APPENDIX A
UNDERGRADUATE
College of Agricultural Sciences
31-05-001 Change name of major from Agroecosystems Science to Agroecology.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2003
University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences
The coordinator position will rotate between faculty members in the Departments of Crop and Soil Sciences, Entomology, Horticulture, and Plant Pathology
Agroecology is concerned with the principles and practices applicable to the management of plant agroecosystems. There are two options: Integrated Crop Management (ICM) or Plant Science. Education in the Integrated Crop Management option emphasizes the principles of plant and soil management and the basic sciences upon which these principles are based. The Plant Science option requires additional emphasis in the basic sciences (mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biotechnology). The opportunity is available in either option to specialize in agronomy with emphasis on agronomic crops and conservation of soils; or horticulture with emphasis on horticultural crops; or entomology with emphasis on insects and their impact on the ecosystem; or plant pathology with emphasis on plant diseases. Students must develop, communicate, and apply technical information about plants, soils, environment, and production practices for food, feed, fiber, or ornamental crops. Business management skills can be developed by appropriate course selection in the ICM option.
Graduates in Agroecology have a wide choice of careers. Over 90% get jobs in service to the agricultural industry as farm managers, farm chemical and fertilizer store managers, sales representatives, field and laboratory technicians, crop management consultants, extension agents, soil and water conservationists and inspectors for various state and federal regulatory agencies. Some may return to the farm and become producers of farm products.
Those students who anticipate enrollment in graduate school should elect the Plant Science option while those preparing to enter the profession with a B.S. degree should select the Integrated Crop Management option.
For the B.S. degree in Agroecology, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2003
Commonwealth College: Penn State Beaver, Penn State Delaware County, Penn State McKeesport, Penn State New Kensington
COMMUNICATIONS
With the rapid development of digital technologies over the last decade, the
field of communications has seen unprecedented growth and convergence of medium
in media both technologically and structurally. The communications degree program
addresses strongly articulated employer requirements for the workplace through
an integrated program model. The degree provides the basic theoretical foundations
of the discipline, allows for appropriate branching outside the traditional
curriculum, and permits a drawing from appropriate courses in the disciplines
of information sciences and technology, communications, arts and sciences, English
and business.
The degree in communications provides two options for students who wish to develop their written and verbal skills in an effort to gain professional employment in such fields as public relations, publishing, speech writing, video and multimedia, production, and/or journalism.
CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS OPTION: In extending traditional organizational communication and public relations to the digital age, this option prepares public relations specialists to compete in a global society. The program is also effective as preparation for e-commerce.
JOURNALISM OPTION: In today's workplace, journalism graduates are required
to regularly engage rapidly converging media in their work. This option offers
graduates a competitive advantage by complementing traditional options (newspaper,
magazine, radio, TV) with convergent coursework designed to prepare students
for professional journalism in the digital age.
For a B.A. degree in Communications a minimum of 121 credits are required.

PROFESSOR MARK S. KLIMA, Undergraduate Program Officer
The Environmental Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). It is an interdisciplinary program concerned with the impact of industrial activities on the environment and the choice of cost-effective remediation strategies. The program is unique as it is designed to address critical environmental problems of the basic industries such as those involved in the extraction, conversion, and utilization of energy and mineral resources. The courses are sequenced so that students acquire an appropriate blend of theory, applications, and design and are equipped with the fundamentals necessary to maintain lifelong professional growth. Graduates are prepared to enter both the private and public sectors as environmental systems engineers or to pursue further education at the graduate level.
During the first two years, the program shares many common features (e.g., mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering mechanics) with other more traditional engineering disciplines. Students then take a series of special courses that introduce engineering concepts in the extractive and process industries. Process engineering and a variety of solid-solid, solid-fluid, and fluid-fluid separations play a major and often dominant role in the prevention and/or remediation of environmental damage resulting from industrial activity. Students then specialize in the particular problems associated with air, land, or water or select a hybrid program. Specialization is accomplished through a combination of additional designated courses and selection from an extensive list of relevant elective courses, which may include a senior thesis. The curriculum is structured so as to integrate design concepts into the various subject areas covered in the program.
The human, societal, economic, ethical, and regulatory aspects of the industrial impact on the environment are addressed through a combination of specific courses and components of other more general courses. This aspect of the program is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding, both of the impact of environmental degradation on society and of the effects on industrial activity of society's demands for protection of the environment. The program culminates with the capstone design course, which is an integrated, problem-based, multi-faceted project in which students, working in a team setting, utilize fundamental concepts to design an environmental remediation system.
