The Penn State Erie M.B.A. is a general degree emphasizing development of the planning and problem-solving skills crucial in middle and upper management. Course work emphasizes the integration of business functions and the practical application of theory in the business world, using simulated problems and actual situations students are experiencing at work. Nearly all students are fully employed professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom. Both full-time and part-time study are possible and the program can be completed by attending evening and Saturday classes.
Admission is granted only to candidates who demonstrate high promise of success for graduate work. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Applicants are required to take the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) administered by the Educational Testing Service, Box 966, Princeton, NJ 08541; telephone (609) 771-7330.
Admission decisions are based on the following: undergraduate grade-point average; the degree of correspondence between the applicant's objectives and those of the program; three letters of reference; and GMAT score. Favorable consideration will be given to applicants who have significant work experience. An applicant's GMAT score plus undergraduate grade-point average (multiplied by 200) must total at least 1,000 to meet minimum requirements for admission. A minimum GMAT score of 400 is required. Entering graduate students for whom English is not the first language are required to have a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of at least 550 on the paper-based test and at least 213 on the computer-based test. All applicants must have completed an undergraduate course in calculus. Admission is open during the fall and spring semesters, as well as during the summer session.
Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in writing by having earned a grade of B or higher in a college English composition or writing course or by achieving a score of four or higher on the GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment. Students who fail to meet at least one of these two criteria must complete a college English composition or writing course and earn a grade of B or higher or retake the GMAT test and score four or higher on the Analytical Writing Assessment. This requirement must be satisfied during either the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation.
All students must be computer literate and have ready and reliable access to a computer and the Internet to successfully complete the MBA program. Students must know how to use word processing software, log-on to an Internet provider, and use E-mail. Additionally, MBS students must have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.
The Master of Business Administration degree program consists of three parts:
Applicants who have, within seven years prior to the date of their admission to degree candidacy, completed a baccalaureate degree in business from an accredited institution that includes course content equivalent to the foundation core courses may be exempted from part or all of this requirement as long as the previously completed courses carry grades of B or higher. An applicant who, within seven years prior to his or her admission to degree candidacy, completed a baccalaureate degree in a non-business field from an accredited institution that includes equivalent undergraduate or graduate courses carrying a grade of B or higher also may be exempted from relevant portions of the foundation core courses. Applicants who have maintained currency of knowledge through relevant business experience and continuing professional education in one or more of the areas within the foundation core courses and who completed relevant course work more than seven years prior to admission to degree status may also be exempted from relevant portions of foundation core requirements. Exemption from foundation core requirements is granted in accordance with the course exemption guidelines for the MBA program.
All students are required to complete this requirement which includes B ADM 510, 511, 512, 513, and 514 unless they can demonstrate advanced knowledge of the course subject matter through prior course work, extensive experience and/or advanced professional education. Students who believe they have knowledge of an advanced required course must submit a written request and documentation describing their knowledge of the course subject matter. If approved, the student will substitute an additional elective course for the advanced required course.

The program is professionally oriented and designed to prepare students for employment in industry or government. Courses emphasize practical concerns as well as the relevant theoretical background. The program will provide appropriate background for diverse tasks such as developing scientific and engineering applications, developing system software, developing safety or security critical systems, solving computationally hard problems, and developing distributed applications. While not intended as preparation for subsequent entrance to a Ph.D. program, this goal is not precluded. Once the specific course requirements are met, appropriate selection of electives will enable individual interests to be met within the program. Anticipated areas of interest include software engineering, systems programming, and artificial intelligence.
In addition to the
general Graduate School requirements, applicants must present a baccalaureate
degree in Computer Science or a related field from an accredited institution.
A minimum GPA of 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale) is required. While a bachelor's degree
in Computer Science is not required, admission without deficiency requires
that an applicant has completed courses in analysis of algorithms, operating
systems, database, and linear algebra. If these courses are not taken before
admission to the program, they may be taken at Penn State Harrisburg, but
the student will receive at most 3 credits toward the MS degree for these
courses.
At the discretion of the program, applicants may be
required to provide scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and/or the
GRE subject test in computer science. In addition, applicants must provide
three letters of reference, at least one of which is from an academic source,
and a letter outlining significant work experience and academic and career
objectives.
