PROFESSOR DENNIS BUCKMASTER, Program Coordinator
The Agricultural Mechanization Technology minor covers the mechanical, structural, natural resource, processing, and electronic technologies applied in agriculture systems. Students who graduate with this minor will have a solid understanding of how physical sciences and biological principles apply to real world problems in food and fiber industries. With industry teams often formed purposefully with many disciplines represented, this background of applied engineering basics and the focus on quantitative analysis has proven helpful to past graduates.
Integration of the applied technologies is addressed using a systems approach in each required course. Technologies addressed by courses in this minor include combustion engines, electric motors, mechanical and hydraulic power transmission systems, mobile equipment functions and operations, sensor and control systems, building structures, ventilation, drying, irrigation, drainage, food processing. The minor is targeted to students who will use these technologies or manage others who are responsible for systems utilizing these technologies. Most courses required for the minor are taught by engineering faculty, and nearly every course has a laboratory period.
Admission to the minor requires introductory calculus (MATH 110 or MATH 140) and introductory physics (PHYS 211 or PHYS 250).
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

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 GA;US;IL, 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 one course from the approved list of theatre history courses and one course from the approved list of design/technical courses. These supporting courses place the literature and aesthetic in historical, social, and political perspective. Students elect 6 theatre credits as additional courses. Typical supporting courses include: Theatre 102 GA, Fundamentals of Acting; THEA 208 GA;US;IL, Workshop: Theatre in Diverse Cultures; and advanced design or theatre history classes.

PROFESSOR JOHN S. NICHOLS, Interm Head, Department of Film/Video and Media Studies
Integrated B.A/M.A. in Media Studies
The College of Communications offers academically qualified students enrolled in a
Bachelor of Arts program in the College of Communications the opportunity to earn both
the B.A and the M.A. upon completion of five years of study. The Integrated
Undergraduate-Graduate Program in Media Studies would facilitate the advanced study of
communications research and thesis development through a carefully organized selection
of undergraduate courses, graduate seminars and directed research projects. The program
would accelerate and enhance undergraduate students' appreciation for graduate level
scholarship by involving them in the seminars, research activities and the scholarly
discourse of the College's community of Masters and Doctoral-level scholars.
For the IUG Media Studies B.A./M.A. degree, a minimum of 120 credits are required for the
B.A. and 36 credits for the M.A. Twelve graduate level credits, in consultation with the
adviser, can apply to both the B.A. and M.A. degrees. Six of these must be at the 500 level.
If for any reason a student admitted to the B.A./M.A. program is unable to complete the
requirements for the Master of Arts degree program in Media Studies, the student will be
permitted to receive the B.A. degree assuming all degree requirements have been
satisfactorily completed.
Application Process and Admissions Requirements
Applicants must complete 6 credits from the following lists of courses with a minimum GPA
of 3.5 in order to be admitted: 3 credits from COMM 100, COMM 150, COMM 180, COMM 320, or COMM 370 and 3
credits from COMM 205, COMM 250, COMM 381, COMM 401, COMM 403, COMM 404, COMM 405, COMM 407, COMM 408, COMM 409, COMM 410, COMM 411, COMM 413, COMM 417,
COMM 418, COMM 419, COMM 451, COMM 452, COMM 453, COMM 454, COMM 455, COMM 484, or COMM 485. The minimum overall GPA required of
applicants is 3.2. Admission to the program is based on the evaluation of the student's
transcript, examples of completed writing and research projects, a narrative statement of
objectives, and two letters of support from faculty with whom they have worked. One
faculty member must be from the College of Communications. Students are expected to
apply after completing 60 credits but before the completion of 100 credits. Candidates are
expected to present records of outstanding scholarly achievement to qualify. Applications
will be reviewed by the appropriate subset of members of the Graduate Committee of the
College.
Applicants to the integrated program:
Program of Study
The Integrated B.A./M.A. degree in Media Studies is an academic program that involves
students in the systematic study of media. The objective of the course of study is to enable
students to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the systems, networks, cultures,
and information associated with media. The program prepares students for doctoral study
in communications and for professional positions in business and government requiring a
comprehensive understanding of the historical, social, and political implications of the
media. This program helps prepare students to organize research projects, critically
evaluate research reports, and directly influence media practices by the application of
research findings. The program is specifically not intended for advanced professional
education.
Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is in undergraduate status,
unless the student receives financial support, such as an assistantship requiring the
payment of graduate tuition.
Degree Requirements
For the IUG Media Studies M.A. degree, a minimum of 120 credits are required for the B.A.
and 36 credits for the M.A. At least 18 of the required 36 credits must be at the 500 level.
Twelve graduate level credits, in consultation with the adviser, can apply to both the B.A.
and M.A. degrees. Six of these double-counted credits must be at the 500 level. A
minimum of 12 credits of coursework, as opposed to research credits, must be completed
in Communications. COMM 515 and COMM 506 or COMM 511 are required. IUG students will
prepare a thesis proposal in consultation with their advisers and are required to present the
final thesis in a formal oral defense meeting to a committee of at least 3 members of
graduate faculty, two of whom must be members of the College faculty. It is encouraged
that one member of the committee be from outside the College.

PROFESSOR ROY E. YOUNG, Head of the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering
This major helps prepare students for careers involving the application of engineering principles to agricultural and biological production systems, processing systems, and conservation of land and water resources. Education in mathematics, physics, and engineering sciences common to all engineering disciplines is provided along with specialized training in biological and agricultural sciences. The curriculum covers all areas of agricultural and biological engineering, including food engineering, post harvest handling and processing of commodities, power and machinery development and applications, resource management and utilization, soil and water management, and structures and their environmental modifications. A student can select the Agricultural Engineering option or the Biological Food Engineering option. The major is administered jointly by the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences and Engineering.
The goals and objectives of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering program include: (1) providing students with strong fundamental bases in engineering for entering professional engineering careers and/or graduate programs; (2) teaching students to apply engineering fundamentals and develop designs to solve engineering problems in agricultural and biological systems; (3) strengthening the students' abilities to communicate with others in all matters related to the profession and associated social responsibilities; (4) enabling students to develop the necessary skills to become lifelong learners; and (5) providing guidance in nurturing personal professional development, efficient work habits, integrity, willingness to accept responsibility, and leadership skills.
Design experiences are integrated throughout the curriculum by solving problems typical of those to be encountered in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, emphasizing the need to learn how technology affects societal values and structures, and developing an understanding of the humanities as well as technology. The design experiences emphasize that engineering professionals must learn not only how to create and use technology, but also to assess and manage the social and human consequences of that technology. The engineering design experiences culminate with a major design project in A B E 469W(3), the senior design capstone course.
Careers for graduates include design, development, and research engineering positions involving food processing, machinery development, irrigation and drainage, soil and water conservation, materials handling, and structural systems for animals, plants, and crop storage. Agricultural and biological engineers are employed in industry, consulting firms, and governmental agencies in the United States and abroad. Graduates deal with the various engineering aspects associated with production and processing of food, fiber, and other biological materials, within the constraints of environmental protection and natural resource conservation.
For the B.S. degree in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required. This baccalaureate program in Agricultural and Biological Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone 410-347-7700; or www.abet.org.

PROFESSOR ANDREW L. ZYDNEY, Interim Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering
The job of the chemical engineer is to develop applications utilizing the most recent advances in the sciences, including chemistry, biology and materials science. The chemical engineering curriculum provides students with the knowledge and skill necessary to solve the problems of taking work from the small scale of the laboratory to actual implementation and construction.
While science disciplines emphasize the facts and principles of science, chemical engineering emphasizes its practical application on an industrial scale.
The chemical engineering curriculum covers such fundamentals as stoichiometry and materials balances, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, chemical equilibrium and reaction rates, economics, optimization, and control. The emphasis of the curriculum is placed on the utilization of these fundamental principles to analyze, design, construct, and operate processes in a diversity of fields, including the chemical, petroleum, food, polymer, pharmaceutical, electronic, and materials industries.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

IUG status permits students to take on the rigors and research challenges of graduate study at Penn State, coordinating and combining them with their baccalaureate studies. Because some credits earned as an undergraduate may be applied to both degree programs, the time required for completion of integrated undergraduate/graduate studies is normally less than that required to complete separate degree programs. The actual time required is determined by the individual student's objectives, needs, and diligence.

