Curriculum Major Technical Area Requirement A minimum of 21 master’s degree-eligible semester credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree must be taken in mathematics. These may include courses from previous graduate degrees as well as courses taken as part of the Ph.D. program. Comprehensive Examination Requirement Written comprehensives and oral comprehensives must be completed in the same semester. The doctoral comprehensive examinations are given in the last full week of September and January. Science Education, Ph.D. _____________________ Major Code: 9124 Degree Awarded: Doctor of Philosophy Age Restriction: N Admission status: graduate Delivery Mode/s: classroom, field Location/s: main campus Admission Materials: 3 letters of recommendation, résumé, objectives The doctor of philosophy program is designed to provide increased competence in science, science education and research. Recipients gain the appropriate knowledge and skills for positions in college and university science education programs; teaching, administration and supervisory posts in state and local school systems; positions teaching science in community colleges, liberal arts colleges and introductory science courses in universities; and as research directors in science education. The focus of the Ph.D. is typically theoretical, and dissertation research is oriented for the student going into a university graduate teaching and research setting. Admission Requirements An applicant to the doctoral program in science education must have a master’s degree in a field of science, technology, aeronautics or science education, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale. Although not required, at least three years’ teaching experience is also highly recommended. An applicant with a major technical area in aeronautics must also have FAA certification and enough practical experience to qualify as a professional in the aviation field. General admission requirements and the process for applying are presented in the Academic Overview section. Degree Requirements A minimum of 42 credit hours beyond the master’s degree is required to earn the doctoral degree. These credit hours include the following core courses that must be taken at Florida Tech (exceptions may be considered only through a written petition to be reviewed by the department’s graduate faculty). EDS 5070 Educational Statistics .............................................................. 3 EDS 5095 Essentials of Educational Research ......................................... 3 EDS 5203 Theories and Trends in Education .......................................... 3 EDS 6070 Statistics for Educational Research ......................................... 3 Additionally, students must satisfactorily complete three semester credit hours of Readings in Educational Research (EDS 6000) and three semester credit hours of Research Practicum (EDS 6010). The remainder of the requirements include at least 18 semester credit hours of Dissertation (EDS 6999), at least six semester credit hours of electives and completion of the major technical area requirement. 212 Florida Tech General degree requirements are presented in the Academic Overview section. Curriculum Major Technical Area Requirement A minimum of 21 master’s degree-eligible semester credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree must be taken in a chosen major technical area that includes aeronautics, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, environmental science, oceanography/earth science, physics or space science and systems, or psychology. These may include courses from previous graduate degrees as well as courses taken as part of the Ph.D. program and must include Legal and Ethical Issues in Aviation (AVM 5101) if the major technical area is aeronautics. Comprehensive Examination Requirement Written comprehensives and oral comprehensives must be completed in the same semester. The doctoral comprehensive examinations are given in the last full week of September and January. research Departmental faculty and students are involved in many research projects as outline below. National Environmental Literacy Assessment (NELA) Project: Funded by NOAA and EPA, and administered by the North American Association for Environmental Education, the NELA project is a multi-phase research project to help determine how environmental education practices support the development of environmental literacy among middle-school students around the U.S. Quarknet: The national Quarknet educational outreach research program exposes high school physics teachers and students to particle physics through hands-on experimental workshops. The program has built and is operating an educational cosmic ray air shower array distributed over participating high schools in Brevard County. Sustainable Coastal Management: Graduate research in sustainability often involves coastal management issues such as climate change, marine parks or reef fisheries. Undergraduate research includes campus sustainability projects such as green building design or water efficiency. Additional opportunities are based on varied student interests (sustainable business practice, green aviation). Mathematics Education: Diverse research activities arise from student interest, are conducted in collaboration with student advisers and span the entire K–16 community. Research is guided by current research and related issues that emerge from within the mathematics education research community. Science Education: Research activities in science education vary across all major science disciplines including aeronautics, biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental and earth science, physics and psychology. Students are encourage to pursue research topics commensurate with their science background and teaching experience and represent the application of science to the K–16 education community.

The program is offered through collaboration between the mathematics and biology departments. Primarily during the freshman and sophomore years biomathematics majors complete core courses, then specialize during the junior and senior years. Specialization is based on interest in computer science, mathematics or biology, while retaining interdisciplinary training. The interdisciplinary nature of the program enables undergraduates who are interested in combining mathematics, computer science and biology to be more competitive for graduate programs and careers in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biomedical engineering, biomathematics or medicine. Degree Requirements Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Biomathematics must complete the minimum course requirements as outlined in the following curriculum.
