PROFESSOR JOHN P. VANDEN HEUVEL, Program Coordinator
Toxicology addresses adverse effects of chemicals on animals and humans and includes exposure assessment, hazard identification, dose-response analysis, and risk characterization. This discipline relies on cutting-edge biotechnological approaches to gain insight into drug and toxicant action at the molecular level. Students enrolled in the Toxicology program will develop an understanding of the principles by which chemicals affect the health of humans and animals either adversely, as toxic agents, or beneficially, as therapeutic agents. Students will learn about: 1) mechanisms of action of drugs and toxicants on organ systems of the body; 2) general principles for assessing the safety of chemicals and therapeutic efficacy of drugs; and 3) state-of-the-art molecular, biological, and genetic approaches to understanding drugs, toxicants, and disease through a combination of laboratory and lecture experiences. The B.S. degree in Toxicology provides a strong foundation for graduate work leading to a Ph.D. in most biomedical fields. Students may choose to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology, Toxicology, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pathobiology, Oncology, or Molecular Biology. Alternatively, students prepare for employment as research technicians, drug/toxicant specialists, or pharmaceutical sales representatives.
For the B.S. degree in Toxicology, a minimum of 124 credits is required.

The accounting minor requires students to complete 16 additional credits in accounting beyond the 4 credits required in ACCTG 211. It is designed to introduce students to advanced topics in financial and cost accounting, as well to the basics of income tax accounting for individuals. This minor can provide an enhanced understanding of accounting information flows, costing systems, and the general tax environment to students majoring in other business areas, and it is a particularly good compliment to the finance and management information systems majors. On its own, it will not generally enable students to meet the requirements for professional licensing in accounting. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR BETTY FORTNER, Elementary Education Coordinator, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education
The Elementary Education program is characterized by its humanistic approach to teaching. The program offers extensive field experiences in the junior and senior years prior to student teaching and emphasizes the problems of urban teachers. An objective of the program is the development of self-awareness and independence in students, which can free them from the typical dependent relationships with instructors. Thus, a student is expected to exhibit initiative and self-direction toward professional goals and demonstrate professional behavior in contacts with school personnel.
Prior to the full-time student teaching experience in the senior year, students are expected to complete all other courses required for certification, including two part-time placements. On-campus courses are scheduled three or four days a week, while field experiences in nearby schools are scheduled part-time, three or four days per week.
For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education, a minimum of 127 credits is required.
For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education with Early Childhood Education Certification, a minimum of 136 credits is required.
Admission Requirements:
Applicants should have completed most of their first two years of college as
well as the Entry to Major Requirements listed above with at least a 3.0 cumulative
GPA (4.0 scale). The evaluation of prior college work is done on an individual
basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at Penn State Harrisburg.
Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Elementary Education major or the Elementary Education major with
Early Childhood Certification requires the completion of 57 or more credits
in required courses and the state's minimum cumulative GPA criteria of 3.0.
Students must complete, with a grade of "C" or better, six (6) credits
of college-level mathematics (MATH or STAT prefix), three (3) credits of college-level
English literature and three (3) credits of college-level English composition.
Students thinking seriously about education should plan their freshman and sophomore
years carefully. Semesters 5 through 8 are very structured. (See also Teacher
Education Programs.)
Selective Retention:
Prior to the end of the first semester as an Elementary Education major
at Penn State Harrisburg, students will be required to submit their scores for
the Praxis I examinations in reading, writing, and mathematics. Retention in
the major is contingent on the student's maintaining a cumulative GPA of
3.0 or higher, demonstrating proficiency in written and spoken communications,
receiving the recommendation of the faculty, and fulfilling all core course
requirements.

The following teaching options are available for majors in World Languages Education: Bilingual Education, English as a Second Language, French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. Pennsylvania does not issue a teacher certificate in Bilingual Education; many other states do. Completers of the English as a Second Language (ESL) option may qualify for the Pennsylvania Program Specialist: ESL credential if they hold a Pennsylvania teacher certificate.