The integration of knowledge and skills acquired during the course of study
enables graduates of Penn State's Environmental Systems Engineering program
to:
For the B.S. degree in Environmental Systems Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

31-05-138 Add Integrated B.S in Statistics and Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S.) program.
Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2003
The Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) degree with B.S. in Statistics and Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S.) is designed to be completed in five years. This integrated degree will enable a select number of highly qualified and career-oriented students to obtain training in statistics focused on developing data analysis skills and exploration of core areas of applied statistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The M.A.S. degree is a professional master's degree that emphasizes applications and does not provide as much training in the mathematical and statistical theory. The degree prepares students with interests in mathematics, computation, and the quantitative aspects of science for careers in industry and government as statistical analyst. Research divisions in the pharmaceutical industry, quality control and quality engineering divisions in manufacturing companies, clinical research units, corporate planning and research units, and other data-intensive positions require persons with training in mathematics, computation, database management, and statistical analysis, which this program will provide.
Application Process
The number of openings in the integrated B.S./M.A.S. program is limited. Admission will be based on specific criteria and the recommendation of faculty. Applicants to the integrated program:
For the IUG B.S./M.A.S. degree, 120 credits are required for the B.S. and 30 credits for the M.A.S. The following twelve graduate-level credits (number of credits in parentheses) can apply to both B.S. and M.A.S. degrees, six of these are at the 500 level:
STAT 414 (3) Introduction to Probability Theory
STAT 415 (3) Introduction to Mathematical Statistics
STAT 501 (3) Regression Methods
STAT 502 (3) Analysis of Variance and Design of Experiments
Assuming all requirements for the BS are completed, students in the program can complete the BS degree and not advance to the M.A.S. Degree if they desire.

31-05-139 Add Joint Degree Program between the School of Forest Resources and the Dickinson School of Law.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2003
Joint Degree Program. The Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law (DSL) and the School of Forest Resources (SFR) will offer coordinated programs of studies leading to the degrees of Juris Doctor (J.D.) and a Master of Forest Resources (M.F.R.), a Master of Science (M.S.), a Master of Agriculture (M.Agr.) or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Forest Resources or Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. The SFR programs are interdisciplinary. In the SFR programs, students may concentrate in Forest Resources, Wildlife and Fisheries Science, or Wood Products.
Admissions. In order to be admitted to the program, students may a) first be admitted and enrolled in either SFR or DSL, and be subsequently admitted to the other program, or b) be admitted to the joint degree program prior to commencing studies at Pennsylvania State University. Credits earned in the SFR program before admission to DSL cannot, however, be credited to the J.D. degree. Each program will make a separate admission decision. Students admitted to both programs will be admitted as joint degree candidates. Applications for transfer into the joint degree program from another law school or forestry/natural resources program at another University will be considered on a case by case basis.
Admissions Requirements:
DSL. A bachelor's or equivalent degree from an accredited college is a prerequisite for admission. However, there is no standard prescribed undergraduate curriculum. An applicant should have acquired significant oral, and written communications skills before entering law school. The following are required of applicants: a completed application form for DSL; taking of the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT); completion of an LSDAS report; a one-page personal statement; employment record since high school; and two recommendations.
School of Forest Resources: A Bachelor's or equivalent degree from an accredited college is a prerequisite for admission to a master's degree program, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 and junior-senior average of 3.0, based on a maximum 4.0 system. The following are also required of applicants to the joint degree program: taking of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the LSAT; an official undergraduate transcript or transcripts; a personal statement; employment record since high school; and three recommendations. There is no prescribed undergraduate curriculum, and, because of the diversity of programs in the School, professional preparation may vary considerably. As a guide, SFR suggests having 8 credit hours in chemistry and/or physics; 12 in calculus, statistics, and/or computer science; 8 in biology, botany, and/or zoology; 12 in writing and speaking; 12 in economics, social sciences, and/or humanities; and 18 in forest science, wildlife and fisheries science, and/or wood products. Completed applications showing that a candidate is qualified for admission will be forwarded to potential faculty advisors in SFR, and admission of otherwise qualified candidates will depend upon the willingness of a faculty member to act as an advisor. Applicants are advised to contact potential advisors before applying and should contact the SFR liaison (the Goddard Chair), as well as the SFR Assistant Director of Graduate Studies, to identify potential advisors.
Admission to the Ph.D. program requires evidence of research ability, e.g., a master's degree thesis, paper, or equivalent publication and a grade point average of 3.3 or higher in graduate studies work, exclusive of thesis and special problem courses. Baccalaureate degree students graduating from an honors program with a required thesis, or who have authored a refereed publication, may be considered for admittance without a master's degree.
