Purpose. The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to concentrate at the Master's level in one or more of the subject areas related to family and consumer sciences. The goal of the program is to prepare persons for further graduate study; for public school or college teaching; as specialists in nutrition, welfare, or other service agencies; or as professionals in, or consultants to, business, industry, and government.

Program. In consultation with a faculty advisor, and with the approval of the Department Chair, students may develop a program of courses in one of four specializations. Each student will complete a set of core courses plus coursework specific for each specialization. The four specializations include apparel design, family studies, nutrition, and family and consumer sciences education. All candidates shall complete at least 45 credits as outlined in an approved Course of Study filed with the Office of Graduate Studies and Research. The student's advisor and graduate committee, comprised of at least three faculty, will assist in the development of the program. With approval by the Department Chair and the Committee Chair, faculty can be selected from another department.

It is expected that six thesis credits, based upon an independent research project, will be included in the student's program.

Admission Requirements. Students applying to the Nutrition Specialization are required to submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) results with their application.

Geology

Program Objectives and Description: The graduate program in the Geological Sciences is designed to prepare students for professional employment in geoscience careers in industry, consulting firms, local, state, or federal government, teaching at the community college or secondary level, and serves as a foundation for graduate studies beyond the M.S. level. It is also suitable training for careers in environmental law and natural resource and hazard planning. The Department encourages an integrative, multi-disciplinary approach.

Admission Requirements: Incoming students are expected to meet the requirements of the Graduate School, have a solid background in science and mathematics, and show evidence of superior scholarship. All students entering the M.S. program are expected to have a background equivalent to that required for the Bachelor of Science degree in Geology at CWU and to have completed a geological field camp for college credit. Applicants must provide Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for the general test. Graduates in chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, or other technical disciplines are also encouraged to apply. Deficiencies in the student's undergraduate training as determined by the Department of Geology at the time of matriculation must be removed without graduate credit during the first year of graduate study. If English is a secondary language, students must score 550 paper-based (213 computer-based) on the TOEFL examination or have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited U.S. university..

Application Deadlines and Supporting Materials: Applications and all supporting materials are due by February 15 for fall quarter entrance. Applications will include a statement of your background and purpose, official transcripts, general Graduate Record Examination scores, and three letters of recommendation.

Program Requirements: The Department offers an M.S. degree that requires a minimum of 45 credits of graduate study including a thesis. Fifty-four credits are earned from course work and research (25 credits at the 500 level or above). Six credits are allowed for thesis (GEOL 700). All graduate students must register for GEOL 501, Current Topics in Geology, and GEOL 504, Graduate Research Seminar, during the fall quarter of their first year, GEOL 502, Regional Geology of the Pacific Northwest, and GEOL 503, Introductory Graduate Research Methods. Candidates must pass a final oral examination on their thesis project and supporting course work, given by a thesis committee consisting of the Thesis Advisor and two other faculty. Normal completion of the Master of Science requires two academic years and an intervening summer of field study. Students may be encouraged to begin field work prior to matriculation.

Areas and Electives in Specialization: Course requirements are tailored to the individual student's academic background, professional goals, and research interests through advising from the graduate faculty and thesis committee chair. The greatest departmental strengths are in active and regional tectonics, seismology, geodesy, geomorphology and Quarternary geology, paleohydrology, environmental geochemistry, and volcanology. The Department is a participating member of the Southern California Earthquake Center, a NSF-sponsored Science and Technology Center. The department houses the data processing center for PANGA, a network of continuously operating GPS receivers distributed throughout the Pacific Northwest in the United States and Canada. In addition, the Department has strong ties with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), administered by Caltech for NASA; the opportunity to participate in JPL programs is a unique feature of the geology program at Central. The department is a participating member of the WinSAR consortium and IRIS.

Central Washington University lies on the Columbia River Basalt plateau, adjacent to the crystalline core and majestic volcanoes of the Cascade Mountains. Seismicity and active volcanism of the Cascadia subduction zone, highly deformed rocks of northern Washington and British Columbia, and a water- and natural-resource based economy in central Washington provide ideal opportunities to study a wide variety of geologic problems.

Equipment and Computer Facilities: The Department of Geological Sciences has excellent research computer facilities. We currently support numerous Sun Microsystems workstations and servers. ERMapper, MatLab, Islandworks, and ArcInfo are available for image processing and analyzing remotely sensed images and DEMs. In addition, the department has access to the Spatial Information Systems Laboratory.

The Geodesy Laboratory houses the data processing center for the Pacific Northwest Geodetic Array (PANGA). The laboratory analyzes continuous data from the permanent GPS array in the Pacific Northwest. The Geodesy Laboratory has a pool of Trimble  receivers for geodetic experiments.