For the B.S. degree in World Languages Education with a dual certification option in Bilingual Education Teaching, a minimum of 135 credits is required; with an option in English as a Second Language (ESL) Teaching, a minimum of 132 credits is required, i.e., a minimum of 120 credits for the companion World Languages Education Teaching option selected, plus 12 credits to meet eligibility for the Program Specialist: ESL credential; with an option in French Teaching, a minimum of 124 credits is required; with an option in German Teaching, a minimum of 121 credits is required; with an option in Latin Teaching, a minimum of 120 credits is required; with an option in Russian Teaching, a minimum of 122 credits is required; with an option in Spanish Teaching, a minimum of 126 credits is required. (See also Teacher Education Programs.)
BILINGUAL EDUCATION TEACHING OPTION: Although Pennsylvania does not issue a teacher certificate in Bilingual Education, other states do. Thus, completion of this option as well as any tests or requirements stipulated by the pertinent state department of education (other than Pennsylvania) should lead to a teacher certificate in Bilingual Education. In addition to the Common Requirements of the World Languages Education major, candidates select one of the language emphases, i.e., French, German, Latin, Russian, or Spanish, complete the courses associated with that emphasis and also the Common Requirements for all Emphases. Consequently, candidates also become eligible for teacher certification in the language selected as their language emphasis. Further, completers of this B.S. degree and option may also become eligible for the English as a Second Language (ESL) credential by completing six additional credits, i.e., APLNG 410 or APLNG 484, and APLNG 493.
Candidates are expected to have taken their choice of language coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in FR 201, or GER 201, or LATIN 400, or RUS 204, or SPAN 200. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in the chosen language each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) TEACHING OPTION: This option will lead to a baccalaureate degree only in conjunction with one of the other companion World Language Education Teaching options.
The ESL Teaching option is a joint offering of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education and the Department of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies in the College of the Liberal Arts. Miryam Espinosa-Dulanto, Assistant Professor of Education and Applied Linguistics, and Joan Kelly Hall, Professor of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies and Education, are co-directors of the program.
This option prepares candidates for advanced work in ESL and for the Pennsylvania teacher credential Program Specialist: English as a Second Language (ESL). However, the Pennsylvania Department of Education only issues the Program Specialist: ESL credential to holders of Pennsylvania Instructional I or II certificates. Thus, completers of another World Languages Education Teaching option may first seek the Pennsylvania Instructional certificate in that language and may then add the Program Specialist: ESL credential, subsequently.
FRENCH TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in French. Candidates are expected to have taken French coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in FR 201. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in French each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
GERMAN TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in German. Candidates are expected to have taken German coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in GER 200. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in German each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
LATIN TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in Latin. Candidates are expected to have taken Latin coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in LATIN 400. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in Latin each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is highly recommended, typically during semester six.
RUSSIAN TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in Russian. Candidates are expected to have taken Russian coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in RUS 204. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in Russian each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
SPANISH TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in Spanish. Candidates are expected to have taken Spanish coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in SPAN 200. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in Spanish each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.

University Park, College of Health and Human Development
PROFESSOR SARA J. PARKS, in charge
Through this program, students can prepare for supervisory and administrative positions in public or private agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. These include, but are not limited to, park systems, environmental centers, resorts, university intramural and sport club programs, event management businesses, recreation services for the armed forces, and therapeutic recreation programs in hospitals and health care facilities. Four options are offered: (1) Commercial and Community Recreation Management, (2) Golf Management, (3) Outdoor Recreation, and (4) Therapeutic Recreation.
Students who have completed 28 credits with a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average are eligible for entrance into the major after filing a written application. First-year students are admitted directly into the Golf Management option at the University Park campus only. In addition to the University's academic requirements, each student admitted to the Golf Management option must have a playing proficiency represented by a minimum golf handicap of 12 or lower. This must be certified in writing by a PGA member or golf coach.