Introduction
Engineering Science students, because of the flexibility of the curriculum and their strength in
fundamentals, have a unique opportunity to take advantage of the ESM Integrated Undergraduate
Graduate (IUG) program. Application for IUG status may be made in the fifth or subsequent
semesters.
ITJG status permits students to take on the rigors and research challenges of graduate study at
Penn State, coordinating and combining them with their baccalaureate studies. Because some
credits earned as an undergraduate may be applied to both degree programs, the time required for
completion of integrated undergraduate/graduate studies is normally less than that required to
complete separate degree programs. The actual time required is determined by the individual
student's objectives, needs, and diligence.

PROFESSOR RICHARD J. KOUBEK, Professor and Head of the Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering
The undergraduate program in industrial engineering, being the first established in the world, has a long tradition of providing a strong, technical, hands-on education in design, control, and operation of manufacturing processes and systems. The curriculum provides a broad-based education in manufacturing, operations research and ergonomics through a base of mathematics, physical and engineering sciences, and laboratory and industrial experiences. It builds a strong foundation for the development of a professionally competent and versatile industrial engineer, able to function in a traditional manufacturing environment as well as in a much broader economy, including careers in financial services, communication, information technology, transportation, health care, consulting, or academia.
The graduates of the program are expected to: 1) utilize fundamental engineering skills based in mathematics, science, and the scientific method and contemporary tools and techniques in identifying and solving manufacturing and service industry problems; 2) understand, analyze and design industrial and service processes, systems, and work environments; 3) collect, analyze and interpret data, through modeling and quantitative analysis, to make sound managerial decisions; 4) present effectively, through oral and written communications, their work and ideas; 5) perform in a professional and ethical manner as part of a diverse team in a global society. The graduates of the program are also encouraged to gain practical experience through interaction with industry prior to graduation.
The following outcomes are included in the courses taught in the program:
Students are allowed considerable flexibility in selecting their own programs. Interested students may further specialize in one or two of the above areas by appropriate use of 12 credits of engineering and science electives.
For the B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering, a minimum of 129 credits is required. This baccalaureate program in Industrial Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone 410-347-7700; or www.abet.org.

Degree Conferred:M.B.A.
The Program
Students served by the M.B.A. program
are, primarily, nontraditional and reside in south-central Pennsylvania. With
the exception of a small percentage of students who are full-time, they 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 offered primarily in the late
afternoon and evening--with occasional offerings on weekends.
The program is intended not only to satisfy current individual needs for professional growth, but also to foster lifelong learning. As an outcome of the program, students may expect to gain participative strengths, problem solving and critical thinking skills, technical expertise, and desirable attitudes and values, particularly ethical values needed in the conduct of business.
To strengthen the educational experience, the Program places high priority on teaching and currency of curriculum, with an emphasis on oral and written communication, research, and cross-functional integration of concepts.
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the program must hold a baccalaureate degree in any field from a regionally accredited, college-level institution. Decisions are based primarily on undergraduate junior/senior grade-point average and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores. (Please visit http://www.mba.com/ for more information about the GMAT). Post baccalaureate course work, professional experience, and the statements provided in the application are also taken into account.
Students are also required to submit:
For complete admission information, on-line application, and the latest updates on admission requirements and procedures, please consult the College Web page at http://www.hbg.psu.edu/.
International Students
Applicants whose
first language is not English or who have not received a baccalaureate degree
from an institution in which the language of instruction is English, must take
the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), http://www.toefl.org/. The test must be passed
with a score of 550 (paper based test) or 213 (computer based test) or higher.
All students with international credentials must submit transcripts to Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. (ECE) for a "course by course" academic evaluation of transcripts and degree. An ECE application can be obtained on the Web at: http://www.ece.org.
Application Dates
Candidates may enter the program at the beginning of the fall or spring semester, or the summer session. To allow time for applications to be processed, all information, including the GMAT score, should be received by the admissions office no later than July 18 for admission to the fall semester, November 18 for the spring semester, and April 18 for admission to the summer session.
