Equine Science Minor (EQ SC)

University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences

PROFESSOR TERRY D. ETHERTON, Department Head

The Equine Science Minor is designed for students who wish to supplement their academic major with studies in equine science. Students are required to complete a minimum of 21 credits. The core prescribed courses develop a foundation in the basic disciplines of animal science and equine science. Additional courses may be selected by the student to allow further specialization and expertise in equine behavior, exercise physiology and training principles, selection and judging, equine facilitated therapy, business/farm management, animal genetics and breeding, nutrition, and physiology. With completion of this minor, students will have a foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge along with learning skills for adapting to changes in equine industry. Courses that make up the minor are appropriate for students with and without prior academic or practical experience with horses. The University Horse Farms and the Agricultural Arena are used extensively for supplementing classroom work with hands-on laboratories. Completion of this minor will enhance a student's ability to work directly in horse production and management and allied industries, or continue academic studies in graduate or professional school.

A grade of C or better must be obtained in each course in order to complete the minor.

Wildlife and Fisheries Science (W F S)

University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences

PROFESSOR LARRY H. McCORMICK, Program Coordinator

The purpose of the Wildlife and Fisheries Science major is to develop the knowledge, skills, and professional ethics of undergraduates interested in the conservation and management of fish and wildlife and their environments. The curriculum is designed to provide a broad-based science background that incorporates natural resource management principles that prepare our students for a diverse array of opportunities such as graduate school, natural resource management agencies, consulting firms, non-profits, etc. Students can choose from two options: Wildlife option and Fisheries option. Each option enables students to gain greater depth of knowledge in one area of the discipline. Coursework required for the Wildlife option meets The Wildlife Society's requirements for professional certification, and coursework required for the Fisheries option meets the American Fisheries Society's requirements for professional certification.

For the B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science, a minimum of 120 credits is required for the Wildlife option and a minimum of 122 credits is required for the Fisheries option.

Professional Writing (PWRIT)

Berks-Lehigh Valley College: Penn State Berks, Penn State Lehigh Valley

The major is intended to prepare students to write effectively in a variety of workplace and academic settings. Methods of instruction draw upon the strategies and techniques of practicing writers outside of the University, including workshops, peer conferencing, collaborative writing, portfolio preparation, and internships. At the same time, theory courses provide the necessary background to help students understand and appreciate the larger issues surrounding the writing and reading of texts.

As a liberal arts degree, the Professional Writing major is appropriate for students who wish to develop a set of applied communication skills to prepare for a wide range of professional positions or for graduate or professional schools. The degree differs from most current English majors in at least three ways: 1) a practical orientation prepares graduates for employment, in addition to post-graduate English studies; 2) a multidisciplinary focus integrates courses from the liberal arts, business, and information technology; and 3) a required internship ensures that students actively apply their skills.

For the B.A. degree in Professional Writing, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

Psychology (PSYC)

Capital College

PROFESSOR MICHAEL A. BECKER, Program Coordinator, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education, Capital College

The Psychology major emphasizes the scientific study of human behavior in areas such as cognition, development, learning, physiology, personality, and social processes. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a broad background in psychological theory and research and to develop the analytical and critical thinking skills necessary to be good consumers of scientific information.

The Psychology program exposes students to a number of areas of psychology but allows flexibility in the specific courses that are taken in each sub-area. Students are also required to obtain applied experience by completing an internship or by assisting faculty with their research. Elective credits can be used for additional internship or research experience.

The Psychology program prepares students for careers in local, state, and federal government and for entry-level psychological services positions in human service, applied behavior, human resources, and related fields. The Psychology program also provides a strong background for graduate education at both the master's and the doctoral level in counseling, social work, and many areas of psychology.

For a B.S. degree in Psychology, a minimum of 122 credits is required.

The Public Policy major is designed for students interested in policy issues, politics, public administration, and related areas like policy analysis and policy advocacy. The program explores a myriad of critical issues facing our communities, the nation, and the world. Students receive the educational foundation for careers in the public sector, in government-related businesses, and in non-profit organizations, as well as for graduate work in the fields of law, public administration, criminal justice, public policy, political science, and health care administration. Building on the program core, students may choose electives from a broad array of courses in public policy and other areas. Students may wish but are not required to pursue a concentration within the Public Policy major. The following concentrations are available: U.S. Public Policy; Law and Justice; and International Policy. Students should consult their adviser for a complete listing of courses in each of these concentrations. Overall, the Public Policy program seeks to advance the ideals of an active, informated citizenry and a commitment to public service.

