The theatre minor is designed to be an enhancement to a major area of study and/or personal enrichment. The minor should be particularly attractive to students in the humanities (English), communication (Film, Journalism), and the arts (Music, Architecture). The minor may also be attractive to students who need to demonstrate a wide range of interests.
The theatre minor requirements total 18 hours. Theatre 100, a required course in the minor, is an experiential survey of all aspects of the living theatre, as presented by a resident company of theatre artists. Theatre 410, an advanced script analysis course, is also required. Students choose two courses from the approved list of theatre history courses. These supporting courses place the literature and aesthetic in historical, social, and political perspective. Students elect 6 theatre credits as additional courses. They typically schedule Theatre 102, acting for the non-major, and an introductory design or additional theatre history class.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

The curriculum of the program provides students with an introduction to the range of practical skills needed to be an engineering technician in materials-related industries. The program emphasizes powdered metal technology, but the student is prepared for entry-level positions in other materials-related industries.
Among the responsibilities of a materials technician are carrying out hardness, tensile, compression or nondestructive tests, or special problem-solving projects that require failure analysis. Other duties may entail preparing or examining samples under a microscope, using materials specifications or blueprints, or working out heat-treating procedures.
The primary goal of the program is achieved through a core of materials topics, including structure and properties of engineering materials, materials testing, powder metallurgy, and structure characterization. The technical courses are supported by foundation courses in written and oral communications, technical mathematics and calculus, chemistry, physics, computer-aided drafting (CAD), and basic engineering topics. This program is one of the Pennsylvania Department of Education-approved Tech Prep programs. Secondary school students who have graduated from a program covered by a signed Penn State Articulation Agreement may be eligible for special admission procedures and/or advanced placement.
For the Associate in Engineering Technology degree in Materials Engineering Technology, a minimum of 64 credits is required.

This major helps graduates prepare to be occupational therapy assistants who are qualified to be employed by agencies that provide occupational therapy and related services. The goal of occupational therapy is to enable the client to be as independent as possible in the daily performance of self-care, productive, and leisure occupations. General education, basic science, and occupational therapy courses are followed by supervised field experience. Upon successful graduation from the program, students must sit for and successfully pass the NBCOT national certification examination to practice. Most states also require licensure as a condition for employment.
To enter this major, students must have a high school diploma or its equivalent. To be admitted to degree candidacy, the applicant must have completed educational background requirements called Carnegie Units or Secondary School Units. Students are responsible for proof of liability insurance and other requirements specified by the facility providing supervised field experience.
The size of each entering class is limited so that optimal clinical experiences and practical application situations can be maintained. Students enter the program only during the fall semester and are expected to progress through the program in the prescribed manner. Fieldwork affiliations are maintained over a wide geographical area. Students may be required to make special housing and transportation arrangements during the fieldwork phase. Students must complete all Level II fieldwork within twenty-four months of successful completion of OTA didactic course work.
The Penn State Occupational Therapy Assistant Program is fully accredited by ACOTE which can be reached at: Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education, P. O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220, telephone number 301-652-2682.

