSU-IIT, along with the Mathematics Department of MSU-Marawi, works hard to expand and enrich its graduate programs. With the Ph.D. in Mathematics program, the MSU system supports the needs of future researchers in the industries, in pure and applied mathematics, in science and technology, and in other allied fields. It also encourages colleges and universities around Visayas and Mindanao to maintain and develop their own mathematics programs, knowing that they can send their math instructors to MSU-IIT for advanced studies, where expenses are much less compared to Manila. With this, MSU stays at forefront in the development of mathematics in this part of the country. The Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics is designed for college graduates majoring in mathematics or for M.S. Mathematics students planning to pursue further studies to prepare themselves either for college teaching or for mathematics research.

Objectives
1. 2. 3. Provide an accessible venue for higher Mathematics education; Improve Mathematics education in the country; Stimulate and encourage research in pure and applied mathematics

Admission Requirements
In addition to the entry requirements of the university and the MSU-IIT Graduate School, the following must be met by the applicant: 1. He (or She) must have completed at least 30 units of M.S. courses in mathematics from any recognized and acceptable institution and these courses should include Algebra, Analysis, and Topology; His weighted average grade (GPA) in all graduate math courses must be 1.75 or better; He must submit two (2) letters of recommendation from former graduate math professors; In case of deficiencies, the Mathematics Graduate Committee may, in addition, require him to (i) have a graduate GPA of 1.75 or better; and/or (ii) undergo an interview.

Introduction
The D. Math (Doctor of Mathematics) Program, an option of the existing Ph.D. in Mathematics Program of the Department of Mathematics , is designed to cater to the needs of a broader clientele, encompassing MS degree holders in mathematics and other related fields, who are competent to undergo the rigors of learning mathematics but are more inclined into the art of teaching mathematics rather than in mathematics research. Whereas the Ph.D. Math Program, which is directed towards mathematics research, requires 60 academic units in math courses in various fields, a comprehensive exam and a dissertation with original contribution in a chosen field of specialization, which is publishable in refereed journals, the D. Math Program requires 72 units of academic requirement, a comprehensive exam and a doctoral thesis , which may be expository in nature but with sufficient degree of originality and does not require publication. A student can be awarded either a Ph.D. Math or D. Math degree but not both. However, a student who has successfully defended his doctoral thesis may opt to write a dissertation to obtain a Ph.D. Math degree.

Objectives
1. 2. 3. Develop more experts in teaching mathematics courses in all levels; Increase the number of doctoral students at no additional cost; and Keep at pace with the trend of in graduate mathematics programs worldwide.

Admission Requirements
In addition to the requirements of the University for admission to the Graduate School, the following must be met by the applicant: 1. He (or She) must have completed at least 30 units of MS Math courses , which includes Algebra, Analysis and Topology, from any recognized and acceptable institution; 2. His weighted average grade (GPA) must be 1.75 or better in all graduate math courses; 3. He must submit two letters of recommendation from former graduate professors; 4. He must submit a copy of his transcript of records; 5. In case of deficiencies of the above requirements, the Mathematics Graduate Committee may in addition require the applicant to undergo an interview and have a GPA of 1.55 or better to determine his admissibility to the program.

Rationale
388

Consistent with the mandate of the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) as Center-of-Excellence (COE) of Physics outside of Luzon and as a DOST-PCASTRD accredited institution in Physics, the Department of Physics of MSU-IIT recognizes its special responsibility to continually improve the quality of physics research and instructional delivery system of physics in the country specially in Southern Philippines. Recognized by CHED as COE by virtue of CHED Resolution No. 021-98, the Institute is proud of its role as premier institution producing a generation of brilliant physics graduates who are now holding teaching and research positions in universities of the country. The existing Master of Science in Physics (MS) program at MSU-IIT is designed for those who intend to proceed to the Ph.D. Physics program or engage in teaching advanced physics courses or do research both in the academe and Industry. Faced with stringent requirements that the MS Physics program demands only very few students can be admitted into this program since there are only few Bachelor of Science (BS) Physics graduates in the country. The present overwhelming need is to address the cause of deteriorating quality of tertiary physics education in the country. The implementation of Master of Physics (MOP) program in the Philippines Center-of-Excellence in Physics responses to the call of the Commission on Higher Education with its Higher Education Development Project to improve and upgrade the academic qualifications of the university and college physics instructors. MOP program enables engineering and allied science degree holders to enroll in a regular masters degree program designed for those teaching physics in the tertiary level. Quality physics instruction and advanced research facilities of the Department of Physics uphold the MOP program of the Institute by introducing students to the challenge and excitement of understanding the broad principles of physics.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

Introduction
The multi-disciplinary program, Master of Science in Computer Applications (MSCA), is geared to satisfy the demand for IT practitioners in various fields. It is flexible and can be tailored to the growing needs of industry, business and academe in the country, especially in the Southern Philippines. The program was introduced in 1997 in answer to the requirements outlined in the CHED Mindanao Advanced Education Program. While graduates of the program have mostly served in the academe, they were primarily empowered to organize information in the solution of problems in science, engineering, and business. Very recent developments necessitate the adaptation of the program to exploit the opportunities available to the university and the students. MSCA thus, branches out to the following programs: Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) Master of Science in Information Management (MSIM) Master of Computer Applications (MCA) Master of Computer Science (MCS) Master of Information Technology (MIT) Master of Information Management (MIM) This is to give the students wide array of choices on whether to pursue a research or an application track in their program of study. This setup also gives the students greater access to the programs through fellowship grants that will be available through the choice of program.