Residency: For master's programs, 5 semesters residence is required at the Law School and 3 semesters residence at the SFR at University Park, although additional time may be required to complete the M.S. thesis requirements. For Ph.D. programs, the same minimum number of semesters will be required, as well as the additional time as required to complete additional course work and a dissertation. In addition, Ph.D. candidates must arrange the sequence of semesters such that they are in residence at University Park as a full time student for at least two semesters in a single 12 month period. Although a student will normally take all courses at the campus where the student is in residence, a student may take up to one course (three credit hours) per semester at the campus where the student is not in residence. A Ph.D. joint degree student in residence at DSL will be considered to be "registered" at University Park for the purpose of satisfying any requirement of continuous registration and/or benchmarking in the Ph.D. program.
Liaisons: The respective liaisons for DSL and SFR shall be as follows: The Department and Faculty liaison for DSL shall be the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the student advisor will be the Director of the Agricultural Law Center or such other faculty member(s) as may be designated by the Dean. The liaison for SFR for the Joint Degree Program and the student contact for inquiries regarding the Joint Degree Program shall be the then current holder of the Maurice K. Goddard Chair in Forestry and Environmental Resources Conservation, or the Director of SFR when there is no current appointee to the Goddard Chair.
Interprogram Transfer of Credits.
J.D. A maximum of 12 credits for SFR course work may be transferred
for credit toward the J.D. degree at DSL. Students must obtain a grade satisfactory
to DSL for the course work to be credited toward the J.D. degree. What courses
may qualify for credit shall be determined by the DSL liaison. Because of the
interdisciplinary nature of many SFR degrees, courses from other Departments
and Colleges are credited towards an SFR degree with the approval of the SFR
committee (e.g. courses in Economics, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural and
Extension, Agronomy, Entomology, Geosciences, Landscape Architecture, Leisure
Studies, Meteorology, Plant Pathology, Soil Science, EPC) and credits of these
courses will be treated as SFR courses (i.e. may be credited to the DSL program
with DSL approval, subject to the 12-credit limit).
SFR Degrees: The SFR programs are interdisciplinary programs and typically credits from other Departments and Colleges may be credited. What courses may be credited will be determined by the student's SFR committee. Normally, a maximum of 12 credits of DSL course work will be counted for credit toward the minimum requirements for an SFR Master's degree, subject to approval by the student's SFR committee.
Sequence. The sequence of courses will be determined by the students and their advisors. Generally, however, students will complete the first year of the DSL program before beginning the SFR program. Thereafter, students may concurrently enroll in courses in the DSL and SFR programs, provided that they abide by the requirements of each program. The ordinary expectation will be that students will spend entire semesters at one location or the other.
Recommended Program of Study and Advising. All students in the program will have two advisors, one from DSL and one from SFR (the committee chair). Periodic interaction between the two advisors will be encouraged. A program of study will be developed for each student taking into account the fact that some courses at both locations are offered on a rotating or intermittent basis. Many courses are offered every year, but some are offered every two or three years. Advisors will have available a list of projected relevant offerings in order to work with the student on an individualized program of study. The standard committee structure will apply to the SFR programs.
Tuition. Students will be charged the applicable DSL tuition to cover the J.D. program and the applicable SFR tuition to cover the SFR degree program. The DSL tuition will be paid for the semesters that the student is in residence at DSL and the SFR tuition will be paid for the semesters that the student is in residence at University Park. A student may take up to one course (3 credit hours) per semester at the campus where the student is not residence without, any change in tuition, but must pay additional tuition to the nonresidential campus if he or she wishes to take additional course work at that campus during that semester.*
Financial Aid and Assistantships. Decisions on financial aid and assistantships will be made by each school according to that school's procedures. Generally, SFR assistantships and financial aid will not apply to time spent at DSL.
Fulfillment of Degree Requirements and Graduation. A student in the program may complete the requirements for one of the degrees and be awarded that degree prior to completing all the requirements for the other degree, provided, however, that the student shall have successfully completed at least two semesters of work towards the other degree. All courses in one program that will count toward meeting the requirements of the other program must be completed before award of either degree. Students will be required to fulfill all requirements for each degree in order to be awarded that degree, subject to the interprogram transfer of credits. With respect to SFR's requirement for a thesis or paper, work done while at DSL under the supervision of a DSL faculty member may be appropriate for incorporation into the thesis or paper with the approval of the SFR committee (in such cases, the committee should consider whether credits afforded such work will be subject to the 12-credit maximum for interprogram transfers described in paragraph 6(b) and the DSL faculty member should be a member of the committee).

