Science (SCNBD)

This interdisciplinary major provides a broad, general education in science. The B.S. degree major includes options in General Science and Environmental Studies, and in Earth and Space Science Pre-certification and General Science Pre-certification for teaching. The curriculum is designed for students who have educational goals not readily met by one of the science majors or for those who require a high degree of flexibility to attain their educational objectives. After completing foundation courses in calculus, chemistry, computer science, the life sciences, and physics, students select additional science courses from designated areas. A large number of supporting credits will permit students to include a minor or course sequences in business, education, technical writing, or other fields.

For the B.S. degree in Science, a minimum of 120 credits is required, with at least 15 credits at the 400 level. Each student must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level prescribed, additional, and supporting course.

Applied Psychology

Berks-Lehigh Valley College (APSYC): Penn State Berks, Penn State Lehigh Valley
Commonwealth College: Penn State New Kensington, Penn State McKeesport, Penn State Beaver (APSCC)

This major is designed for students who are interested in a liberal arts degree with a concentration in applied psychology. The program features both active and collaborative classroom experiences in addition to intensive internship experiences, and is most appropriate for students who wish to develop a set of applied scientific and human relations skills that will prepare them for entry-level employment in a wide range of government and private human service organizations and agencies, and in business and industry. Because of the flexible and broad nature of the degree, students might also use this major as a preparation for graduate or professional school in business, human services, law, or the social sciences.

This program differs most notably from traditional majors in psychology in three ways: 1) it is intended for students who may not be planning to pursue a doctoral degree in psychology that would prepare them for a career as a psychologist; 2) it requires that students learn and apply skills during 12 credits of internship experiences; 3) it requires that students demonstrate skill proficiency in a comprehensive assessment in order to graduate.

For the B.A. degree in Applied Psychology, a minimum of 127 credits is required.

Insurance (INS)

University Park, The Smeal College of Business Administration

PROFESSOR KENNETH M. LUSHT, Chair of the Department of Insurance and Real Estate

The insurance major helps prepare students for careers in actuarial science, corporate risk management, and professional areas within insurance organizations. Actuarial science courses stress the application of mathematical and statistical concepts to the measurement of life contingencies. Students completing the actuarial course sequence are prepared to begin the series of professional examinations leading to the F.S.A. designation (Fellow in the Society of Actuaries). Corporate risk management and insurance students study the management of insurable risks within the firm; the regulatory, legal, and financial aspects of the insurance technique; the management of insurance organizations and employee benefit programs. Students also may study the principles underlying complex insurance contracts and their application in personal estate and financial planning.

Students are encouraged to take upper-level courses in finance, marketing, or other areas of business directly related to their professional interests. Insurance students typically find positions in insurance underwriting, claims management, sales, or the risk management departments of corporations. Actuarial science students find employment in the actuarial divisions of insurance companies, consulting firms, and units of government.

For the B.S. degree in Insurance, a minimum of 128 credits is required (at least 15 credits must be taken at the 400 level).

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Criminal Justice helps provide its graduates with the communications and analytical skills critical to succeed in criminal justice and related careers. Through an interdisciplinary approach to the problems of crime and society, the program equips students to pursue graduate study in criminal justice or related disciplines, and educates students to become effective problem-solvers as professionals in the field of criminal justice.

The study of criminal justice is approached as an applied interdisciplinary science, teaching students both the theoretical and the practical aspects of crime control and the administration of justice. The Criminal Justice program at Harrisburg is designed for students who have completed at least 60 credits from other institutions or who hold an associate degree in Criminal Justice or Police Science. The Criminal Justice program at Schuylkill provides all four years of the Criminal Justice degree.