PROFESSOR WILLIAM H. BRUNE, Head of the Department
Meteorology is a rigorous scientific discipline devoted to the attainment of an increased understanding of the atmosphere and the development of methods for applying that knowledge to practical problems. Although this field is usually associated with weather prediction, it also has significance in environmental, energy, agricultural, oceanic, and hydrological sciences. For students wishing to pursue many of these areas, the department offers several options within the major.
The major requires a solid foundation in mathematics and the physical sciences, and it provides a comprehensive survey of the fundamentals of atmospheric science. It has sufficient flexibility to permit intensive advanced study in such related areas as mathematics, earth sciences, or engineering. The department has particular strengths in weather analysis and prediction, including forecast uncertainty and severe weather; physical meteorology, including radar meteorology, instrumentation and atmospheric measurements; and applied areas, including atmospheric diffusion, air pollution chemistry, dynamic meteorology, tropical meteorology, climate, and remote sensing.
Graduating meteorologists are prepared for professional employment with industry, private consulting firms, government, and the armed forces or for further study toward graduate degrees normally required for research, university, or management positions.
The freshman and sophomore years are largely devoted to preparatory work in science, mathematics, and the liberal arts. The junior and senior years involve a core of basic courses in applied and theoretical topics and a choice of courses offering specialized training. The courses unique to each option are normally taken in the junior and senior years.
For a Meteorology course to serve as a prerequisite for any subsequent prescribed or supporting Meteorology course in the major, a grade of C or better must be earned in the prerequisite course.
For the B.S. degree in Meteorology, a minimum of 121 credits is required.
AIR-QUALITY STUDIES OPTION: This option enables students to gain in-depth knowledge of important areas within the air-quality field. Air-quality meteorologists are employed in both the public and private sectors. Public-sector positions include those with local, state, and federal agencies charged with regulatory, enforcement, and research activities. Within the private sector, air quality meteorologists are employed by consulting firms whose clients are concerned with meeting environmental regulations on emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere or with determining the effects of such emissions. Topics offered in the option include the physical and chemical nature of air pollutants; their sources in industrial processes and human activity; their control at the source; their transport and dispersion through the atmosphere; their interaction with other atmospheric constituents; their removal through cloud processes, fallout, and wet deposition; their effects on ecosystems, materials, and humans; and their economic and societal impacts.
ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES OPTION: This option challenges students to strengthen and broaden their understanding of the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans. It helps prepare them for employment in the diverse field of the atmospheric sciences and for graduate study in the atmospheric or related disciplines. Students are encouraged to participate in undergraduate research projects under the supervision of atmospheric and oceanic scientists in the department.
CLIMATOLOGY OPTION: This option allows students to learn about the earth's climate from regional to global scales, with emphasis on assessing human impacts on the climate system. Students who pursue this area of study learn how the tropical, mid-latitude and polar regions of the atmosphere interact, as well as learn how the atmosphere interacts with the oceans, land masses and biosphere. Study of the climate changes throughout earth's history provides a perspective on potential climate changes due to human activity. Analysis of the societal aspects of climate change offers a mechanism to evaluate the importance of the magnitudes and uncertainties of the expected physical changes.
ENVIRONMENTAL METEOROLOGY OPTION: Environmental Meteorology prepares the student for understanding the impact of the weather on the environment, which is to say the impacts of air and water on ecosystems at human scales. In order to do this, the option establishes links between atmospheric physics and a variety of environmental disciplines pertaining to land, water, soils, and plants. Depending on his/her interests, the student will select courses in the biological sciences, air or water quality, human dynamics, data analysis and surface microclimate. An important component of this program is an undergraduate research project, in which the student is encouraged to develop a topic that addresses problems related to the environment and society, if possible by interacting with public agencies or groups.
GENERAL OPTION: This option has sufficient flexibility to serve the needs of students who wish to pursue topics chosen broadly from subdisciplines of meteorology or from related areas. The General option is appropriate both for students who intend to pursue postgraduate degrees and for students who want to emphasize a topic for which no option exists.
WEATHER FORECASTING AND COMMUNICATIONS OPTION: This option prepares students for careers in which their skills are weather forecasters are effectively used in a variety of ways, from science reporting and television broadcasting to web design and computer-based weather graphics production.

This major helps provide preparation for management positions in hotels, restaurants, institutions, and other hospitality organizations. The program is designed to give the student a broad general education and a strong management and problem-solving orientation balanced with the requisite technical skills, all of them essential for career progression to upper-management positions in the hospitality professions. The program also helps prepare students for graduate study.
The B.S. degree program consists of two options: (1) Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management and (2) Management Dietetics. A minimum of 120 credits is required for the B.S. degree with the HRIM option; a minimum of 128 credits is required for the B.S. degree with the Management Dietetics option.
HOTEL, RESTAURANT, AND INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option helps prepare students for management positions in any segment of the hospitality industry, including hotels, restaurants, institutional or non-commercial operations, clubs, resorts, and casinos. The management focus helps provide students with the analytical, interpersonal, and organizational skills necessary to effectively function as hospitality professionals.
MANAGEMENT DIETETICS OPTION: This option helps prepare graduates for general management positions within the food services operated by or for medical organizations, health and life care facilities, college feeding, governmental agencies, and community feeding programs. The management dietitian is qualified to solve both nutrition and food service problems. Graduates may also choose to work in the management of commercial food service operations. Together with the necessary clinical experience, the option satisfies the eligibility requirements for membership in the American Dietetic Association.