COMMERCIAL AND COMMUNITY RECREATION MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option focuses on management in the private/commercial, non-profit, and public sectors of recreation/leisure services. The private/commercial focus will be of interest to students seeking careers in a variety of commercial settings such as resorts; theme parks, convention centers; sports and fitness facilities, including arenas and stadiums; tourism promotion/planning agencies; and employee recreation departments within corporations. This focus will also appeal to students wishing to become entrepreneurs. For those interested in the community, public, or non-profit sectors, this option prepares students for positions within municipal, state, and federal government agencies; recreation divisions of the armed services; YMCA agencies; United Way agencies; scouting organizations; university-affiliated units such as student unions, intramural and alumni services; and other non-profit organizations.
GOLF MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option helps prepare students to manage golf facilities within the municipal, military, public, and private sectors. In addition to the core curriculum in Recreation, Park and Tourism Management, this option includes a strong basic education in business coupled with course work in turf management and hospitality. Each student completes sixteen months of Co-op education under the supervision of a Class A member of the Professional Golfers' Association of America.
OUTDOOR RECREATION OPTION: This option helps prepare students for careers in environmental interpretation, adventure-based programming, or facilities and resource management. One track focuses upon natural and cultural history interpretation, including environmental education. Another track emphasizes adventure-based program leadership, including team-building facilitation. The third track focuses on the management of park and recreation facilities and resources. The outdoor recreation option would be of interest to students seeking employment in a variety of recreation and park venues (local, state, and national) offering outdoor activities to the public.
THERAPEUTIC RECREATION OPTION: This option helps prepare individuals to provide comprehensive therapeutic recreation services. These services are intended to facilitate the development of a satisfying leisure life-style for individuals of all ages experiencing limitations through disability, illness, or restricted social conditions. It will be of interest to students seeking employment in health and human service agencies, including rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and a variety of treatment, residential, and community-based facilities.
For the B.S. degree in Recreation, Park and Tourism Management, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

Intercollege Program
PROFESSOR CONSTANCE A. FLANAGAN and PROFESSOR JEFFREY PARKER, Co-chairs, Civic and Community Engagement Committee
Administered by a program faculty drawn from across the University, the Intercollege Minor in Civic and Community Engagement is appropriate to undergraduate students seeking to apply domains of knowledge from their majors or General Education programs to issues of consequence beyond the classroom in a manner that integrates academic and creative development with democratic principles of contribution to the community and nation. In particular, the minor serves to encourage, recognize, and systematize student participation in public service or problem-based fieldwork and research that:
Specifically, the minor consists of a balanced program of fieldwork experience and supporting coursework that is selected with the advice and consent of a minor adviser and approved on behalf of the minor by a program faculty. Fieldwork experiences are selected from a list of eligible courses (or approved comparable alternatives), and supporting coursework includes a conceptual foundations course that provides students with a critical orientation to contemporary issues and themes in public scholarship. The minor culminates with an approved capstone project, which may be a significant paper, or annotated portfolio, or other demonstration of substantial reflection upon and integration of the minor experience and the broader issue of application of academic theory and practice in the civic community.
The Civic and Community Engagement Minor Committee is authorized to award a minor certificate to any undergraduate who, in addition to satisfying the degree requirements of his or her baccalaureate major, satisfies the requirements for the Civic and Community Engagement Minor. The completion of the minor is reflected by a formal notation of the student's official record at the time of graduation. To enter the program, a student must submit an application to the committee. Applicants to the minor in Civic and Community Engagement:
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

The Jewish Studies major addresses the culture, history, literature, philosophy, language, and religious beliefs of the Jewish people across the thousands of years from Biblical times to the present. All students in the major must complete Jewish Studies 010, an introduction to Jewish Civilization, and select from approved lists four courses that are concerned with Jewish studies across its chronological and geographical expanse. Students in the major select one of two options. The Culture and Language option is intended to provide the opportunity for an integrated course of study leading to a second baccalaureate major. This option is recommended for students planning further academic work in Jewish Studies or professional study in a related field. It requires study of Hebrew at the 400 level, and additional language study is encouraged. The Interdisciplinary option is for students who have enrolled in Jewish Studies as a secondary major. This option is recommended for students planning specialized careers within such fields as communications, social service, politics, medicine, education, or law where a knowledge of Jewish history, traditions, and institutions would be important. All students in the major are particularly encouraged to participate in a relevant internship, education abroad program, or archaeological fieldwork. Penn State students also may enroll to study abroad at a university in Israel, and up to 15 credits of related education abroad courses may be applied to requirements for the major in consultation with the adviser.
