The Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB) is an upper-division, professionally oriented business degree for individuals who are seeking general preparation in business. The degree combines the theoretical underpinnings of core business disciplines, notably management, marketing, finance, and logistics, with applied study in a practical setting, especially the small-business climates across most of the Commonwealth. Through the choice of an 18-credit option, students develop a specialty related to a key business sector. Students also develop written and oral communication skills throughout the program, acquire contemporary computer skills, and engage in active and collaborative learning. The degree allows students throughout the Commonwealth to become familiar with the unique business environments of their local communities, a design that sets the degree apart from other business degrees offered both within the University and throughout the Commonwealth.
The associate degree in business administration at Penn State articulates with the degree. Advanced-standing students from other accredited colleges or universities will be admitted only with specified grade-point averages established annually in accordance with University policy.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPTION (offered only at the Altoona College): Preparation for a variety of entrepreneurial careers from starting a new business venture to working as an intrapreneur within a larger organization.
FINANCIAL SERVICES OPTION: Preparation for positions in community financial organizations such as banks, real estate firms, insurance brokers, investment firms, and credit companies.
HEALTH SERVICES OPTION: Development of a background in the financial and administrative aspects of health care enterprises such as hospitals, managed-care organizations, clinical practices, and physicians' offices.
INDIVIDUALIZED BUSINESS OPTION: The selection of 18 credits of study based on an individualized plan of study submitted by the student and approved by an advisor. The option allows the tailoring of a program of study to suit specific student needs.
MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT OPTION: An emphasis on the skills and knowledge necessary for the business professional to function in community and regional centers of commerce.
For the B.S. degree in Business, a minimum of 122 credits is required, 15 of which must be at the 400 level.

PROFESSOR CRAIG T. HOUGHTON, in charge, Penn State Mont Alto, Penn State University Park
The objectives of the major are to train forestry field personnel in the technical aspects of evaluating, managing, and protecting forest resources. Laboratories held in the Michaux State Forest, adjacent to Penn State Mont Alto, stress field applications of classroom theory. Both written and oral communication skills are stressed in all courses. Graduates of the program are employed by private businesses including forestry consulting firms, sawmills, and other wood products manufacturers; public agencies including federal, state, and municipal forest resource management and recreation programs; urban tree service companies, pulp and paper manufacturers, surveying firms and landscaping firms, utility companies, and other businesses requiring personnel skilled in field inventory procedures, analysis, and presentation.
Some graduates transfer their credits to bachelor’s degree programs such as
forest science, fisheries and wildlife and fisheries science, recreation and parks
management, wood products, environmental resource management, soil science,
biology, and business management.
For the Associate in Science degree in Forest Technology, a minimum of 67 credits is required.

DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR SIMON J. BRONNER, Program Coordinator
American Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the patterns of life and thought of the American peoples, past and present. Its courses are grouped into three general areas of history, society, and culture, and it has special offerings in public history and heritage studies, material culture, and cultural history. The program encourages students to integrate theories, methods, and findings from various fields, including history, literature, folklore, ethnography, politics, art, architecture, and music. It also encourages applications of this knowledge to public history and cultural conservation. American Studies helps students prepare for further study or careers in education, government, communication, law, museums, historical and cultural agencies, and archives. Internships are available for qualified students in American Studies. The internship is an extension of the student's academic studies and is an opportunity to gain practical experience.
A student seeking admission to the American Studies Minor must first be admitted to a major at Penn State. Upon admission, a Minor Advisor will be appointed from within the American Studies faculty to guide the student. For the American Studies Minor, a total of 18 credits is required. At least 6 credits must be at the 400 level.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

PROFESSOR STEPHEN SCHAPPE, in charge
This interdisciplinary minor provides students in all majors with a business-oriented supplement to their major fields of study. It is intended to provide a set of basic skills that complement the unique competencies gained in their non-business disciplines. It is strongly recommended that students taking this minor elect at least one course in mathematics through college calculus, and a second course in descriptive and inferential statistics, as part of their General Education requirements or electives for the major. Students taking this minor may not have more than 25 percent of their total credits for graduation in business courses, and must receive a grade of C or better in all courses required for the minor. Students pursuing the Business Administration minor should apply to the School of Business Administration and select business courses in consultation with a business advisor.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR SAMUEL P. WINCH, Program Coordinator
Communications is an interdisciplinary program that combines practical, professional instruction with critical and cultural examinations of mass media. Our interdisciplinary and theoretical approach enables our students to understand the contextual relationships between contemporary media and ethics, history, drama, and art, as well as the mechanics of emerging information technologies. We feature small classes, a multidisciplinary faculty with real-world professional experience, high-technology laboratories, and an excellent location for media internships. This major prepares students for careers in areas such as public relations, journalism, graphic design, advertising, media production, and telecommunications. Because of our analytical approach, students can use the major to prepare for postgraduate studies.
For a B.HUM. degree in Communications a minimum of 120 credits are required.
Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Communications major requires a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average.
Change of Assignment Recommendation:
Students should generally have completed most of their General Education requirements. A limited number of 001-200 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg for students who need lower division courses.
Students should request a change-of-assignment to Penn State Harrisburg during their fourth semester, to be effective for the next semester of enrollment.

This interdisciplinary major is designed to give students an integrated and critical understanding of the experiences and contributions of peoples of African descent. Students are encouraged to do research and evaluate the relationship between the political, social, and economic developments in Africa and the African Diaspora. Two options are available within the major and are described here.
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES OPTION:
This option provides students with the opportunity to explore the experiences
of African Americans using theories and methods originating in the field along
with those adopted from the various disciplines. Students are also made aware
of the potential to apply knowledge to discern better approaches for solving
social, political, and economic problems. The curriculum also promotes greater
understanding of the relationship between African American and other ethnic
groups in the shaping of American society and culture.
Focus Areas: The African American Studies Option has three focus areas, which are described below.
AFRICAN STUDIES OPTION:
This option provides students with the opportunity to examine the geographical,
