Beginning in summer 2008, Texas Tech University will deliver the Master of Science in Multidisciplinary Science via a technology-enhanced, blended delivery format including online, interactive videoconferencing (IVC), and face-to-face meetings. The program will be delivered to a cohort of students who will be admitted during the spring of 2008. Students will take one course each fall and spring and two courses in the summer over a three-year period, summer 2008 to spring 2011. The curriculum consists of graduate courses in the sciences, mathematics and science education, culminating with a comprehensive application-based portfolio. Teachers complete 33 hours of graduate courses in science and mathematics and three graduate hours in science education. These courses provide a strong, broad-based background in science and mathematics content and also emphasize major concepts and their cross-disciplinary teaching and learning applications. Face-to-face sessions each summer will be held at the TTU Center at Junction for a three week period with some online post-course work. Courses taught via IVC will require attendance at one of Texas Tech's off campus education sites - TTU at Fredericksburg, TTU at Highland Lakes or TTU Center at Junction. Depending on demand, these courses may be delivered to other sites. Email Dr. Ratna Narayan to inquire about possible delivery to other sites. Classes are delivered using one or combination's of formats including web-based instruction and interactive video conferences. A three-week stay at TTU Center at Junction is required.     Accreditation Information: Texas Tech University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 2875  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 1568  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $460  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $8280  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