For the B.A. degree in Jewish Studies, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

Graduate programs emphasize agricultural or extension education (including preparation for employment in college or university programs), youth and family programming, state-level administration, local-level administration, private industry and international education. A minor may be taken in an area of the student's choice or in general studies. Programs may include courses needed for certification in other fields of education.
All applicants must submit a letter of application, two or three typewritten pages in length, describing their professional experience, education, career goals, and reasons for pursuing the degree. Applicants must ensure that three departmental recommendation and evaluation forms from individuals knowledgeable about the applicant are forwarded to the department. Only the most qualified applicants will be admitted to the graduate program. The graduate program may provisionally admit selected applicants pending resolution of the requirements listed here or applicants with special skills and experiences. Requirements listed here are in addition to the general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin
Prerequisite for admission to a master's program is a demonstrated professional
interest in agricultural and extension education and/or applied youth and
family education. Applicants whose junior-senior grade-point average (GPA)
is under 3.00 on a 4.00 scale for their baccalaureate degree are required
to submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.
Master of science: This program is intended
for those who are interested in defining, developing, or evaluating educational
programs, both formal or nonformal, through public and private agencies and
organizations serving youth, families or the agriculture community.
Master of education: Prerequisite
for admission to this program is a minimum of 18 credits in pro-fessional
education courses (including educational psychology and teaching and/or professional
internship) or certification as a teacher of agriculture, or equivalent professional
experience, including extension.
An applicant should have a minimum average of 3.40 on a 4.00 scale on all previous graduate work or a minimum combined score of 1000 on the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE. Two years of appropriate professional experience is required either prior to admission or before the degree is awarded. An interview with the graduate faculty is recommended of all applicants prior to admission into a doctoral program. Applicants to the doctoral program must submit evidence of ability to write a scholarly paper or thesis and demonstrate a teaching-level competence of English.
A program of study agreement between adviser and student, including planned course work (approved by the student's committee) and time frame, should be completed before beginning the second semester of study. Successful performance on a four-hour written essay exam, plus a one-hour oral exam, is required of all M.S. and M.Ed. candidates near the completion of their course work for the degree. The master's candidate is required to successfully complete an oral defense of a paper or thesis.
Two years of appropriate professional experience is required either prior to admission or before the doctoral degree is completed.
Selection and appointment of a thesis adviser and doctoral committee follows admission to candidacy. The candidate consults the department head or graduate officer in selecting an adviser. The candidate, in cooperation with an adviser, selects the doctoral committee. The chair of the committee is not necessarily the thesis adviser, but the thesis adviser is a member of the committee.
Graduate assistantships and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Graduate courses carry numbers from 500 to 599. Advanced undergraduate courses numbered between 400 and 499 may be used to meet some graduate degree requirements when taken by graduate students. Courses below the 400 level may not. A graduate student may register for or audit these courses in order to make up deficiencies or to fill in gaps in previous education but not to meet requirements for an advanced degree.

The College Student Affairs program provides graduate instruction for students preparing to enter the student affairs profession on college and university campuses. Students will choose one of the two curricular options: Administration & Leadership or College Counseling. Coursework for both areas includes foundational studies as well as professional studies in the areas of student development theory, student characteristics and effects of college on students, individual and group interventions, organization and administration of student affairs, and assessment, evaluation, and research. Both emphasis areas provide intentional opportunities for students to enhance their professional skills through internships in student affairs administrative and/or college counseling offices.