The department is equipped with digital surveying equipment (Leica Total Stations and Trimble kinematic GPS) and recently acquired ground penetrating radar equipment. The department has Nikon and Leica petrographic microscopes, research polarizing reflected and transmitting light microscopes, with CCD-video camera displays.

The department is currently expanding its geochemistry facilities. With National Science Foundation support, the department has sample preparation facilities, a small geochemistry laboratory and an automated Philips PW 3400 Powder X-Ray Diffractometer. Recently, a stable isotope laboratory, equipped with a general purpose extraction line for analysis of waters, carbonates, and soils was added. A modern geochemistry laboratory, equipped for isotonic, major-element, and trace-element analysis of earth materials, will be on line in Fall, 2002.

Graduate Committee: The student must have a three member graduate committee, selected in consultation with the advisor; two members must be from the Department of Geological Sciences.

Examination: Each candidate must pass a final examination on their thesis and course work.

Admission Requirements

In addition to general regulations for admission to Master's programs, students with insufficient preparation who desire admission to programs in history may be required to take additional work before being admitted to graduate programs. Students admitted are required to demonstrate an ability to discover and interpret historical evidence and to write cogently and lucidly.

Master of Arts

The purpose of the program offered by the Department of History is to develop graduates possessing a range of historical knowledge and special competency in a particular area. Students receive systematic training in historical methods, sources, tools, and the interpretation of history. It is a further purpose of the program to train students for lives of productive scholarship and stimulating teaching as well as non-academic pursuits where historical background is required. Finally, in recognition that all students do not have the same objective, the M.A. degree program contains three options designed to suit different objectives. To achieve the purposes of the program students will enroll in research seminars, historiography, reading courses, and lecture courses where needed. The individual's program will be established in consultation with a graduate committee.

Prerequisites

1. Attainment of undergraduate major in history.

2. Attainment of a 3.00 cumulative GPA for undergraduate work and a 3.25 GPA or better in the history major. Applicants with a GPA deficiency may petition the Department of History graduate committee for special consideration.

3. Students whose undergraduate major was in a subject other than history, but who nevertheless wish to complete a history graduate degree, must have completed at least 20 undergraduate, upper division history credits with a GPA of 3.00 or better prior to full admission to the graduate program.

INDIVIDUAL STUDIES PROGRAM

Program Coordinator:
Richard S. Mack, Interim Associate Vice President
Barge 305

Master of Arts

Master of Education

Master of Science

Purpose. The purpose of the Individual Studies (IS) Program is to afford qualified applicants the opportunity to create sound master's degree programs of an interdisciplinary nature or focused on unique subject areas when the curricula of regular graduate degree programs do not meet the individuals' career objectives and/or needs. The approval of such programs is dependent upon:

• the qualifications of the applicant;
• the institution's ability to provide a sufficient number of relevant graduate level courses;
• a sufficient number of faculty qualified and willing to work with the student;
• adequate scholarly and/or creative resources.

CWU will offer IS programs only in fields where appropriate expertise and other resources exist as determined by the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies in consultation with the Graduate Council. Each IS program must be as academically sound as traditional master's degrees programs housed in regular academic departments. Thus, it must demonstrate the quality, breadth, and depth normally associated with master's degrees and must be as intellectually rigorous.

Approved IS programs are administered by an interdisciplinary committee appointed by, and with oversight from, the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies. IS programs may be created under the Master of Arts, Master of Education, and Master of Science degree titles.

Application Process. Anyone contemplating the creation of an IS program should first meet with the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies before initiating the application process to discuss possible program options. The responsibility for creating an acceptable IS rests entirely with the applicant. If admitted, a graduate student in this program is expected to be highly motivated. He or she must work closely with the program advisor(s) and provide the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies with semi-annual program status reports.

An applicant to an IS master's degree program must be able to meet the minimum requirements for admission to graduate study at CWU, including a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average in the last 90 quarter or 60 semester credit hours elected. The applicant must complete and submit a formal application, in accordance with the instructions in the application packet, including a non refundable $35.00 applicant fee. The Graduate Record Examination may be required at the discretion of the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies.

Each applicant is encouraged to apply using the Self-Managed Application process. This will insure efficient and rapid processing of the application. If he or she is unable to use the Self-Managed Application system, he or she may file the application materials separately. The application file must be complete before the Graduate School can act upon it. The applicant must follow all instructions included in the application packet. Materials submitted in support of an application cannot be returned nor will they be released for other purposes.