Applicants from outside the United States must follow the early-admission dates in order to allow the necessary clearances and paperwork to be processed in time. International application deadline dates are:
Preparation for the Program
Analytic Skills Requirement: Prior to enrolling in their M.B.A. course work, students must demonstrate competence in analytic skills. This requirement can be satisfied in one of two ways: (1) by satisfactory completion of college-level courses in calculus and statistics such as QUANT 310, or MATH 110 plus STAT 200; or (2) by successful completion of proficiency examinations in calculus and statistics approved by the M.B.A. Program. This requirement must be satisfied by the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation, and completed with a grade of C or higher.
Credit by examination: Interested students should obtain a Credit by Examination form from Enrollment Services and consult with the MBA Program to obtain a list of suggested preparatory materials and schedule the exam.
Computer Skills Requirement: Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in the use of microcomputer applications.This requirement can be satisfied through of a college-level microcomputer applications course within the past five years with a grade of a B or higher, or by documented , significant, computer-related work experience. If this requirement has not been met prior to admission, a college-level microcomputer course such as M I S 103 or COMPSC 203 is required. Course work must be completed by the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation with a grade of B or higher.
Communications Skills Requirement: Successful completion of the M.B.A. Program requires the ability to think clearly, and to write and speak persuasively. Part of this requirement can be satisfied by achieving a score of "4" or higher on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Analytical Writing Assessment. If this score is not achieved, students must satisfy this requirement through additional course work in writing skills such as ENGL 5013 or other work developed in consultation with the M.B.A. Program. This requirement must be satisfied by the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation. All courses taken must be completed with a grade of B or higher. The speech component of this requirement is satisfied through individual and group presentations in BUS 500 and other courses in the M.B.A. Program.
Pre-Program Courses:
The MBA Program is
grounded in the academic disciplines of accounting, finance, economics,
marketing, management, and information sciences, among others, in order to
provide students with the conceptual foundation required for competent pursuit
of more advanced studies in business administration as well as the ethical and
legal management of profit and non-profit organizations. This background can be
provided by course work taken as part of a comprehensive and integrated,
four-year degree program at an accredited, college-level institution, or through
graduate course work. All courses must have been completed with a grade of B or
higher, within seven years prior to admission to the M.B.A. Program. Course work
not meeting the tests of relevancy, quality, or currency must be taken at the
graduate level prior to starting the 30-credit M.B.A. Program. Time limits may
be waived by the M.B.A. Program on the basis of post-graduation training or
current and relevant work experience. Courses available at Penn State Harrisburg
that provide the necessary foundation for graduate business study include: ACCT
501, BUS 500, BUS 505, BUSEC 502, BUSEC 503, MNGMT 511; Either MNGMT 522 or
MNGMT 523; and MRKT 513.
Degree Requirements
The M.B.A. degree requires 30
credits of course work at the graduate level (500-level or higher). These
credits are distributed over two clusters of courses: Prescribed
Courses and Elective Courses/Tracks.

DENNIS SHEA, Head
104 Henderson Building
814-863-5421
Degrees Conferred: Ph.D., M.S., M.B.A./M.H.A. (concurrent)
The graduate degrees in the Department of Health Policy and Administration focus on management, policy, and research in health care systems, with particular attention to the recurrent problems of cost, quality, and access to health services.
The professional Master of Health Administration (MHA) program prepares students for the complexities they will face in managing organizations that plan, finance and deliver health care. The curriculum emphasizes strategic decision-making, financial management, communication and detailed aspects of the U.S. health care system. These include health law, epidemiology, health insurance, government health-financing programs, ethics, managed care, long-term care, health care technology, marketing, and strategic planning for health and human services.
The integrated B.S. in health policy and administration/Master of Health Administration (MHA) program allows qualified undergraduate students to earn both degrees in five calendar years of full time academic study.
The doctoral and MS programs provide advanced training in health services research, policy, and administration, leading to positions in universities, governmental agencies, and other research and educational settings. In addition to active research mentoring by HPA full-time faculty, PhD students also may work with faculty from diverse units across the University, such as economics, statistics, management, rural sociology, and finance.
HPA faculty members have research projects in long-term care, rural health services, medical care organizations, consumer choice in health care markets, information systems, and national and state health care policies. Additional opportunities for research and other scholarly activities are available through the University’s Center for Health Care and Policy Research and the Gerontology Center both of which have strong ties to the HPA department.
