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;

3.
undertake projects and studies in English language instruction and literature

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.
2.
3.
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
4.
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.

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:

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
2.
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.
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.

Rationale
The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, recognizing the
great need to improve the quality of education attuned to the manpower requirements of the
MINSUPALA Region and also at the national and global levels, proposed this non-thesis
Master of Biology (MOB) curriculum. Such is a branched-out curriculum of the existing
program which envisioned to be a strong catalyst in the development of biological
education, research and extension, thus providing for the manpower needs of the region
and enabling the future generation to address problems of biological significance such as
pollution, abuse of natural resources, increased demand for food sources, disease
prevention and control in man, livestock or agricultural crops.
Objectives

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
2.
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. In doing so, the Mindanao State
University can answer the demand for advanced training in teaching and research
capabilities in the region.
Objectives
Envisioned to develop the manpower resources in the MINSUPALA Region, the
Ph.D. (Biology) program shall:
1.
2.
provide advanced formal training for instruction and research capabilities in the
area of the biological sciences, and
fill the need for highly trained biologists in the government, private industries and
academic sectors in the region.
Admission to the Ph.D. (Biology) Program shall require:
1. a B.S. degree in biological science or allied fields from a recognized institution of
higher learning with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better (for the
MS-Ph.D. direct program).
243
2. a M.S. degree in biological science or allied fields from a recognized institution

of higher learning with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better in the
M.S. degree (for the regular program).
3. three (3) letters of recommendation from former professors/immediate supervisor
attesting to the students intellectual capacity for advance studies.
4. satisfaction of the School of Graduate Studies/institutes admission
requirements.
Probationary, conditional or special admission may be granted to applicants with
deficiencies (viz., GPA lower than 2.0, lack prerequisites, etc.) as may be determined by
the Ph.D. Biology Program Committee.
Course Requirements
A minimum of 60 units (48 course work and 12 dissertation) shall be required for
students entering the program with a B.S. degree and 39 units (27 course work and 12
dissertation) for students entering with a M.S. degree.
A. Core Courses (21 units) (Must be taken by students entering the program with a B.S.
degree. Students entering with a M.S. degree who have taken any of these courses or
their equivalents can have them validated. Request for validation must not exceed 9
units for those who obtained their M.S. degree from outside the MSUS).

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;
2.
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.
3.
Yield highly trained graduates who are competent for a teaching career in a
science based schools/universities; and
4.
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.
2.
To increase the absolute and relative numbers of highly trained manpower in

chemistry research especially for the Mindanao and Visayas regions.
3.
To upgrade college and university chemistry teaching in content and in

methodology.
4.
To provide chemical industries with highly trained manpower in chemistry to man

analytical and quality control laboratories.
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.
297
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).
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.

5.
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.
(1)
Applicants must possess an M.S. Chemistry degree or its equivalent.
(2)
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.
(3)
All applications will be evaluated by the Chemistry Graduate Committee. An

interview with the applicant may be required in some cases.
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.
Defense: The student must have successfully defended his/her Ph.D. Thesis.
3.
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.
2.
3.
4.
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.
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.
2.
3.
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
In addition to the entry requirements of the university and the MSU-IIT Graduate
School, the following must be met by the applicant:
1.
2.
3.
4.
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.
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.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
MASTER OF PHYSICS
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.
Objectives
To provide an effective learning environment for students thereby equipping them

to be responsive to the manpower needs of the country.
To produce highly competent graduates with solid and rigorous training in

advanced physics courses for tertiary instruction.
i.) Possession of a bachelors degree in engineering, mathematics, chemistry, or
physics education or, if not a graduate of any of these, a GPA of 2.0 (or its equivalent)
or better in the following undergraduate courses: General Physics (10 units), Calculus
(10 units), and Differential Equations (3 units).
ii.) Pass the entrance examination in general physics and mathematics. Two (2) letters
of recommendation from former professor and immediate supervisor attesting to the
applicants intellectual capacity for advanced studies.
iii.) Compliance of the School of Graduate Studies and the Institute admission
requirements.

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.
to provide advanced training in the application of computers and information

technology in the various fields of science, technology and business;
2.
to teach computational methods to solve problems in science, technology and

business;
3.
to contribute to the manpower needs of the industries, business and academe

in the country; and
4.
to stimulate and encourage researches in fields of science, technology and

business.
412
To apply for admission into the program, a prospective student must have:
1.
A baccalaureate degree in Computer Science, Information Technology,

Information Management, Engineering, Mathematics or other fields that may
prepare him for the specialization he/she wants to pursue;
2.
Demonstrable proficiency in at least one high-level programming language

which may be through passing a formal course in programming or a
Programming Proficiency Examination or an equivalent certification
examination;
4.
An undergraduate GPA of at least 2.0;
5.
Recommendations from two former professors; and
6.
Pass an interview with the Program Admissions Committee.
Students pursuing a Computer Science or Information Technology specialization

must have a background in Calculus covering at least Integral and Differential
Calculus. Moreover, those interested in specializing in Computer Science must
have a background in Discrete Mathematical Structures, Theory of Computation,
Data Structures and Algorithm, Operating Systems, Programming Languages,
Database Systems, and Software Engineering.

All students will have to take the following courses:

i. Data Structures (ICT 201)
ii. Computer Organization and Architecture (ICT202)
iii. Operating Systems (ICT 206)
Computer Science, Information Technology students are required to take

programming Languages for Computer Science and Information Technology (ICT
203) while Information Management students are to take Programming Languages
for Information Management (ICT 207).
Those students who plan to get a degree in computer Applications must take
Numerical Methods (Math 214/ICT 204) and Computer Interfacing (ICT 205).
Students whose training include a strong background in Discrete Mathematical

Algorithm, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Database Systems and
Software Engineering may apply for advanced credits for ICT 201 (Data
Structures), ICT 202 (Computer Organization and Architecture), ICT 203
413
(Operating Systems), ICT 206 (Programming Languages) by passing an

equivalency examination on topics covered in these courses.
Specialization Courses (18 units for Master of Science and 24 units for
Master's):
Specialization Courses are courses that the adviser feels will strengthen the
education of the student in his/her chosen area of specialization. These will be
identified in the program of study to be prepared by the student together with
his/her registration adviser prior to his/her first semester in the program taking
into account the preparation of the student and the study goals. This list may be
modified upon consultation with thesis/project adviser when the
thesis/project/special problem of the student shall have been identified.
Research Seminar (1 unit)

Each student will be asked to enroll in a research seminar course where he/she will
report on the progress and/or results of his/her research relevant to the thesis or
special problem/project chosen.
Thesis (6 units)
A thesis is required for students who want to obtain a Master of Science degree. It
shall be continually enrolled until the student graduates or is removed from the
program.
Special Problem/Project
This is required for a student who plans to earn a Masters degree and not a Master
of Science degree. The special problem/project will equivalent to 6 units. The
student will continually enroll in this course unit the student graduates or is
dropped from the program.
Additional Courses (6 units)

Additional 6 units of Specialization Courses are required of students doing a
Masters program (not Master of Science) if their preparation is weak as
determined by the admissions committee through exam and/or interview.
Students enrolled in Masters program are required to take a comprehensive
examination in the required courses. They may take this exam after completing 18
units of coursework to include required courses. A student must be in good
414
standing (GPA of 2.0 or better) before taking the examination. The exam must be
passed within two tries.

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.

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.
3.
4.
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.