Admission Requirements
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) combined verbal and quantitative scores or Miller Analogies Test (MAT) score are required, as are TOEFL scores, if applicable. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
An applicant must have received, from an accredited institution, a baccalaureate degree earned under residence and credit conditions substantially equivalent to those required by Penn State. The individual's junior-senior grade-point average must be at least 3.0 on a 4.0 system. The individual's overall grade-point average must be at least 2.75 on a 4.0 system. Individuals who do not meet this requirement may request special consideration by submitting a letter indicating why they feel they deserve consideration.

Degree Conferred: M.S.
Operating under the auspices of the School of Business Administration, Penn State Harrisburg's master's degree program in information systems is designed to meet the rapidly increasing need for technically grounded, upper-level information resources managers within business organizations. With the exception of a small percentage of students who are full-time, the students served by the MS/IS program are employees of area businesses, state and local governments, and not-for-profit organizations who study on a part-time basis. In order to accommodate both full- and part-time students, courses are primarily offered in the evening.
The two-fold nature of the program requires a manager to have competence both in information technology and in management theory; therefore, the curriculum combines the highly technical content of information science with the managerial emphasis of information systems. Unlike computer science programs, which tend to focus on computer hardware and architecture, this program is organized around applied computer-based activities, the development of communication skills, and managerial principles.
Students may elect to take one of two options in the program: Information Systems in Health Care Management and Delivery, or Information Systems in the Life Sciences. Each of these options requires a total of 36 credits. Alternatively, students can earn the degree without notation of an option; the total credits required for the degree under this choice are 30 credits.
Admission Requirements
Those wishing to apply to the program must hold a baccalaureate degree in any
field from an accredited, college-level institution. Students who apply for
the option in Life Sciences must hold a baccalaureate degree in life sciences
or a related field from an accredited college-level institution. Decisions are
based primarily on undergraduate junior-senior grade-point average and the Graduate
Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores. Post-baccalaureate coursework, professional
experience, and the statements provided in the application are also taken into
account.
Students are also required to submit the following:
All international applicants whose first language is not English or who have not received baccalaureate or master's degrees from an institution in which the language of instruction is English must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language: www.toefl.org) and submit the results of that test with the application for admission. A TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based test) or 213 (computer-based test) or higher is required for admission.
International Deadlines:
Fall - April 15
Spring - August 15
Summer - January 15
Entrance into the Program
Candidates may enter the program at the beginning of the fall, spring, or summer session. To allow time for applications to be processed, all information, including GMAT score, must be received by Enrollment Services no later than July 18 for admission to the fall semester, November 18 for admission to the spring semester, and April 18 for admission to the summer session.
Mathematics Requirement: Prior to enrolling in their MS/IS coursework, students are required to demonstrate competence in quantitative skills. This may be demonstrated by: (1) satisfactory completion of a college-level calculus course such as QUANT 310 Mathematical Methods in the Social and Managerial Sciences or (2) successful completion of a mathematics proficiency examination approved by the MS/IS program. This requirement must be taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of C or better.
Credit by Examination: Interested students should obtain a Credit by Examination form from Enrollment Services and should consult with mathematics faculty in the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology to schedule the exam and obtain a list of suggested preparatory materials.
Computer Requirement: Students are required to demonstrate competence through a college-level microcomputer applications course within the past six years (and passed with at least a B grade) or significant work experience. If this requirement has not been met, a college-level microcomputer course such as CMPSC 203--Microcomputers in Business--is required. Coursework must be taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of B or better.
Proficiency in Writing: The MS/IS program requires the ability to think clearly and write effectively. If a score of 4 or more on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) is not achieved, then the student will need to satisfy this requirement through an English workshop, ENLSH 5013 (non-credit), work in college-level English and/or other remedial work taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of B or better.
Although students in the MS/IS program are not required to have prior coursework in business administration for admission, given that each student will interact within the business community, he/she needs to be familiar with a number of business-related topics. The ability to understand financial accounting and how people relate to others in various organizations helps to merge two related disciplines: business and information systems. Business statistics, the other core prerequisite, provide skills necessary to the comprehension of the literature in the field.