A total of 30 graduate credits (400-level or above) is required for the degree of master of science in Computer Science. Students are required to take the following courses: MA SC 505 and COMP 511, 512, and 519. Additionally, students are required to complete either a thesis or a paper according to one of the two options described below. Students who believe that they have completed a course substantially similar to one of the specific course requirements may apply to have their previous work evaluated for the purpose of exemption to that requirement. If the exemption is granted, another approved course shall be taken in place of that required course. The remaining 18 credits must be completed according to one of the following options:
A maximum of 9 transfer credits will be allowed for course work completed as a graduate student at another institution.
For students with
interests in the areas of software engineering, systems programming, and artificial
intelligence, the program suggests the following course work. These tracks
are only advisory--there is no requirement that a student follow any track,
and tracks will not be noted on diplomas or transcripts.
Track in Software Engineering: Students
following the track in software engineering will be provided with the conceptual
tools needed for designing and managing large software systems. In addition
to the required core, the track in software engineering consists of the following
courses: COMP 513, 516, INFSY 570. In addition to these courses, COMP 418
is highly recommended, as compiler development is an ideal environment for
gaining practical experience with software engineering techniques and tools.
Track in Systems Programming: Students
following the track in systems programming will receive instruction in both
the conceptual foundation of systems software and the implementation of such
systems. In addition to the required core, the track in systems programming
consists of the following courses: COMP 421, 517, 545.
Track in Artificial Intelligence:
Students following the track in artificial intelligence are expected to gain
an understanding in the theory and applications of AI methods as well as evolutionary
methods for solving a variety of problems. In addition to the required core,
the track in artificial intelligence consists of the following courses: COMP
520, 524, 556.
For further information, see: www.hbg.psu.edu

Professional preparation is offered at the master's level for school counselors (elementary and secondary), college counselors or persons entering college student personnel services, chemical dependency counselors, and rehabilitation counselors. Credits required by different master's options vary from 42 to 54. Specifically, program options at the master's level include elementary school counseling (54 credits hours), secondary school counseling (54 credit hours), college counseling (48 credit hours), chemical dependency (42 credit hours), and rehabilitation counseling (51 credit hours).
The Ph.D. program prepares candidates for positions as counselor education faculty members and requires 76 credit hours beyond the master's degree in counselor education. The D.Ed. program prepares students to become supervisors of counseling services and requires 52 credit hours beyond the master's degree in counselor education.
Scores from 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. All candidates for graduate degrees in Counselor Education
must present for admission at least 27 undergraduate credits with a GPA of
3.00 or better distributed among at least three of the following areas: economics,
education, psychology, sociology, and physiology or anatomy.
Students with a 2.50 junior/senior average (on a scale of 4.00) and with appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students. Exceptions to the minimum 2.50 grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests. All doctoral candidates should present at least a 3.33 average in all graduate study completed.
All doctoral applicants must have completed a master's degree in counselor education prior to admission into the Ph.D. or D.Ed. program. The master's degree must be comprised of 48 credit hours as specified by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
All candidates are
expected to exhibit, in addition to academic competence, effectiveness in
interpersonal relations and in both written and oral communication. They also
must evidence support of professional counseling activities and organizations.
All degree options require students to participate in extensive practicum
or fieldwork experience under supervision.
The Ph.D. program includes 76 credit hours beyond the master's degree in counselor education. The master's degree must be comprised of 48 credit hours as specified by CACREP. Ph.D. students must satisfy advanced degree requirements in the CACREP counselor education core areas (31 credit hours including a counseling and teaching internship), a minor field of study (15 credit hours), and empirical foundations (15 credit hours). In addition, students in the Ph.D. program are expected to complete a dissertation (a minimum of 15 dissertation credit hours) involving independent and original research. Students are expected to use theoretical models of counseling to investigate problems of importance to the field. The additional credits in the Ph.D. program incorporate advanced coursework in research design, statistics, and counseling theory to prepare students for their subsequent roles as a faculty members in counselor education programs.
The D.Ed. Program includes 52 credit hours beyond the master's degree in counselor education. The master's degree must be comprised of 48 credit hours as specified by CACREP. Students in the D.Ed. program in Counselor Education must satisfy degree requirements in core counselor education courses (7 credit hours), empirical foundations (15 credit hours), and a counseling specialty area (15 credit hours) such as : career guidance, administration, planning, and management in service delivery settings, and a minor field of study. D.Ed. students must complete a dissertation (15 dissertation credit hours) that is of practical significance to the delivery or administration of counseling services.