M.H.A. Admission and Degree Requirements
Satisfactory scores from either the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
A junior/senior grade point average of 3.00 or better, a relevant personal statement and three letters of recommendation are necessary. Some work experience in health care is preferred.
The curriculum focuses on the development of management skills and problem solving within the distinctive clinical, ethical/legal, and financial contexts of health care organizations. The 49-credit program can be completed on a full-time basis in 21 months, or part-time. A ten-week residency in a practice setting is required.
A concurrent MBA/MHA is also offered. Separate admission and degree requirements exist and plans of study are developed on an individual basis.
Integrated B.S. in Health Policy and Administration/Master of Health Administration (MHA) Admission and Degree Requirements
The following credentials will be considered for admission:
Students admitted to the B.S. in Health Policy Administration/MHA integrated program are able to earn both the B.S. and MHA in five calendar years of full time academic study. A minimum of 157 credits is required for completion of both degrees.
M.S. Admission and Degree Requirements
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) are required for admission into the M.S. program. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
A junior/senior grade-point average of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 scale); competitive GRE or GMAT scores; and a well-considered statement of experience and career goals are major criteria for admission. Some work experience in health services is desirable. Deficiencies in one area may be offset by significant strength in the remaining areas.
The Master of Science degree in Health Policy and Administration is designed to prepare individuals for further academic research or for research/analytic work in nonacademic settings related to a diverse range of health services topics. The objectives of the M.S. in Health Policy and Administration (H P A) are to produce professionals to participate in health services research and conduct data analyses supporting planning, policy development, evaluation, and/or administration in a variety of settings concerned with health policy and administration.
Accordingly, the goal of the M.S. course sequence is to provide didactic emphasis to work in statistics and data management, health services research methods and mentored research. M.S. students will also receive an introduction to the theoretic underpinnings of health services research (health economics, health care organization theory and epidemiology). Program graduates will be able to serve as health services research support staff and will have the requisite skills to enable them to commence and make rapid progress toward a Ph.D.
A minimum of 40 credits is required for completion of the degree. At least 15 credits of the program must be completed in H P A departmental course offerings at the 400 and 500 level. At least 18 credits of the degree must be in 500- and 600-level courses. A 6-credit master’s thesis must be completed as part of the degree requirement.
Doctoral Admission and Degree Requirements
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) are required for admission into the doctoral program. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
A junior/senior grade-point average of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 scale); competitive GRE or GMAT scores; and a well-considered statement of experience and career goals are major criteria for admission. Some work experience in health services is desirable. Deficiencies in one area may be offset by significant strength in the remaining areas.
The Ph.D. program is designed to provide advanced training in health policy, health administration, and health services research to qualified candidates with varied backgrounds. For persons with a master’s degree in health administration or related area—an M.H.A. or M.P.A., for example—the course of study typically entails two years of course work and one to two years of dissertation research.
The H P A doctoral curriculum is built around four substantive areas: (1) 6 credits of core courses in health policy and administration, including doctoral seminars, (2) 3 to 6 credits in microeconomics and 6 credits in organizational theory, (3) 18 credits in research methods and statistics, and (4) 15 credits in specialty emphasis or minor field courses. In addition to completing all formal course work with a grade-point average of 3.00 or better, doctoral students must pass a candidacy review, show competency in English and use of statistical computer packages, pass a series of comprehensive examinations, and successfully defend their thesis in a final oral examination.
Student Aid
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.
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.

Integrated B.A/M.A. in Media Studies
The College of Communications offers academically qualified students enrolled in a
Bachelor of Arts program in the College of Communications the opportunity to earn both
the B.A and the M.A. upon completion of five years of study. The Integrated
Undergraduate-Graduate Program in Media Studies would facilitate the advanced study of
communications research and thesis development through a carefully organized selection
of undergraduate courses, graduate seminars and directed research projects. The program
would accelerate and enhance undergraduate students' appreciation for graduate level
scholarship by involving them in the seminars, research activities and the scholarly
discourse of the College's community of Masters and Doctoral-level scholars.
For the IUG Media Studies B.A./M.A. degree, a minimum of 120 credits are required for the
B.A. and 36 credits for the M.A. Twelve graduate level credits, in consultation with the
adviser, can apply to both the B.A. and M.A. degrees. Six of these must be at the 500 level.