Objectives
The MSCA program is offered with the following objectives: 1. 2. 3. 4. to provide advanced training in the application of computers and information technology in the various fields of science, technology and business; to teach computational methods to solve problems in science, technology and business; to contribute to the manpower needs of the industries, business and academe in the country; and to stimulate and encourage researches in fields of science, technology and business.

MASTER IN INFORMATION AND LIBRARY SYSTEMS

Rationale
The design of the existing MLS curriculum was last revised in 1986. It was based on the old/traditional way of library operations. Recent developments in technology have however radically changed the format of information sources, the way of seeking, accessing and delivering information and of the learning styles. It has also brought about the existence of other alternative information providers serving as competitors of the library in the information market place. More so, the capabilities and capacities of technology have increasingly transformed libraries into a virtual place. The expectation of the 21st century setting has expanded the role of librarians from mere passive custodians of library materials to librarians with knowledge of computer database and library automation systems. Todays librarian is expected to act as: a) Information Architect - having the ability to set up information on the Internet and to control the flow of information inside the organization b) Infopreneur - an information professional who could pore over public database, who can scan electronic sources, conduct on-line searches then synthesize, package or customize information for a client. c) Information Broker - a freelancing researcher needed by private corporations and consulting firms. d) Data Manager - a worker for software developers e) Knowledge Navigator - a personal aide to users in identifying suitable website and getting information through the web f) Webmaster - a facilitator of individual knowledge gathering g) Information Specialist - the ultimate search engine skilled in organizing and retrieving information. To adapt to all these developments and expectations means that library instruction has to restructure its curriculum. Degreed librarians today must have taken courses in basic computing, automated information management, design and implementation of distributed information methods, web site exploration, network management, etc. They have to evolve and stay ahead of changes in the environment; otherwise, other private information providers will usurp the librarians place. One role that they should be in the forefront now is to involve themselves in system design and to actively participate in the development of information services products (like GOPHER, and other internet products), rather than just coping with the finished information service products. Hence, this revision, which is inherently ICT-based and interdisciplinary, having links with other related disciplines like IT, and computer applications.

DOCTOR IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (DISDS)

Rationale
The unprecedented advances in science and technology have raised continuing challenges that need to be addressed in the academe. The past and the present strategies of industrialization led to an unacceptable damage to the biophysical environment and affected social inequalities both within the developed communities and the non-industrialized world. Global warming, climate change, resource depletion, wastefulness and pollution generation are some of the challenges faced by societies. There is a need to formulate solutions and new strategies to deal with these issues employing appropriate tools to address poverty, health and other societal and environment-related issues. Likewise, it is imperative to understand the scientific issues behind climate, hydrology, disease, ecology, biodiversity, soil science, infrastructure engineering and toxicology, in order to implement government policies, business strategies, technologies and proper attitude to be imbibed and options have to be undertaken to attain economic progress, ecological protection and social justice towards greater sustainability. Iligan Institute of Technology, the CHED CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, has been mandated to contribute to the development of the MINSUPALA Region. The concern of IIT is for the entire region of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan to develop solutions to multi-faceted environment-related problems. The realities in the socio-cultural, political and economic environment prompted MSU-IIT and DENR-MGB to develop a graduate program in Sustainable Development Studies that is geared towards sustainability of community based resources and its utilization by the present and the future generations. The graduate program in Sustainable Development Studies is ladderized type, especially designed to attract people in the government and private sectors who deal with the utilization of the countrys natural resources. The graduate diploma (Graduate Diploma in Sustainable Development Studies) requiring 18 units only can be completed in one year. An additional of 17-20 units is required for the masters degree (Master in Development Studies) which needs another year. To proceed to the doctoral program (Doctor in Sustainable Development Studies), an additional of 24-26 units must be taken for another year. Students spend one year for graduate diploma, two years for masters and three years for doctoral degrees. Almost all courses/subjects include 25% classroom-based activities and 75% research or activities which are field-based. In the three options, students learn how to become more effective in conceptualizing, planning, and implementing sustainable development programs through better understanding of the issues, enhanced technical skills and improved awareness of the commercial and management techniques in delivering more sustainable practices in their socio-cultural, political and economic milieu.

462

Objectives
The program aims: 1. To produce professional experts on sustainable development with the understanding and skills necessary to conceive and deliver fitting solutions to societys needs and to address local challenges within a sustainability framework; 2. To explore value frameworks which are based on the concepts of sustainable development that can guide the design and management of environmentally critical projects so that their impacts are addressed at every stage of planning, implementation, evaluation and monitoring; To develop a strong socio-eco-political awareness among graduates and to foster an understanding of the foundations of management theory in the areas of strategy, organization, social marketing and environmental economics, the connections between technology and management, and the introduction of change within organizations; and To encourage and stimulate an appreciation of trade offs and conflicts inherent in decision making and the need to seek wider and alternative solutions to technical problems so that graduates of the course can engage in strategic and critical thinking during their employment within industry, business or government.