All Ph.D./D.Ed. students are required to have a master's degree in counselor education prior to admission. After completion of 12 credits of doctoral study, which may allow the student to take the candidacy examination as early as the second semester in their doctoral program, Ph.D. and D.Ed. students may take a candidacy examination. Given the requirement that doctoral students will have a master's degree in counselor education thereby demonstrating their ability to complete graduate work successfully, the nature of the candidacy examination will include a review of the following by the student's candidacy committee: (1) the student's professional resume, (2) a statement regarding the general direction of the student's research interests and possible areas of dissertation inquiry, (3) grades from completed graduate courses, (4) proposed course of study for subsequent semesters, (5) selected graduate papers written by the student, and (6) a statement regarding the student's professional goals. In the candidacy examination, the student's candidacy committee determines the student's ability to continue in the program and to conduct doctoral research.
Both Ph.D. and D.Ed. candidates are required to take a written and oral comprehensive examination once their course work is completed (or when they are in their final semester of required coursework) and prior to the dissertation. The examination, prepared by the student's doctoral committee, covers all areas of the student's doctoral work both in and outside the field of counselor education. The comprehensive examination for Ph.D. students must include an assessment of the student's competence related to conducting independent and original research.
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 work in the Educational Leadership Program encompasses two major strands or paths. The first strand focuses on those who want to engage in a wide variety of leadership roles within and directly affecting schools and districts. These roles include, but are not limited to teacher leadership, instructional leadership, principal leadership, and district-level leadership. This strand may also lead to certification and/or letters of endorsement in supervision, the principalship or the superintendency. The second strand focuses on those who want to exercise leadership roles in educational policy arenas and/or engage in educational research. Some of the possible roles include, intermediate unit officials, state and federal agency administrators and staff, professors of educational administration, and research and development personnel.
Scores from the
Miller Analogies Test (MAT) are required for admission to the doctoral programs
in Educational Leadership. When the MAT is not available (e.g., some
overseas locations), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores may be substituted.
At the discretion of a graduate program, a student may be admitted provisionally.
Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements
stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION
section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Applicants
to the M.Ed. and M.S. degree programs must present evidence of at least a
2.60 grade-point average in the last two years of undergraduate work. A grade-point
average of 3.50 in prior graduate work is required of those desiring admission
to enter a doctoral program. The best-qualified students will be accepted
up to the number of spaces available. Special backgrounds and experiences
may allow for conditional admission to those not meeting stated criteria.
More details concerning the degree and certification programs are presented in a prospectus that is available upon request.
All candidates for
the M.Ed. and M.S. degrees will complete a minimum of 30 graduate credits.
Certification for various public school administrative positions requires
additional graduate work beyond the master's degree and such requirements
as specified in the program prospectus.
M.Ed. students must submit a master's paper. M.S. degree students are expected to submit a thesis.
Candidates for the
D.Ed. degree are required to spend at least one semester and one summer session
consecutively in full-time residence during a twelve-month period. Ph.D. candidates
are strongly encouraged to spend two academic years in residence, but must
spend at least two consecutive semesters in residence. D.Ed. candidates may
satisfy the residence requirement in another manner consistent with Graduate
School policy, including attendance at the day-long seminars offered weekly
every other academic year. Candidates for all degrees are required to combine
work in the social sciences and humanities with the specialization in Educational
Leadership.
Expectations of
candidates for both the D.Ed. and Ph.D. are high in the field of research
competence and require the ability to identify and conceptualize a research
problem for the thesis. The D.Ed. is more appropriate for those with career
goals in administration and policy making. The Ph.D. is more appropriate for
those with career goals in research and scholarship.
After the doctoral student has been admitted to a doctoral program and has completed forty to forty-five hours beyond the bachelor's degree, his or her name is usually submitted for candidacy. After a student is admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree, he or she takes the comprehensive written and oral examinations. After those are successfully completed, the student presents a thesis problem on a significant, researchable topic, evidenced by a prospectus to the doctoral committee for review.
American Indian students participate in a special administrator preparation program. Foreign students can work on research topics in their home nations.