These requirements may be satisfied by prior undergraduate or graduate coursework completed with a grade of B or better within seven years prior to admission, or graduate work completed after admission, or college-level coursework validated by recent work experience. Coursework not meeting these tests of relevancy, grade, or currency, must be taken at the graduate level and early in Program. Students choosing an option in life sciences are required to have a baccalaureate degree in a life sciences field.
Graduate Business Core Courses Offered at Penn State Harrisburg:
ACCT 501. Financial Statement Analysis
BUS 501. Statistical Analysis for Business Decisions
MNGMT 510. Organizational Behavior
Transfer Credits
Up to 10 transfer credits may be applied toward the degree. These courses must have been taken within the past five years, appear on a graduate transcript, and have been passed with a B grade or better. It must be the opinion of the reviewing faculty that these courses are equivalent in quality to those offered at Penn State Harrisburg. Credit will not be given for any class used to complete a previous degree.
Course Waivers
Waivers are given for prerequisite courses and are based on undergraduate coursework or credits earned in an equivalent graduate level program at a regionally accredited, college-level institution. These courses are waived without replacement according to the guidelines stated above. Students will be informed of this in a letter received from the program office.
Course Substitutions
Except for INFSY 554, which must be taken at the College, INFSY prescribed and additional courses, in cases where there is equivalent knowledge, must be replaced with more advanced courses in the same field. Substitutions are based on a minimum of six credits of advanced undergraduate coursework in an area of concentration or credits earned in an equivalent graduate-level program at an accredited, college-level institution. These courses must have been completed within the past five years and have earned a grade of B or better. Required courses must be replaced with other advanced graduate courses in the field for which the replaced course is the foundation/prerequisite. Additional courses in the program should be replaced with other courses in this category. Substitutions are based on past academic performance. An examination cannot be used for earned graduate course credit.
Graduation Requirements
The MS/IS program requires, excluding prerequisite requirements, 30-36 credits of coursework at the graduate level (500-level or higher). Options require 36 credits.
These are distributed over three groups of courses: Prescribed Courses, Additional Courses, and Electives.

Harrisburg MS/IS program prior to matriculation in The Dickinson School of
Law or at another graduate-level institution may be applied to the MS/IS in
accordance with the transfer policies of the Graduate School.
For those students meeting the prerequisite course
requirements of the MS/IS program, 30 credits are required. Nine credits of
course work at The Dickinson School of Law may be transferred toward the MS/IS,
subject to the approval of the MS/IS program. Students must obtain a grade
satisfactory to the MS/IS program in order for the credits to be transferable.
Nine credits for MS/IS program courses may be transferred
for credit toward the J.D. degree at The Dickinson School of Law, subject
to the approval of the School of Law.
Graduate courses carry numbers from 500 to 599. Advanced undergraduate courses numbered between 400 and 499 may be used to meet some graduate degree requirements when taken by graduate students. Courses below the 400 level may not. A graduate student may register for or audit these courses in order to make up deficiencies or to fill in gaps in previous education but not to meet requirements for an advanced degree.

The master of engineering (M.Eng.) degree program in Manufacturing Systems Engineering is a professionally oriented graduate engineering program designed to enhance the technical and business capabilities of its graduates.
Five core courses focus on the structure and operation of a manufacturing
business; the development of the skills required to identify newly emerging
process and systems technologies; and the managed integration of these technologies
into today's modern manufacturing environment. In addition, emphasis is directed
toward reinforcing the latest quality practices currently being adopted by U.S.
manufacturers. Courses emphasize practical concerns as well as relevant theoretical
background. The program meets the needs of diverse manufacturing enterprises
through the selection of elective courses, including a master's project focusing
on the practical application of advanced technology into local industry.
The program is designed to meet the needs of working professionals in the tri-state
region. To this end, classes are offered during a late afternoon/evening timeframe,
allowing students to attend on a part-time basis. Part-time students can complete
the program in three years, with full-time students finishing in less than two
years.

