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-IIT‘s 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 Institute‘s vision,

mission and objectives.

Specifically, the program aims to provide graduates with knowledge and skills to

enable them to:

1. upgrade their linguistic and discourse competence in English;

2. apply appropriate approaches in teaching English and literature in a bilingual

setting;

15

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

which are responsive to the peculiar needs of their communities.

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; MSU-

Iligan 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.

2. To strengthen the Institute‘s 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.

3. 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.

53

4. 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.

5. To enrich systematic information based on the dynamics of sociocultural,

economic, technological changes in the Southern Philippines through

sociological studies.


1. Holders of a bachelor‘s degree in Sociology or its equivalent from recognized

institution of higher learning may be admitted to the program.

2. Non-holders of bachelor‘s degree in Sociology or its equivalent may be

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-System‘s 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 (IP‘s), 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 master‘s 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

84

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 Tubod‘s state-of-the-art sports facilities as venue of the DPE‘s extension

activities. All these manifest the people‘s 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.

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

136

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

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-IIT‘s 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

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 Mindanao-

Sulu-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.

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 master‘s 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.


1. B.S. in Chemistry (B.S. Chem) degree or other undergraduate degree

provided that the following minimum requirements is satisfied:

Course Units

2. Be a full-time faculty member and currently teaching in a public or private

college or university included in the list of sending institutions.

3. Have no master‘s degree.

4. Have a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or its equivalent in undergraduate

courses in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.

273

5. Have no pending criminal/administrative charges or convicted for violation of

any Philippine Law. Certification must be obtained from appropriate

agencies.

6. Letter of endorsement from the head of the sending institution.

major chemistry courses attesting to the student‘s intellectual capacity for graduate studies.

Degree Requirements

1. Courses: Must have successfully completed at least 35 units of the course work

(including 3 units of Special Project) specified in his/her program of study.

2. GPA: A student enrolled in the Master in Chemistry Program must obtain an overall

Grade Point Average (GPA) Grade of 2.0 or better after each semester for all 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.

3. Comprehensive Examination: Must have passed a comprehensive examination in

her/his chosen area of specialization.

4. Presentation: The student must have successfully presented his/her Master‘s Project in

public.

List of Courses by Semester

This two-year program of Master in Chemistry usually starts in summer.

The student undertakes a full time schooling during summer, carrying a 9-unit

load. During 2 regular semesters, the student carries a 6-unit load, but on the

second semester of year 1 and 2, the student carries a 4 unit load which includes

the comprehensive examination and presentation of the special project in a

seminar, respectively.

Introduction

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. Recently, 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 Program in Chemistry and Master of Science in

Chemistry, in addition to its specific tasks of undertaking basic, applied, and mission-

oriented researches.

The graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry

aims to increase knowledge and competence in research and teaching in the various fields

of chemistry. The areas of specialization include Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, Physical,

Environmental, and Biochemistry.

Objectives

1. To increase the absolute and relative numbers of highly trained manpower in

chemistry research especially for the Mindanao and Visayas regions.

2. To upgrade college and university chemistry teaching in content and in

methodology.

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

analytical and quality control laboratories.

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.

298

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 ―Q‖s) 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. Comprehensive Examination: Must have passed a comprehensive examination in


5. Defense: Must have successfully defended his/her M.S. Thesis.

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

316

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

Bachelor‘s 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. To provide training in Mathematics concepts for high school or tertiary teaching

up to the level of calculus;

2. 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;

2. an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.0;

3. Two letters of recommendation from two former professors attesting to the

applicant‘s intellectual capacity for advance studies; and

4. 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. Must undergo an evaluation test in Advanced Calculus, Algebraic Structures,

Finite Mathematics or their equivalents.

2. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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. Provide an accessible venue for higher Mathematics education;

2. Improve Mathematics education in the country;

3. 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. 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;

2. His weighted average grade (GPA) in all graduate math courses must be 1.75 or

better;

3. He must submit two (2) letters of recommendation from former graduate math

professors; 4. 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. Develop more experts in teaching mathematics courses in all levels;

2. Increase the number of doctoral students at no additional cost; and 3. 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

389

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 Philippine‘s 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 master‘s 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 bachelor‘s 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

applicant‘s 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.

413


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.

Required Courses

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

414

(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 Master‘s 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

Master‘s program (not Master of Science) if their preparation is weak as

determined by the admissions committee through exam and/or interview.


Students enrolled in Master‘s 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

415

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. Today‘s 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 librarian‘s 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.

450

Objectives

Courses in this program are designed:

1. to equip students for professional post in information management,

customized library operations and in cognate fields;

2. to enable students to gain understanding of the flow of information and

methods of managing organizational knowledge, especially gaining

techniques of accessing information; and

3. to produce graduates updated in current information and information

technology with the ability to identify, analyze and evaluate the information

needs of different groups and make informed decisions to satisfy them.


1. At least three (3) units in logic and algorithms, and three (3) units in basic

computer course

2. Six (6) units in basic library science courses

3. Undergraduate GPA of at least 2.0

Retention Policies

1. A student must maintain a grade point average of 2.0 per semester.

Otherwise, his status during the succeeding semester will be probationary,

subject to the improvement of his GPA.

2. The maximum residence requirement is five (5) years to be reckoned from

the students‘ initial enrollment

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 country‘s 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 master‘s 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.

463

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

society‘s 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;

3. 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

4. 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.