If for any reason a student admitted to the BA/MA program is unable to complete the
requirements for the Master of Arts degree program in Media Studies, the student will be
permitted to receive the BA degree assuming all degree requirements have been

Applicants to the integrated program:
Program of Study
The Integrated B.A./M.A. degree in Media Studies is an academic program that involves
students in the systematic study of media. The objective of the course of study is to enable
students to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the systems, networks, cultures,
and information associated with media. The program prepares students for doctoral study
in communications and for professional positions in business and government requiring a
comprehensive understanding of the historical, social, and political implications of the
media. This program helps prepare students to organize research projects, critically
evaluate research reports, and directly influence media practices by the application of
research findings. The program is specifically not intended for advanced professional
education.
Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is in undergraduate status,
unless the student receives financial support, such as an assistantship requiring the
payment of graduate tuition.
Degree Requirements
For the IUG Media Studies M.A. degree, a minimum of 120 credits are required for the B.A.
and 36 credits for the M.A. At least 18 of the required 36 credits must be at the 500 level.
Twelve graduate level credits, in consultation with the adviser, can apply to both the B.A.
and M.A. degrees. Six of these double-counted credits must be at the 500 level. A
minimum of 12 credits of coursework, as opposed to research credits, must be completed
in Communications. COMM 515 and COMM 506 or COMM 511 are required. IUG students will
prepare a thesis proposal in consultation with their advisers and are required to present the
final thesis in a formal oral defense meeting to a committee of at least 3 members of
graduate faculty, two of whom must be members of the College faculty. It is encouraged
that one member of the committee be from outside the College.

MPA Program
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program is intended for those with career interests in public management, health and human services, government, and other public service and nonprofit organizations. The curriculum blends theoretical and applied concepts and assures “real-world” experiences for the novice administrator. In addition, it requires that students devote attention to general professional development. The MPA program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration.
FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME--Students may begin the program in any semester. Three courses (or 9 credits) per semester are considered a normal course load for full-time students. Part-time students typically take one or two 3-credit courses each semester and one or two courses during the summer session to maintain steady progress toward the degree. The program, including an internship in a public agency or nonprofit organization for those without three years of managerial, supervisory, or professional experience, requires eighteen to twenty-four months of full-time study, or three to five years on a part-time basis.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must have received their baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university prior to starting the graduate program. Applicants who are still completing their baccalaureate requirements at the time of application may be admitted to the Graduate School conditional on the awarding of the baccalaureate degree.
Admission to the MPA program is based on clear suitability for the program as demonstrated by the application as a whole, including the following: a completed application with the application fee; evidence of a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college; a statement of career and educational goals; a successful undergraduate record with a grade-point average of 3.00 (either as the cumulative GPA or for the last 60 hours of relevant course work); satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or Law School Admission Test (LSAT) if the GPA is less than 3.0; and three references willing to provide recommendations.
Prerequisites
All students admitted to the MPA program must show prerequisite 3-credit course work in statistics and statistical software with a satisfactory grade. Students without prior course work in statistics must fulfill this prerequisite within two semesters of admission. Credits earned do not count toward the MPA requirement.
Degree Requirements
The MPA degree program requires 36 graduate credits—18 in core courses, 15 in electives, and 3 for the master’s project. Up to 6 credits of 400-level courses may be taken as electives, with the approval of an adviser. In addition, a 9-credit internship is required of students who do not have at least three years of full-time relevant work experience that consists of supervisory, managerial, or professional work. The internship is waived for students with this experience before they enter the program or who gain it during the program.
REQUIRED CORE COURSES (18 credits)
P ADM 500, P ADM 502, P ADM 503, P ADM 505, P ADM 506, P ADM 510
ELECTIVE CONCENTRATION AREA (15 credits)
With the faculty adviser’s approval, a student selects 15 credits of electives. Concentrations offered are Government Administration, Health Care Management and Policy, Human Resources Management, Information Resource Management, Policy Analysis, and Criminal Justice, as well as the general Public Administration degree.