The Criminal Justice curriculum provides students with the opportunity and assistance to acquire knowledge of the roles of policing, courts, laws, and corrections as they relate to both the adult and juvenile justice system. Students also gain knowledge of the history, concepts, and critical issues related to the role of gender and race/ethnicity in the criminal justice system, victimology, and ethics in criminal justice. The curriculum further provides a theoretical foundation of the discipline, combines with a thorough understanding of the scientific method as it applies to criminal justice. This combination is expected to sharpen the students' talents of reasoning and judgement; qualities imperative to rational functioning in criminal justice and related professions.

For a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice a minimum of 120 credits are required.

Admission Requirements for Transfer Students:
Applicants should generally have completed most of their first two years of college with at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA (4.0 scale). At the Harrisburg campus there are a limited number of 001-200 level courses offered. Students who enroll at the Schuylkill campus have a selection from a full menu of courses needed to fulfill the degree requirements. The evaluation of prior college work is conducted on an individual basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at both campuses.

Entry to Major Requirements:
The student must have a 2.00 cumulative grade point average and an average of C (2.00) or better in any course already taken in the major.

Change of Assignment Recommendation:
Because a limited number of 001-002 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg for students who need lower division courses, students should generally have completed most of their General Education requirements.

Elementary Education & Early Childhood Education (ELEM)

Capital College

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 suburban and 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 are required.

For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education with Early Childhood Education Certification a minimum of 140 credits are required.

Admission Requirements for Transfer Students:
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.

Students should request a change-of-assignment to Penn State Harrisburg during their fourth semester, to be effective for the next semester of enrollment.

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. Semester 5 through 8 are very structured. (see also Teacher Education Programs)

Change of Assignment Recommendation:
Students should generally have completed most of their General Education requirements. A limited number of 001-200 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg for students who need lower division courses. Students should request a change-of-assignment to Penn State Harrisburg or Penn State Schuylkill during their fourth semester, to be effective for the next semester of enrollment.

Selective Retention:
Prior to the end of the first semester at Penn State Harrisburg, students will be required to submit their scores of the Praxis I examinations in reading, writing and mathematics. Retention is contingent on the student 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.

Electrical Engineering (E E)

University Park, College of Engineering

PROFESSOR W. KENNETH JENKINS, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is the application of electronics, electrical science and technology, and computer systems to the needs of society. Students in the BSEE program at Penn State, University Park, master electrical engineering theory through lecture-based courses. Additional problem-solving skills and practical experience are developed through design projects and laboratory assignments, which also provide opportunities for the development of team-building and teamwork skills. These design experiences are integrated throughout the curriculum from the first year through the fourth-year capstone design course. In addition, students improve their written and oral communication skills and expand their general knowledge through a variety of additional courses in communications, arts, humanities, and the social studies that complement the technical courses.

A combination of required and elective technical courses ensures that students acquire both a broad knowledge base as well as expertise in one or more areas of specialization. Areas of specialization include antennas, communications, computer engineering, control systems, digital signal processing, electronic and photonic device fabrication and circuit design, energy conversion, fiber optics and lasers, image processing, microwaves and radar, optical computing, power systems, remote sensing, and space sciences.

The program prepares graduates for both professional careers in electrical engineering and advanced study at the graduate level in electrical engineering or a related field. Career opportunities are quite diverse, and they include research, product design and development, manufacturing, technical management, and technical sales.

The curriculum consists of one year of background science and mathematics, followed by three years of engineering course work, including a wide variety of technical electives. The General Education requirements are distributed throughout the four years.

For the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, a minimum of 129 credits is required.

PROFESSOR JOSEPH LAMBERT, Program Coordinator

This associate degree major is structured to prepare graduates for immediate and continuing employment opportunities in the broad disciplines of information science and technology. This includes positions such as application programmers, associate systems designers, network managers, web designers and administrators, or information systems support specialists. Specifically, the major is designed to ensure a thorough knowledge of information systems and includes extensive practice using contemporary technologies in the creation, organization, storage, analysis, evaluation, communication, and transmission of information. The major fosters communications, interpersonal, and group interaction skills through appropriate collaborative and active learning projects and experiences. Technical material covers the structure of database systems, web and multi-media systems, and considerations in the design of information systems. Team projects in most courses, a required internship, and a second year capstone experience provide additional, focused venues for involving students in the cutting-edge issues and technologies in the field.