APPENDIX D
Dickinson School of Law
31-05-140 Add Joint Degree Program between the School of Forest Resources and the Dickinson School of Law.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2003
Joint Degree Program. The Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law (DSL) and the School of Forest Resources (SFR) will offer coordinated programs of studies leading to the degrees of Juris Doctor (J.D.) and a Master of Forest Resources (M.F.R.), a Master of Science (M.S.), a Master of Agriculture (M.Agr.) or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Forest Resources or Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. The SFR programs are interdisciplinary. In the SFR programs, students may concentrate in Forest Resources, Wildlife and Fisheries Science, or Wood Products.
Admissions. In order to be admitted to the program, students may a) first be admitted and enrolled in either SFR or DSL, and be subsequently admitted to the other program, or b) be admitted to the joint degree program prior to commencing studies at Pennsylvania State University. Credits earned in the SFR program before admission to DSL cannot, however, be credited to the J.D. degree. Each program will make a separate admission decision. Students admitted to both programs will be admitted as joint degree candidates. Applications for transfer into the joint degree program from another law school or forestry/natural resources program at another University will be considered on a case by case basis.
Admissions Requirements:
DSL. A bachelor's or equivalent degree from an accredited college is a prerequisite for admission. However, there is no standard prescribed undergraduate curriculum. An applicant should have acquired significant oral, and written communications skills before entering law school. The following are required of applicants: a completed application form for DSL; taking of the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT); completion of an LSDAS report; a one-page personal statement; employment record since high school; and two recommendations.
School of Forest Resources: A Bachelor's or equivalent degree from an accredited college is a prerequisite for admission to a master's degree program, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 and junior-senior average of 3.0, based on a maximum 4.0 system. The following are also required of applicants to the joint degree program: taking of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the LSAT; an official undergraduate transcript or transcripts; a personal statement; employment record since high school; and three recommendations. There is no prescribed undergraduate curriculum, and, because of the diversity of programs in the School, professional preparation may vary considerably. As a guide, SFR suggests having 8 credit hours in chemistry and/or physics; 12 in calculus, statistics, and/or computer science; 8 in biology, botany, and/or zoology; 12 in writing and speaking; 12 in economics, social sciences, and/or humanities; and 18 in forest science, wildlife and fisheries science, and/or wood products. Completed applications showing that a candidate is qualified for admission will be forwarded to potential faculty advisors in SFR, and admission of otherwise qualified candidates will depend upon the willingness of a faculty member to act as an advisor. Applicants are advised to contact potential advisors before applying and should contact the SFR liaison (the Goddard Chair), as well as the SFR Assistant Director of Graduate Studies, to identify potential advisors.
Admission to the Ph.D. program requires evidence of research ability, e.g., a master's degree thesis, paper, or equivalent publication and a grade point average of 3.3 or higher in graduate studies work, exclusive of thesis and special problem courses. Baccalaureate degree students graduating from an honors program with a required thesis, or who have authored a refereed publication, may be considered for admittance without a master's degree.
Residency: For master's programs, 5 semesters residence is required at the Law School and 3 semesters residence at the SFR at University Park, although additional time may be required to complete the M.S. thesis requirements. For Ph.D. programs, the same minimum number of semesters will be required, as well as the additional time as required to complete additional course work and a dissertation. In addition, Ph.D. candidates must arrange the sequence of semesters such that they are in residence at University Park as a full time student for at least two semesters in a single 12 month period. Although a student will normally take all courses at the campus where the student is in residence, a student may take up to one course (three credit hours) per semester at the campus where the student is not in residence. A Ph.D. joint degree student in residence at DSL will be considered to be "registered" at University Park for the purpose of satisfying any requirement of continuous registration and/or benchmarking in the Ph.D. program.
Liaisons: The respective liaisons for DSL and SFR shall be as follows: The Department and Faculty liaison for DSL shall be the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the student advisor will be the Director of the Agricultural Law Center or such other faculty member(s) as may be designated by the Dean. The liaison for SFR for the Joint Degree Program and the student contact for inquiries regarding the Joint Degree Program shall be the then current holder of the Maurice K. Goddard Chair in Forestry and Environmental Resources Conservation, or the Director of SFR when there is no current appointee to the Goddard Chair.
Interprogram Transfer of Credits.
J.D. A maximum of 12 credits for SFR course work may be transferred
for credit toward the J.D. degree at DSL. Students must obtain a grade satisfactory
to DSL for the course work to be credited toward the J.D. degree. What courses
may qualify for credit shall be determined by the DSL liaison. Because of the
interdisciplinary nature of many SFR degrees, courses from other Departments
and Colleges are credited towards an SFR degree with the approval of the SFR
committee (e.g. courses in Economics, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural and
Extension, Agronomy, Entomology, Geosciences, Landscape Architecture, Leisure
Studies, Meteorology, Plant Pathology, Soil Science, EPC) and credits of these