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.

Program Description
The Master of Science in Information Sciences and Technology is an interdisciplinary degree program that focuses on the theoretical, application-oriented, and educational issues facing a digital, global economy. The program is designed to build an understanding of how information and technology fundamentally impact (and are impacted by) people, organizations, and the world community. Topical areas within IST span a broad range including: human computer interaction, computational techniques, applications (e.g., bio-informatics and geographical information systems), societal issues (such as digital divide issues), user issues (e.g., computer-aided cognition), and information systems design and development providing exposure and grounding in many of the aspects of the information sciences. The program is especially attractive to students interested in gaining state-of-the-art understanding of information technology and its use as a solution in multiple venues.
Admissions Requirements
Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin. Applicants are required to submit scores from the general portions of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), three letters of reference, and a one-page personal statement of relevant experience and goals.
Since the program is multidisciplinary in nature, majors from almost any discipline may be accepted for entry into the program. An undergraduate (or graduate) degree in a related area (e.g., computer science, information science), while not necessary for admission, is helpful in the successful completion of the degree. It is expected that students regardless of type or level of academic background will have a basic level of competency in statistics (a minimum of 6 credits in undergraduate and/or graduate coursework), computer language (a minimum of 6 credits of coursework in a computer language or languages), and information technology (coursework or work experience that demonstrates a basic understanding of information technology beyond a computer language). A student may be accepted into the program with "provisional status" for no more than one year while work is completed to meet these expectations.
It is expected that the successful applicant have an overall grade-point average of at least 3.00 (4.00 scaled) in their undergraduate studies (and/or graduate-level studies). The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students.
Competency in the English language for candidates whose native language is not English can be demonstrated by a score of 585 (paper-based) or 240 (computer-based) or better in the TOEFL examination combined with a score of 250 or higher on the Test of Spoken English. Applicants with scores below but close to 585 (or 240) may be admitted provisionally upon the recommendation of the associate dean for research and graduate programs in IST and allowed to remediate a deficient TOEFL score as specified in the Graduate School admissions policies.
Degree Requirements
The M.S. in Information Sciences and Technology requires a minimum of 32 credits, 27 of which must be earned at University Park. These credits are distributed among the following requirements:
Core Courses (14 credits). All candidates are expected to develop a broad understanding of the core constructs of people, information, technology, and the significant interactions among those elements through taking the four-course core plus two graduate colloquia offered by the school.
Support Area (6 credits). A candidate is expected to choose an area customized to support the thesis requirement. A support area could be a selection of courses in law, business, education, engineering, the liberal arts, science, or any area that is linked to the information sciences.
Research Methods (6 credits). All candidates must develop a basic understanding of the scientific research process, statistical techniques, and research methods utilized in the information sciences.
Thesis (6 credits). All students must write a thesis. The thesis should focus on a well-defined problem relevant to the information sciences. The student must present the thesis in a public presentation and successfully defend the thesis to the adviser and committee.
Language and Communication. All candidates must be competent in the English language and must have demonstrated skills in the communication of ideas both orally and in writing commensurate with the requirement of professional work. The foreign language and communication requirement may be fulfilled through demonstrating computer language proficiency (assessed through courses taken).
Admission Requirements
Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin. Applicants are required to submit scores from the general portions of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), three letters of reference, and a one-page personal statement of relevant experience and goals.

or better in the TOEFL examination combined with a score of 250 or higher on
the Test of Spoken English. Applicants with scores below but close to 585 (or
240) may be admitted provisionally upon the recommendation of the associate
dean for research and graduate programs in IST and allowed to remediate a deficient
TOEFL score as specified in the Graduate School admissions policies.

The graduate programs emphasize productive scholarship and research in the development of nursing knowledge and the translation of knowledge into practice. Advanced study is in human health and development throughout the life span, and in nursing's role in providing health services to individuals, families, and communities.
The Ph.D. program prepares nurse scientists and clinical scholars
to provide leadership in nursing education, practice and research. Individualized
curricula prepare nursing graduates to assume positions as faculty, advanced
clinicians, clinical researchers and leadership positions in community, governmental,
or institutional settings.
The M.S. degree prepares advanced practice nurses as clinical nurse
specialists or nurse practitioners. Four options are offered within the major
of Nursing: Adult/Older Adult Health, Community Health, Family Nurse Practitioner
or Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. The master's program in Nursing is accredited
by the National League for Nursing.
