WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP OPTION: The Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship is a graduate option intended to provide enhanced educational opportunities for students with an interest in water resources management who are enrolled in a graduate degree program within Forest Resources. The objective of the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship is to educate students to facilitate team-oriented, community-based watershed management planning directed at water resources problems encountered in Pennsylvania communities, especially non-point source water pollution. The Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship requires 22 credits of graduate coursework: 12 credits of breadth courses, 2 credits of special watershed stewardship seminar course (FOR 591A and FOR 591B or LARCH 510.2), and 8 credits of new Watershed Stewardship courses (FOR 570 and FOR 571 or LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2). Breadth courses will consist of 3 graduate credits of coursework from each of four subject matter areas: 1) water resources science, 2) social science, public policy and economics, 3) humanities, and 4) communications and design. The cornerstone of the watershed stewarship program will be the 8-credit, two-couse sequence, FOR 570 - Introduction to Watershed Stewardship (3 credits) and FOR 571 - Experience in Watershed Stewardship (5 credits) or LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2 in which students will work in teams with community, government, and business leaders to analyze and understand natural resources problems and creatively synthesize appropriate solutions in the form of a written watershed management plan.

A representative pattern of scheduling for the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship in addition to a student's other degree requirements might be:

First Year:	Second Year:
Fall Semester	Fall Semester
Breadth electives - 6 credits	FOR 570 or LARCH 540.2 - 3 credits
FOR 591A--Watershed Stewardship or LARCH 510.2
Colloquium 1 credit

Spring Semester	Spring Semester
Breadth electives - 6 credits	FOR 571 or LARCH 550.2 - 5 credits
FOR 591B - Watershed Stewardship or LARCH 510.2
Colloquium 1 credit

A list of acceptable breadth courses from each discipline will be provided in the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship Handbook. Students will be allowed to petition to the Center for Watershed Stewardship to substitute higher level or equivalent courses in a major field to suit their specific backgrounds and goals. Courses taken for the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship may be used to satisfy other equivalent (400- or 500-level) degree requirements with concurrence of their adviser and graduate committee. The graduate committee for a student enrolled in the Option in Watershed Stewardship should include a faculty representative from the Center for Watershed Stewardship.

Students enrolled in M.F.R., M.Agr., M.S. or Ph.D. degree programs within the School of Forest Resources and other participating programs may apply to participate in the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship. Watershed Stewardship Option students enrolled in an M.F.R. or M.Agr. degree program, which requires a professional paper rather than a thesis, could write their professional paper on a topic that directly contributes to their overall watershed management plan prepared as part of FOR 570 and FOR 571 or LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2 classes.

Students applying for Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship must first be admitted to a graduate program within the School of Forest Resources or other particpating departments. Admissions requirements are the same as for all graduate studies in the School of Forest Resources and the Graduate School of The Pennsylvania State University. Students admitted to a graduate degree program will then be considered for admission to the Graduate Option.

Watershed Stewardship Option

The pedagogic foundation of the graduate option in Watershed Stewardship is the integration of depth, breadth, and experience for each student. From their undergraduate background, students will bring a focus that will be enhanced via graduate level coursework in their field (LARCH 520, LARCH 530). They will also be required to take graduate courses in watershed related disciplines outside their own major: the breadth requirements. And through community focused experience of at least 8 credits of Keystone Projects (LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2, and/or LARCH 600 or FOR 570 and FOR 571) and at least 2 credits of seminars (LARCH 510.2 or FOR 591A and FOR 591B), students will be challenged to analyze and understand watersheds and creatively synthesize community appropriate solutions.

The graduate option in Watershed Stewardship will be linked to the newly established Center for Watershed Stewardship, a joint initiative of the Department of Landscape Architecture and the School of Forest Resources. The Director and Associate Director of the Center for Watershed Stewardship will coordinate the graduate option in Watershed Stewardship and advise students electing the option.

The degree requirements for the graduate option in Watershed Stewardship are the same as those for the Master of Landscape Architecture degree program. Students in the graduate option in Watershed Stewardship will elect 2 credits of LARCH 510.2 or FOR 591A and FOR 591B Watershed Stewardship graduate seminar sections focused on watershed stewardship in their first year, and at least 8 credits of LARCH 540.2 and LARCH 550.2, and/or LARCH 600 or FOR 570 and FOR 571 Watershed Stewardship sections for the Keystone Project in their second year.

Students in the graduate option in Watershed Stewardship will be required to take a minimum of 9 credits of elective coursework to ensure breadth of training in essential watershed stewardship subjects. Three credits of 400- or 500-level coursework will be required from each of the following three subject categories: (1) Water Resources Sciences, (2) Social Science, Public Policy, or Economics, and (3) Humanities.

A sample list of breadth courses from each discipline will be provided in the Graduate Option in Watershed Stewardship Handbook. Breadth courses will not be limited to that sample list. Students will be allowed to petition to substitute higher level or equivalent courses in a major field to suit their specific backgrounds and goals. Breadth courses for each student must be approved by the Director of the Center for Watershed Stewardship and the student's adviser. Students will also be allowed to use courses in each category to satisfy their other degree requirements.

Exceptions can be made, at the discretion of the program, for students with special backgrounds, experiences, abilities and interests. Working experience in the petroleum and/or natural gas industry will be considered a plus in the admission consideration.

Master of Engineering Degree Requirement

A total of 33 credit hours will be required to complete the degree program of M. Eng. in Oil and Gas Engineering Management. Twenty-four credit hours will be taken from the focused areas (reservoir engineering, transmission and processing, porous media flow dynamics, production engineering). Additional six credits will be taken for the common courses (PNG 550 - Advanced Engineering Evaluation in Oil and Gas Management; PNG 551 - Advanced Risk Analysis in Oil and Gas Management). The final 3 credits are assigned to a comprehensive engineering project report (PNG 594 - Research Topics) to be taken under the supervision of a faculty adviser.

Other Relevant Information

Of the 24 credits required in the focused areas, at least 9 credits will be earned from structured graduate courses. The remaining 15 credits will be designed around the interest and experience of each candidate. This strategy is aimed at broadening the technical horizon of the candidate in anticipation for a career in the management. These customized course contents will be administered under the umbrella of PNG 595 and/or PNG 596; in so doing, the candidate will work with a Committee of faculty members who will design their appropriate internship program and administer a comprehensive examination at its conclusion.