The Associate of Science in IST degree will be offered at multiple campuses within the Penn State System of Colleges and Campuses. Note that not all options will be available at all locations.

Baccalaureate Option: This option provides maximum articulation with the Baccalaureate Degree.

PROFESSOR JAMES B. THOMAS, Program Coordinator

This major is structured to provide students with the theoretical frameworks and skill sets necessary to compete and be productive in the information technology-intensive global context that defines the new "Information Age." Specifically, the degree will be focused on a program that will build an understanding of core information technologies and related areas of study; will prepare students for the practical application of various information sciences and related technologies; and engage students in sharpening their abilities to think critically and to work in teams. All this will be done with considerable interdisciplinary integration in order to expose students to the cognitive, social, institutional, and global environments of IST. Team projects in most courses, a required internship, and a senior capstone experience provide additional, focused venues for involving students in the cutting-edge issues and technologies of the field.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS: DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT OPTION: This option is focused on expanding the skills needed to develop advanced information technology systems using state-of-the-art tools and techniques. The emphasis is on providing the student with both knowledge in the design, implementation, testing and evolution of complex software systems as well as a set of project-oriented, team-programming experiences.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: INTEGRATION & APPLICATION OPTION: This option is designed to prepare students to use information technology to realize a variety of system-based goals (e.g., reliability, accessibility, efficiency, etc.). It is focused on developing a theoretical foundation and the skill set needed for integrating information technology into different systems for the purpose of enhancing system performance. The emphasis is on providing the student with both the theoretical frameworks needed to use information technology as a system attribute as well as a set of application-oriented experiences and skills.

INFORMATION CONTEXT: PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS, AND SOCIETY OPTION: This option focuses on how information technology affects social change and the delivery of information to the consumer. This includes the human-machine interface; organization and retrieval of information; digital libraries; information and telecommunications services; information and media industry structures; software services and intermediaries; telecommunications and information law and policy; sociological aspects of technology change; multimedia; and art, design, and aesthetics.

For the B.S. degree in Information Sciences and Technology, a minimum of 125 credits is required.

FOREST RESOURCES (FOR R)

Degrees Conferred: Ph.D., M.S., M.Agr., M.F.R.

The Doctor of Philosophy and the Master of Science degree programs are oriented toward research, education, and scientific technology in the professions of forest products and forestry. The Master of Forest Resources (M.F. R.) is a professional degree designed for students who want to specialize in fields of wood products marketing or industries, forest management, silviculture, urban forestry, watershed management, or wildlife and fisheries management. This degree differs from the research-oriented Master of Science degree programs in the School of Forest Resources because the M.F. R. emphasizes applications, analysis, and synthesis of knowledge rather than creating new information through more traditional types of research. This program is especially attractive to returning students interested in gaining state-of-the-art informaiton rather than thesis research in their specialized field. Students who have baccalaureated degrees in forestry, wood products, or fildlife and fisheries may complete the M.F.R. degree requirements in one year, whereas those with degrees in related fields generally require longer because of deficiencies in prerequisite undergraduate courses. The Master of Agriculture is intended to enable students to develop skills as professionals in the communication of technical knowledge.

Faculty expertise, laboratories, and outdoor facilities are available to support specialization in a variety of fields. Possibilities for specialization are indicated in part by the courses listed under forest products, forestry, and wildlife, and by related courses in agricultural economics, agronomy, animal nutrition, biology business administration, chemical engineering, computer science, ecology, economics, entomology, environmental pollution control, environmental resource management, genetics, horticulture, industrial engineering, landscape architecture, meteorology, physiology, plant pathology, polymer sciences, recreation and parks, regional planning, or statistics.