Astronomy involves the study of the properties, physical nature and origins of the planets, stars, galaxies and universe as a whole. It involves development of instrumentation, observations of celestial objects with ground- and space-based telescopes, and interpretation of findings using the mathematical laws of physics such as gravity, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. The undergraduate major provides a strong and broad foundation in mathematics, physical science and computation as well as a detailed understanding of modern astronomy. Many research opportunities are available to complement the formal classwork. Graduates proceed to advanced degrees in astronomy and other sciences, and into a wide variety of technical professions.
For the B.S. degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics, a minimum of 124 credits is required.
In order to be eligible for entrance to the Astronomy and Astrophysics major, a student must have: 1) Attained at least a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average. 2) Completed ASTRO 291 GN(3), CHEM 012 GN(3), MATH 140 GQ(4), MATH 141 GQ(4), PHYS 211 GN(4), and PHYS 212 GN(4); and earned a grade of C or better in each of these courses.

APPENDIX B
GRADUATE
32-04-078 Add.
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2004
DUAL-TITLE GRADUATE DEGREE IN ASTROBIOLOGY(ABIOL)Degree Conferred
Students electing this degree program through participating programs earn a
degree with a dual title in the Ph.D., i.e., Ph.D. in (graduate program name)
and Astrobiology.
The Astrobiology dual-title degree program is administered by the Department of Geosciences for the participating graduate programs. A program committee with representatives from each participating department maintains program definition, defines the nature of the candidacy examination and assigns the examining committee, identifies courses appropriate to the program, and recommends policy and procedures for the program's operation to the dean of the Graduate School and to the deans of the participating colleges. The dual-title degree program is offered through participating programs in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and the Eberly College of Science and, where appropriate, other graduate programs in the University. The program enables students from several graduate programs to gain the perspectives, techniques, and methodologies of Astrobiology, while maintaining a close association with major program areas of application.
Astrobiology is a field devoted to the exploration of life outside of Earth and to the investigation of the origin and early evolution of life on Earth. For admission to pursue a dual-title degree under this program, a student must apply to (1) the Graduate School; (2) one of the participating major graduate programs; and (3) the Astrobiology program committee. Usually students will apply and be accepted into the major program first. Application to the dual-title degree program can occur upon matriculation, but should be completed before the candidacy examination in the major program is scheduled.
Admission Requirements
Graduate students with research and educational interests in astrobiology may apply to the Astrobiology Dual-Title Degree Program. Candidates must submit transcripts of their undergraduate and graduate coursework, a written personal statement indicating the career goals they hope to serve by attaining an Astrobiology dual title, and a statement of support from their dissertation adviser. A strong undergraduate preparation in the basic sciences is expected, with evidence of an interest in multiple disciplines.
Degree Requirements
To qualify for a dual-title degree, students must satisfy the requirements of the major graduate program in which they are enrolled, in addition to the minimum requirements of the Astrobiology program. The minimum course requirements for the dual-title in Astrobiology are ABIOL 574 Planetary Habitability (3 credits), ABIOL 590 Astrobiology Seminar (2 credits), ABIOL 570 Astrobiology Field Experience (2 credits), and at least 2 credits of 400- or 500-level coursework outside of the student's major program in an area relevant to Astrobiology (through consultation with their adviser). All students must pass a candidacy examination that assesses their potential in the field of astrobiology. This examination may be part of the candidacy examination in the student's major graduate program if an Astrobiology faculty member serves on the examination committee and if acceptable to the major program. If not, the Astrobiology dual-title program will offer a second candidacy examination. The structure and timing of the second candidacy examination will be determined jointly by the dual-title and major program. The student's doctoral committee should include faculty from the Astrobiology program, but this person may be the adviser and have an appointment in the major program of study. The field of Astrobiology should be integrated into the comprehensive examination. A Ph.D. dissertation that contributes fundamentally to the field of Astrobiology is required. A public oral presentation of the dissertation is required.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is generally available through the major program and through highly competitive University Graduate Fellowships (UGF). In addition, Penn State's Astrobiology Research Center (PSARC) provides support for students through research assistantships and graduate fellowships. Typically, students in Astrobiology are supported 12 months per year on some form of assistantship, fellowship, or summer wages provided by PSARC, UGF, or their home department.
Other Relevant Information
Students intrigued by the possibility of pursuing research in Astrobiology should visit the PSARC Web site (http://psarc.geosc.psu.ed/) and the NASA Astrobiology Institute Web site (http://nai.arc.nasa.gov).