Program Description. In addition to the documents and materials required for the admissions process, each IS applicant must include a description of the IS program he or she wishes to create. The applicant should include a detailed explanation of the rationale for this program and explain why her or his goals cannot be met by means of pursuing an established master's degree at CWU. The applicant should indicate how the proposed program would meet her or his educational objectives and professional aims.

Learner outcomes are critical to the success of CWU degree programs. As a result, each IS master's candidate is expected to prepare an acceptable goals statement in which anticipated learner outcomes are specified. These will be measured at the completion of the program as a partial means of determining whether each student has met degree requirements.

Program of Study. A comprehensive, proposed course of study is also required. The requisite form for detailing this may be obtained from the Graduate School. A justification for the selection of each election proposed should be included in the course of study. Please note that general graduate school regulations appearing in the CWU catalog must be observed, and all IS programs must include a master's thesis. In the process of designing the curriculum, applicants are expected to consult the publications of universities nation-wide to identify any programs similar in content and design to the one sought. Such information may provide useful information in constructing the program of study.

Number of Credit Hours. For an IS program of study to be approved by the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies, it must include a minimum of 45 quarter hours of graduate level credit, of which at least 25 credits must be numbered 501 or higher. In some cases more than the minimum of 45 credits will be required. The course of study must include 6 credits of 700 (Thesis) and may not normally include more than 10 credits of independent study. Prerequisite courses may also be required.

Graduate Committee. Each applicant seeking an IS program, must propose a Graduate Committee to the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies. Each committee member must be at least an associate member of the graduate faculty and the person whom the applicant wishes to chair the Advisory Committee must be a regular member of the graduate faculty. The applicant must work with these faculty to develop the proposed program of study. The proposed Graduate Committee members will meet with the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies to discuss the applicant's program of study and may be asked to meet with the Graduate Council as well.

All proposed Graduate Committee members are expected to discuss their participation on this committee with their respective department chairs. Department chairs must agree to allowing their faculty members to participate on the IS committee and all proposed committee members must certify their willingness to serve. The committee constitution will be reviewed by the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies in conjunction with the Graduate Council. Following any needed discussions, the Interim Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies, in consultation with the Graduate Council, will determine the applicant's admissibility, along with the viability of the Graduate Committee, and communicate the decision to the applicant as quickly as possible.

Examinations and Assessment. An oral final examination is required on work completed in partial fulfillment of the IS master's degree requirements. This examination must include a defense of the thesis and an examination of studies completed. Some Graduate Committees may also require a written examination as well. The examination process is intended to assure that the student has met the objectives of her or his goal statement and that the learner outcomes have thus been achieved. If the student performs satisfactorily on the examination, the student's committee will write a summary statement of the student's accomplishments and competencies for inclusion in the student's permanent file.

Application Deadlines. The deadlines for submitting all application materials are as follows:
April 1 for Summer and Fall Quarter
October 1 for Winter Quarter
January 1 for Spring Quarter

Applicants must meet these deadlines or risk jeopardizing their admission for the quarter requested.

General Departmental Information

The Industrial and Engineering Technology Department offers a Master of Science Degree in Engineering Technology (MSET) having the specific purpose of broadening the technological background of persons holding Bachelor of Science degrees in the Engineering Technologies (ET), Industrial Technologies (IT), and similar or related degrees. The BS degree programs provide the graduate with hands-on, practical knowledge which can be immediately utilized in industry. However, technology is advancing so rapidly that it is necessary to expose the engineering technologist to some of the latest advances, that is, to update their knowledge base. Corporate downsizing, global market pressures, and rapidly expanding technology require a new type of engineering technologist, one that can function comfortably on a changing career path. This requirement produces the need for the technologist to be a lifelong learner. The tools for life long learning and research are the crux of the MSET program. The MSET program is multidisciplinary, giving the graduate student sufficient choices to fit diverse needs.

Incoming students are expected to meet all of the requirements of the Graduate School, have a solid background in science and mathematics, and show evidence of scholarship. All students entering the MSET program are expected to have a background equivalent to that required for the Bachelor of Science Degree in the Engineering Technologies at CWU. This requires that the candidate have a bachelor's degree from a recognized institution and have at least two quarters of calculus and three quarters of a combination of general physics and chemistry. If English is a secondary language, students must score 550 or more on the TOEFL examination. Deficiencies in the student's undergraduate training as determined by the IET department at the time of matriculation must be removed without graduate credit during the first year of graduate study. Transfer students will be considered using the same criteria, with consideration for equivalent graduate course work completed elsewhere.