Through this graduate program, students will engage in a comprehensive program of study that will (1) prepare them to develop, implement, and evaluate educational programs in community settings; (2) provide them with an awareness and understanding of relevant research in youth and family education, and (3) develop their abilities to apply research and problem-solving strategies to increase professional effectiveness. The curriculum helps students prepare to assume leadership roles in education and human service organizations whose goals are to support and enhance the well-being of youth and families within community settings.
Applicants whose junior-senior grade-point average (GPA) is under 3.00 on a 4.00 scale for their baccalaureate degree are required to submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. This program is tailored to students with baccalaureate degrees in family and consumer science, youth development, or other disciplines closely related to the human sciences.
A program of study agreement between adviser and student, including planned course work (approved by the student’s committee) and time frame, should be completed before beginning the second semester of study. Successful performance on a four-hour written essay exam, plus a one-hour oral exam, is required of all candidates near the completion of their course work for the degree. The master’s candidate is required to successfully complete an oral defense of paper or thesis. The graduate program is organized around the following themes: youth and family education, community-based education, and research. Students have the flexibility to focus their programs in areas of professional interest within youth and family education.
Graduate assistantships available to students in this program and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin

Project management is increasingly used by organizations to enhance operations, expand markets and opportunities, and streamline and make the internal organization more efficient. The curriculum of this certificate emphasizes all aspects of project management theory and practice. Instructional methods include problem-based learning as well as a combination of face-to-face and Web-based interaction. Students complete eight courses (24 credits) in which they are required to apply course concepts to project management situations. The key themes of the curriculum include: planning, cost, and value management; project control; human issues in project management; strategic issues in project management; and commercial and procurement law as it relates to project management. Delivery via the World Campus allows working business professionals geographically dispersed throughout North America to complete the program without relocating or traveling to campus on a regular basis.
Admission Requirements
Candidates for this certificate program must have been previously admitted to
degree status for the Master of Project Management (M P M) program. Admission
to the M P M is granted only to candidates who demonstrate high promise of success
for graduate work. All applicants must have received, from an accredited institution,
a baccalaureate degree earned under residence and credit conditions that are
deemed substantially equivalent to those currently required by Penn State. Admission
decisions are based on undergraduate grade-point average, Graduate Management
Admission Test (GMAT) scores, a personal essay, and letters of recommendation
or nomination from the applicant's employing organization.
An applicant's GMAT score plus undergraduate grade-point average (multiplied by 200) must total at least 1,000 in order to meet minimum requirements for admission to the M P M program. Either the applicant's cumulative undergraduate grade-point average or the junior/senior grade point average can be used for this calculation. For example: 2.5 (grade-point average) x 200 = 500 + 500 (GMAT score) = 1,000. A minimum GMAT score of 400 is required.
Program coursework emphasizes application of course concepts to actual project management opportunities and problems. Therefore, students who currently are, or previously were, employed as project managers or project team members will derive the greatest benefit from the program.
All applicants must provide evidence of sufficient current or previous work experience that will enable them to successfully complete course assignments requiring the application of course concepts to real project management situations. This evidence may be provided either in the form of three letters of recommendation from individuals who know the applicant in a professional capacity or through nomination to participate in the program by an appropriate official within the applicant's employing organization. Those who write letters of recommendation or submit nominations on behalf of the candidate will be asked to attest to the nominee's suitability for the program of study considering factors such as the applicant's length of employment, level and areas of work responsibility, personal qualities, career goals, maturity of purpose, and program requirements to apply course concepts to work-related issues. Applicants are encouraged to consult with the program chair concerning the suitability of their work experiences in relationship to program requirements.
Applicants whose first language is not English or who have not received baccalaureate or master's degrees from an institution in which the language of instruction is English, must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). International students must demonstrate a score of 550 (paper-based exam) or 213 (computer-based exam) on the TOEFL.
All students must be computer literate and have ready and reliable access to a computer and the Internet. They must know how to use word processing software, log onto an Internet provider, and use e-mail. Additionally, M P M students will use Microsoft Office in their coursework that will require that they have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. Access to fax facilities may be needed as an additional form of communications between student and instructor, or between students.