Our proximity to the state capital at Harrisburg provides students with a rich environment for both study and for internships. In addition to our full-time faculty, Public Policy draws on part-time faculty with particular professional strengths. In recent years students have explored politics and political issues in classes taught by a state senator, a former lieutenant governor, a corrections system administrator, and a governor's press secretary. This integration of academic study with the "real world" of Pennsylvania politics and policy making is further enhanced through quality internships. The Public Policy program prides itself in placing qualified students in internships that facilitate the development of professional skills and promote the prospects for professional employment following graduation. Internship options include the Harrisburg Semester: Public Service Leadership Internships (PSLI). (For more information, see www.hbg.psu.edu/hbg/hburgsem.) Students are encouraged to complete an internship during their senior year. Additional information regarding internships may be obtained by contacting the Public Policy Internship Coordinator.

For a B.S. degree in Public Policy, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

Admission Requirements for Transfer Students:
Transfer students must have a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average. The evaluation of prior college work is done on an individual basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at Penn State Harrisburg.

Structural Design and Construction Engineering Technology (SDCET)

Capital College

PROFESSOR JOSEPH J. CECERE, Program Chair

The program in Structural Design and Construction Engineering Technology provides the basic education required for the structural engineer and construction profession. Students learn the basic general engineering concepts needed for this major with emphasis on the fundamentals, structural design principles, and construction techniques through required course work. They are given the opportunity to focus in a discipline of construction management or structural design through a selected option or choose a broad general option. Courses in communication skills, arts, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and other engineering related areas broaden the program. Students gain experience in working as members of a team and in using interdisciplinary approaches to solve problems. These experiences, as well as those related to design and construction principles, are taught through exercises in the classroom, laboratory, and field. The program culminates with a capstone project course in which the students' knowledge and skills are applied to specific problems.

For the B.S. degree in Structural Design and Construction Engineering Technology, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

World Campus

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BBACC) is an upper-division, professionally oriented business degree program designed for students who are seeking a broad-based, general preparation in business. It is available in residential and online delivery formats through collaboration with the World Campus. The degree incorporates the theoretical underpinnings of core business disciplines, notably management, marketing, finance, and logistics, especially the small-business climates present across most of the Commonwealth. The degree focuses on the competencies that produce graduates who can think and write clearly, analyze and evaluate business data accurately, and collaborate with others effectively. The curriculum is consistent between the residential and online offerings and aims to meet standards for academic excellence.

Through the choice of an 18-credit option, students choose between concentrations in management or marketing. The degree is unique in its design, building learning around three disciplinary cores: a pre-degree core (19 credits), an intermediate core (24 credits), and an advanced core (12 credits).

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 in accordance with University policy.

MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary for careers as general managers who are able to deal effectively with employees in twenty-first century workplace environments.

MARKETING OPTION: This option helps provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for careers involving sales, promotion, services, distribution, and planning for business and the public sector.

For the B.S. degree in Business Administration, a minimum of 122 credits is required. Fifteen of these credits must be at the 400 level.

Communications (COMCC)

Commonwealth College: Penn State Beaver, Penn State Delaware County, Penn State McKeesport, Penn State New Kensington

With the rapid development of digital technologies over the last decade, the field of communications has seen unprecedented growth and convergence of medium in media both technologically and structurally. The communications degree program addresses strongly articulated employer requirements for the workplace through an integrated program model. The degree provides the basic theoretical foundations of the discipline, allows for appropriate branching outside the traditional curriculum, and permits a drawing from appropriate courses in the disciplines of information sciences and technology, communications, arts and sciences, English and business.

The degree in communications provides two options for students who wish to develop their written and verbal skills in an effort to gain professional employment in fields such as public relations, publishing, speech writing, video and multimedia, production, and/or journalism.

CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS OPTION: In extending traditional organizational communication and public relations to the digital age, this option prepares public relations specialists to compete in a global society. The program is also effective as preparation for e-commerce.

JOURNALISM OPTION: In today's workplace, journalism graduates are required to regularly engage rapidly converging media in their work. This option offers graduates a competitive advantage by complementing traditional options (newspaper, magazine, radio, TV) with convergent coursework designed to prepare students for professional journalism in the digital age.

For a B.A. degree in Communications, a minimum of 121 credits is required.

UNDERGRADUATE
College of Communications

32-05-044 Add new minor.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2004

University Park: College of Communications and College of the Liberal Arts

Professor Dennis Davis, in charge, Film-Video and Media Studies Department, College of Communications
Professor Thomas A. Hale, in charge, French Department, College of the Liberal Arts

The joint minor in Film Studies sponsored by the College of Communications and the College of the Liberal Arts offers students in a variety of disciplines outside of the College of Communications an opportunity to learn more about a visual medium that relates in many ways to other fields such as theatre, literature, history, and art. The focus of this minor is on critical, aesthetic, and historical studies of film, not on the art of filmmaking. The minor enables students to see how the medium influences--and is influenced by--disciplines outside their specialization. Courses listed for the minor give students a deeper appreciation of the historical development of film during the 20th century. Offerings on cinema from a variety of countries allow students to frame the medium in a global context.