Examples of suitable elective courses: P ADM 507, P ADM 511, P ADM 512, P ADM 514, P ADM 515, P ADM 516, P ADM 522, P ADM 523, P ADM 524, P ADM 531, P ADM 532, P ADM 533, P ADM 534, P ADM 535, P ADM 550, P ADM 556, P ADM 557, P ADM 558, P ADM 561, P ADM 562, P ADM 563, P ADM 564, and P ADM 565. Courses listed under the Master of Health Administration program may also be taken: H ADM 539, H ADM 540, H ADM 541, H ADM 542, H ADM 543, H ADM 545, H ADM 546, H ADM 548, H ADM 551, H ADM 552.
MASTER’S PROJECT--P ADM 594
INTERNSHIP IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION--P ADM 595 (if required)
Ph.D. Program
The Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration provides a broad-based academic program combining conceptual foundations with research and analytical skills. The goal of the program is to educate professionals with the ability to create and apply knowledge through teaching, research, consulting, and management.
Graduates of the program work in such occupations as:
The Program retains the traditional requirements of the Ph.D. degree--advanced coursework, comprehensive examinations, residency, a research dissertation, final oral examination, and standards of excellence--in a program that allows students to combine study and work. Students may pursue the program on a full- or part-time basis. The emphasis is placed in critical thinking, research, writing, and mastery of a broad body of literature. In the emerging "information age," public administrators are both producers and consumers of research. The roles of administrator and scholar are increasingly blurred, as scientific reasoning and data gathering increasingly permeates public managerial decision making. Creating and accessing knowledge that is useful to address organizational and policy issues is increasingly important.
Application for Admission
To assure course availability and maximize progress, applicants should carefully consider when to apply to the Program and begin study. In general, students should plan to begin taking P ADM 570 (Scope and Methods of Public Administration) and other doctoral seminars during the Fall Semester.
The following information should also help applicants decide when to apply to the Program:
Fall Admission:
Admission Requirements
Applicants for the Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration should hold a masters degree in public administration, public policy, or a related field such as business, economics, political science, or sociology. Applicants with masters degrees in other fields also will be considered. Students may be required to take additional courses after admission to the program to make up for any deficiencies.
A student must have taken the following graduate courses as program prerequisites or corequisites: Public Organization and Management (P ADM 500), Introduction to Public Policy Analysis (P ADM 507), Research Methods (P ADM 503), and Organization Behavior (P ADM 510).
In addition, most applicants should have five years of relevant professional work experience.
Students are required to submit the following:
- a completed application, with the application fee
- two official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), with official verification
- three letters of reference attesting to both academic and professional capabilities (at least two of the three letters should be from academic sources, such as prior professors or academic advisors)
- a letter of approximately 500 words outlining significant work experience, career goals, and academic objectives
- a recent personal vita
- a substantial academic paper written for a previous graduate course(e.g. seminar paper)
Interviews: The Admissions Committee interviews individuals whose application material indicates they qualify for entry into the Program. These interviews may be face-to-face or by telephone. Interviews help assure a good fit between individual interests and the Program.
International Students
Application deadlines: International student application materials must meet the following deadlines:
January 30 for Fall, September 30 for Spring, February 28 for Summer.*
*Applications received after the deadlines will be processed for the following semester.Language Proficiency: International students must have received either the bachelors or masters degree from a program that uses English as the primary language.
Students for whom English is not a first language also are required to pass the Test of ENglish as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) [www.toefl.org(TOEFL)] with a score of 600 or higher (Paper-Based Test) or 250 (Computer-Based Test) or higher
Degree Requirements
Students progress through the following phases and take the required courses indicated as part of their study for the Ph.D.
Precandidacy and Provisional Admission --Applicants who do not have necessary background, but otherwise meet the criteria for admission may be admitted provisionally and must (1) make up any deficiencies in graduate courses in public administration noted in the letter of acceptance, (2) complete P ADM 570 (Scope and Methods), P ADM 575 (Research Design), and at least one course from the P ADM 571, P ADM 572, P ADM 573, and P ADM 574 seminar series, with an average of 3.5 or better, and (3) pass a candidacy exam. Students who must make up deficiencies are considered to be provisionally admitted into the program. A student may remain in this temporary classification for a period of no longer than two semesters following admission. Upon successful completion of the requisite courses noted in the letter (with a 3.5 grade point average), the student will be removed from provisional status and be regularly enrolled. It is to be emphasized that the provisional condition must be met before a student reaches an academic benchmark (doctoral candidacy, comprehensive, and final oral examination). A student will not be permitted to graduate with a provisional status remaining on his or her record.