Students in this program may elect the dual-degree program option in Operations Research for the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees. (See also Operations Research.)

Admission Requirements

Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission. A student may be admitted provisionally without GRE scores. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Application materials should be submitted before February by those who want to begin in summer or fall. For admission, an applicant should have at least a 2.75 grade-point average, a 3.00 junior/senior average (on a 4.00 scale), and courses that are basic to the individual's field of specialization. Ordinarily, these include 12 credits in communication; 12 credits in social sciences and humanities; 10 credits in quantification, including calculus and statistics; 8 credits in chemistry and/or physics; 8 credits in biological sciences; and 18 credits in forest products, forestry, fish, wildlife, or related courses. Three reference letters and a brief statement describing the applicant's academic goals, career interests, and special qualifications are required. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces available. Exceptions to admission requirements may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests.

Admission to the Ph.D. program in Forest Resources requires a master's degree in Forest Resources or a closely related field, or a bachelor's degree with a minimum grade-point average of 3.30 and demonstrated research ability.

Master's Degree Requirements

M.S.: In addition to Graduate School requirements, 6 credits of statistics and 2 credits of colloquium are required.

M.F.R.: A minimum of 30 graduate credits (400- to 500-level courses) is required, of which at least 20 must be earned at an established graduate campus of the University with at least 18 credits as formal courses (excluding paper writing, colloquia, and independent studies) related to forest resources, wood products, wildlife and fisheries. At least 12 credits must be at the 500 level, including 6 credits of formal courses. A paper (3-6 credits of FOR/FP/WFS 596) and formal presentation (1 credit for FOR/WP/WFS 596) is required as part of the 30 credits that demonstrates ability to apply the knowledge gained during the program to the specialized field of interest. The program must also include 3 credits of statistics at the graduate level.

M.Agr.: Candidates will elect a minimum of 15 credits of graduate-level communications courses in majors such as Agricultural and Extension Education, English, Instructional Media, Journalism, Mass Communications, Recreation and Parks, Speech Communication, and Theatre. Any deficiencies in a student's resource specialty, as judged by his or her advisory committee, must be remedied. An acceptable paper on a selected professional problem or a report of internship training worth 3 credits or more also is required.

Doctoral Degree Requirements

An international communications or cultural requirement is required for the Ph.D. degree. This requirement may be satisfied by demonstrating competence in one foreign language equivalent to passing two or three college-level courses. It also may be met by two courses in one or two contemporary foreign cultures. With approval of the doctoral committee, a student may petition the graduate faculty of the school for waiver of the international communications or culture requirement.

Postbaccalaureate course work will include courses specified for the M.S. degree plus 2 credits of colloquium. The entire program of courses tailored to the student's objectives is subject to approval of the student's committee.

Admission Requirements

Admission 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, and a personal essay.

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 MPM 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.

The MPM program 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 in either 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 TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). 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 to successfully complete the MPM program. They must know how to use word processing software, log on to an Internet provider, and use e-mail. Additionally, MPM students will use Microsoft Office in their coursework that will require 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.

Course Sequence and Typical Scheduling Pattern

The following is one possible course sequence and scheduling pattern.

The recommended maximum course load is 6 credits per semester. MANGT 510 must be taken in the first semester of study and is a prerequisite or co-requisite for all other courses in the program. MANGT 575 (Management of Projects) is intended as a capstone course and must be taken following completion of at least 18 credits. Students are eligible to complete the applied research project on project management as an independent study (MANGT 596) after completion of 21 credits.

MANGT 596 (Independent Studies [Applied Research Project]) is required for completion of masters. These courses are not delivered via the World Campus. Instead, students register directly with Penn State Erie and work with one or two faculty members who will be assigned to supervise independent studies as a part of their normal teaching assignment. Faculty/student interaction will be facilitated by phone, e-mail, and face-to-face meetings. Students are expected to submit a project proposal as well as a finished work.