The minor is housed in and administered by the College of Communications but is jointly managed by the Film-Video and Media Studies Department and the French Department. The heads of these units or their designated representatives will chair on a rotating basis the Interdepartmental Film Studies Committee that will make decisions concerning requirements for the minor, including prescribed and supporting courses. The minor is not available to students enrolled in any of the majors in the College of Communications.

Students will choose an adviser from a list of committee members drawn from all participating areas--French, English, German, Italian, Comparative Literature, and Film-Video and Media Studies. In addition to two basic required courses (6 credits), students enrolled in the minor will take an additional 12 credits from a list approved by the Interdepartmental Film Studies Committee. Six of those credits must be at the 400 level. All required and most supporting courses are taught in English. Courses taught in a foreign language are indicated with a footnote.

A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

Mining Engineering (MNG E)

University Park, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences

PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER J. BISE, Undergraduate Program Officer

The Mining Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

The undergraduate curriculum in mining engineering has been designed to enable students to apply the fundamentals necessary to achieve lifelong professional growth. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to pursue employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors as mining engineers, or will be able to pursue advanced education.

The courses are sequenced so that an appropriate blend of theory, applications, and project design is achieved. This enables the mining engineering student to appreciate and comprehend that a successful engineering design project requires a sound theoretical foundation, supported by experimentation and good engineering judgment. The program is designed such that the fundamentals of mathematics, earth, and engineering sciences are integrated into traditional mining engineering topics. Design projects, culminating in the capstone design project, are required throughout the curriculum. The proper execution of these projects requires an awareness of acceptable problem-formulation strategies, the testing of alternative design methodologies, feasibility studies, environmental impacts, and overall economic considerations.

Graduates of the program will be prepared to perform in the various steps of mineral extraction, including exploration, evaluation, development, recovery, and processing. The mining engineering faculty is committed to an interactive teaching and learning environment to ensure that the student plays an active role in the learning process. The general education opportunities are sufficiently broad and diverse in nature and scope to enable the student to tailor the educational experience to particular interests, backgrounds, and expected roles in society.

The integration of knowledge and skills acquired during the course of study enables the student and, ultimately, the graduates of this program to do the following:

• To deliver curriculum material that is of sufficient science and engineering rigor to ensure that students have the basis for entering the private or public sectors as mining engineers, or higher education, if they so choose.
• To enable students to comprehend the interrelationships among geology, exploration, valuation, development, exploitation, and processing of mineral deposits in a coordinated manner, from the introductory mining course to the capstone mine-design course.
• To encourage student use of computer and information technology, in a comprehensive manner, as it relates to engineering applications for mineral resources.
• To stimulate student awareness, appreciation, and communication capabilities to address societal concerns with regard to the total environment, health and safety, sustainable development, and the conservation of our natural resources.
• To promote the concepts of teamwork, lifelong learning, and effective and ethical leadership.

STUDENT-TRAINEE PROGRAM: A five-year work-study plan is available to incoming students in Mining Engineering. Alternating periods of employment in industry and schooling at Penn State, the student-trainee obtains the BS degree in five years instead of four, following a rearranged major. Numerous mining and manufacturing companies as well as governmental agencies are cooperating with the University in providing employment during work periods. In addition to earning sufficient funds to finance their education, student-trainees acquire two years of valuable, practical, and professional experience. Additional information can be obtained from the department.

For the B.S. degree in Mining Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2004

Deafness and Hearing Studies Minor (DHS)

University Park, College of Health and Human Development

Professor Gordon W. Blood, in charge

This interdisciplinary minor is designed for students who want to learn about individuals with hearing disabilities, audition, and deafness within an individual and societal context. Core courses include knowledge and skills in preventing hearing loss, basic communication skills and disabilities, history, thought and culture of individuals who are deaf, and principles of human behavior and their applications. The minor will assist students in recognizing relationships among hearing disability, deafness, cultural differences and their impact on the individual in educational, social and vocational settings. Specializations include, but are not limited to, health-related fields, communications, societal and social life, cultural impact, educational experiences, prejudice and discrimination, and rehabilitation. Students will be able to place deaf culture and hearing disabilities in the proper perspective necessary for life-long learners engaged in fostering climates which embrace individuals from diverse backgrounds, especially disabilities.

The minor is most appropriate for students interested in clinical and health-related fields (e.g., nursing, biobehavioral health, or medicine), professional fields (e.g., business, pre-law, or communications), social sciences (e.g., human development and family studies, sociology, or psychology), and education (e.g., early childhood education, special education, rehabilitation counseling), as it will provide students with exposure to the range of variation in persons with hearing disabilities and deafness across the lifespan.

Students from any major (except Communication Sciences and Disorders) can declare a minor in Deafness and Hearing Studies. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor. Students seeking advising for this minor should contact the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.
