Although the school since Jan. of 1968 has been authorized to grant Master of Science in teaching degrees for this subject, the Board of Regents of state universities and Coordinating Council for Higher Education have approved expansion in the program so graduated can be formally recognized for positions in addition to teaching. Full accreditation of the new offering is expected this spring.