Applications and all supporting materials are due by April 1 for fall quarter entrance. Applications will include a statement of background and reason for wishing enrollment into the MSET program, official transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. The applicant must have maintained at least a 3.0 average in all course work attempted during the last 90 quarter hours (60 semester hours) of study.

The IET Department offers a Master's degree that requires a minimum of 45 credit hours of graduate study and a thesis. A total of 30 credit hours of required course work is required of all students. The student is then required to select at least 15 credit hours from a list of technical electives which will then total 45 credit hours. The student must take at least 25 credit hours of course work at the 500 level. Only 9 quarter credit hours may be transferred before being admitted into the masters program. Candidates must pass a final oral examination on their thesis project and supporting course work, given by a thesis committee consisting of the Thesis Advisor and two other faculty. Normal completion of the MSET will require two academic years of full time study. The student that is enrolled on a part time basis will require more than two academic years, the total time required will be a function of course load.

The Master of Music curriculum is designed to provide opportunity for depth in an area of specialization to increase professional competence in teaching and performance, and to prepare for continued self-directed study or advanced graduate study.

Degree Programs. All candidates shall complete at least 45 credits as outlined in an approved Course of Study filed with the Office of Graduate Studies and Research. The major fields are a) composition; b) conducting; c) performance; d) performance-pedagogy; e) music education. At least one-third of the total credit requirements must be in the major field, including 6 credits of thesis; one-third in other music courses, including 3 credits of ensemble and 3 credits of MUS 521 (Methods of Musical Research); and one-third may be elective courses in supportive areas from any discipline. At least 25 credits applied toward the degree must be at the 500 level or above. Students are expected to plan their program with a graduate advisor and committee.

After meeting minimum criteria for admission into a specific Master's degree as identified in item (1) for each major (see pages 3 and 4), candidates must take diagnostic examinations in music history and music theory at the beginning of their first quarter of graduate study. In addition, non-performance majors must also demonstrate a level of musicianship equal to what would be considered appropriate for 300 level study. Students may demonstrate this level of musicianship in several ways, appropriate to the desired degree program or deemed appropriate by the evaluating committee after consultation with the student. Examples include a performance audition in an applied area or conducting (live or taped), a videotape or audiotape of a performance directed by the applicant, or a videotape of a music lesson or class taught by the applicant. Deficiencies in any of the above will be delineated to the student by the faculty along with recommendations for remediation. These recommendations may take the form of, but are not limited to, course work, selected readings, and applied study. It is the candidate's responsibility to demonstrate the successful satisfaction of any deficiency. No Master of Music degree will be awarded until these appraisals have been passed. The Department of Music recommends that the candidate attempt to satisfy these entrance appraisals at the earliest opportunity.

Admission Requirements: - In addition to general regulations for admission to the Master's program, the following requirements apply to the Master of Music Degree:

1. Candidates must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college with a major in music or its equivalent.

2. Acceptance into a specific major field will require an evaluation of a candidate's ability conducted by a committee of three faculty members, two of whom will be from the particular major field. Normally one of these two will serve as the candidate's Graduate Advisor, and the committee as a whole may serve as the candidate's Graduate Committee. Admission into the institution does not assure admission into a music program.

General Departmental Information

The objective of the Master of Science, Organization Development (MSOD) program is to prepare students for improving productivity and quality of work life in a variety of public and private sector organizational settings. The MSOD program is based in the Psychology Department with interdisciplinary connections to the College of Business.

The program is designed for working adults. The program is offered at the main campus in Ellensburg. Most students come from management positions in many types of public and private sector organizations across Washington and the Northwest. Required courses are scheduled across 24 weekends spread over two academic years. A "weekend" is defined as Friday evening, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. In addition to the courses taken during the two academic years, students take a course during the summer, in between the first and second years. Students arrange additional time on campus as required. Students using faculty time, supplies, and/or equipment for research, either during the academic year or during the summer, must be registered for OD 595 or OD 700.

Success in the second year of the MSOD program is dependent on the knowledge and skills gained in the first year MSOD classes. Therefore students need to remove any incompletes they receive in the first year before enrolling in second year courses.

Admission Requirements

In addition to the university's general regulations for admission to Master's programs, admission to the MSOD program will be recommended upon the evaluation of the applicant's prior scholastic record, GRE or GMAT scores, three recommendations from previous instructors or employers, and a statement of professional objectives. An interview is part of the admission process. Since this program is heavily oriented toward the application of theory to practical affairs, most applicants submit a letter of endorsement from an organization willing to sponsor them. The sponsor is asked to participate in the learning process by providing a site for the student to practice course knowledge and skills, and to conduct thesis or project research. This letter is submitted to the Office of Admissions with other application materials.