The Family Nurse Practitioner and Neonatal Nurse Practitioner options
are designed to help prepare the professional nurse to function in an expanded
nursing role providing direct care to specific groups of clients in both primary
and acute care settings. Since that practice is inherently interdisciplinary
in nature, advanced knowledge and research from nursing is combined with knowledge
from science, medicine and related disciplines.
The Adult/Older Adult Health Nursing and Community Health Nursing options prepare advanced practice nurses in a specialty field to plan, implement and evaluate care in a variety of settings. They function in direct care, supervisory, consultative, teaching and research roles serving individuals, families and communities. The Adult/Older Adult Health Nursing option incorporates a minor or an intensive concentration in a related discipline to support specialization or role function. The incorporation of a graduate minor or intensive concentration further supports their specialization or role development. For example, a student with an interest in geriatrics may complete the nursing core and the interdisciplinary minor in gerontology, while another student may complete the nursing core with an intensive concentration in education.
Applicants who exhibit exceptional qualities without meeting all of the stated
requirements for admission may be considered on an individual basis for
provisional admission while removing identified deficiencies. Deficiencies must
be rectified within the first two semesters in the program; courses taken to
remove deficiencies are considered to be prerequisites and do not earn credit
toward the degree.
A core of courses including nursing issues, theory and research is required of all students. Candidates in the Adult/Older Adult Health or Community Health options must earn a minimum of 39 credits (including the graduate minor or intensive concentration). In the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner option, a minimum of 51 credits is required; and in the Family Nurse Practitioner option, the requirement is a minimum of 56 credits. Students in all options may choose to do either a thesis for 6 credits or a scholarly paper for 3 credits. The scholarly paper option is designed to be as academically rigorous as the thesis option. A scholarly paper demonstrates the application of theory and research to a clinical problem based on review of literature and research utilization for that problem.
Candidacy
Examination: All students must
satisfactorily complete the candidacy examination, which is designed to confirm
the student's mastery of basic nursing theory and research methods. For
students entering the doctoral program with a master's degree, the candidacy
examination must be taken before the end of the first year of full-time study
or the equivalent. Students who fail the examination on the first attempt may
repeat it once. Students who fail the examination the second time are
terminated from the program.
Comprehensive Examination: The
comprehensive examination is designed to test the student's mastery of and
ability to synthesize and integrate the theoretical basis for nursing science,
advanced research methods and the chosen specialty area. This examination is
taken upon completion of all course work. Students who fail the examination on
the first attempt may repeat it once. Students who fail the examination the
second time are terminated from the program.
English Competency: All students will be assessed for deficiencies in reading,
writing and speaking of English during the core nursing courses prior to the
candidacy examination; and should remedial work be necessary, the student will
be directed to the appropriate sources. International students will be advised
that the passage of the minimal TOEFL requirement does not demonstrate the
level of competence expected of a Ph.D. in nursing.
Communication and Language Requirement: A foreign language will not be required. However, all students are
required to be computer literate in word processing and use of statistical
packages, as determined by their dissertation committee, and will be assessed
for communication skills during core nursing courses.
Dissertation: Each student is
required to conduct an original and independent research project that adds to
nursing's body of knowledge, and to communicate the research report in a
written dissertation. A written dissertation proposal is required and must be
approved at a proposal hearing by a majority vote of the student's dissertation
committee. A majority vote is also required for approval of the completed
written dissertation at the final oral defense.
In addition to the
fellowships, traineeships, graduate assistantships and other forms of financial
aid described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin, the following awards typically have been available
to graduate students in this program:

Special Interdisciplinary Majors--In addition to the graduate major programs listed in this bulletin, special individualized interdisciplinary doctoral majors may occasionally be arranged with the approval of the dean of the Graduate School. These programs are planned, reviewed, and carried out under the supervision of appropriate interdepartmental or intercollege committees.
Because such programs are individually planned, each must be unique. A special interdisciplinary program will be considered for development and possible approval only if no existing graduate program can meet the needs of the student.
Individualized
degree programs are not available at the master's degree level. Normally, a
student considering an individualized interdisciplinary doctoral program should
present a master's degree as one of his or her qualifications.