Comprehensive Examination--Candidates take additional course work to prepare for comprehensive examinations in three subfields of study, complete a period of residency, and write the Ph.D. dissertation. The three formal subfields of specialization are: organization theory and behavior, policy analysis and governance, and public management. Additional subfields of study, such as Health Care Management and Policy, Criminal Justice, Management Information Systems, and Training and Development may be selected with the approval of the student’s doctoral committee.
Residency--A period of two consecutive semesters of concentrated study and research as a full-time student--9 credits per semester.
The Dissertation--Under guidance from the dissertation committee, the candidate prepares a detailed research proposal that serves as the basis for the written dissertation. The writing and defense of this original contribution to the theory of public administration is the capstone to the Ph.D. program.
Grade Point Average and Time Limit
Part-time students can complete the program in approximately seven to eight years of continuous study. Full time students may complete the Program in four to five years. Students must have a 3.50 grade-point average to graduate.
Financial Aid
There are a limited number of scholarships, fellowships, and research grants available, as well as graduate assistantships. Many students work full-time and take classes part-time. In many cases, employers have a tuition-reimbursement plan paying for partial or full tuition. To find other options available to you, contact the Financial Aid Office at 717-948-6307.

ADMINISTRATION (P ADM)
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, JURIS DOCTOR AND MASTER OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (J.D./M.P.A.)
Degrees Conferred: J.D./M.P.A.
The Dickinson School of Law of The Pennsylvania State University and the School of Public Affairs of Penn State Harrisburg, the Capital College, offer a cooperative program leading to the degrees of Juris Doctor, to be granted by Dickinson, and Master of Public Administration, to be granted by Penn State Harrisburg.
Admission Requirements
In order to be admitted to the program, students must first be admitted to The Dickinson School of Law under its regular admission procedures. Dickinson need not forward applications of all DSL admittees who have expressed interest in the MPA program and can withhold support for some admittees until they have demonstrated proficiency in their legal studies and a capacity for dual degree study. Penn State Harrisburg will make independent admissions decisions as to all dual degree applicants.
The Dickinson Admissions Office requires: application forms for DSL and PSH Graduate School, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), a completed LSDAS report, a one-page personal statement, employment record since high school, and two recommendations.
The Penn State Harrisburg Admissions Office requires: completed applications (Graduate School and MPA), with the application fee; evidence of a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college; a statement of career and educational goals; a successful undergraduate record with a grade-point average of 3.0 (either as the cumulative GPA or for the last 60 hours of relevant course work); satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or Law School Admission Test (LSAT) if junior–senior or cumulative GPA is less than 3.0); and three names of references willing to provide recommendations.
Prerequisites
All students admitted to the MPA program must show prerequisite course work in statistics and statistical software with a satisfactory grade. Students without prior course work in statistics must fulfill this prerequisite within two semesters of admission. Credits earned do not count toward the J.D./M.P.A. degree.
Degree Requirements
To be eligible to earn the Juris Doctor degree, a candidate must: earn credit for 88 semester hours of course work, have a cumulative average of at least 70.00, complete all required courses (currently totaling 41 semester hours) plus at least one seminar, and complete six semesters in residence.
The MPA degree program requires 36 graduate credits—18 in core courses, 15 in electives, and 3 for the Master’s Project.
A maximum of 9 credits for Dickinson School of Law course work may be transferred for credit toward the MPA degree at Penn State Harrisburg, subject to Harrisburg’s approval based on relevance to the MPA program.
A maximum of 9 credits for MPA course work with a grade of B or better may be transferred for credit toward the J.D. degree at Dickinson. Courses for which such credit may be applied shall be subject to approval by the Dickinson faculty.
It is anticipated that students will complete a minimum of 79 credits from Dickinson and 27 credits (not including the internship) from Penn State Harrisburg in order to earn the J.D. and M.P.A. degrees. A student in the program, however, may obtain either degree prior to completing all requirements for the other degree. Students must earn at least a 3.0 grade-point average to be eligible for the M.P.A. degree.
