The Bachelor of Science degree program in Criminal Justice helps provide its graduates with the communications and analytical skills critical to succeed in criminal justice and related careers. Through an interdisciplinary approach to the problems of crime and society, the program also equips students to pursue graduate study in criminal justice or related disciplines, and educates students to become effective problem-solvers as professionals in the field of criminal justice.

The study of criminal justice is approached as an applied interdisciplinary science, teaching students both the theoretical and the practical aspects of crime control and the administration of justice. The Criminal Justice program at Harrisburg is designed for students who have completed at least 60 credits from other institutions or who hold an associate degree in Criminal Justice or Police Science. The Criminal Justice program at Schuylkill provides all four years of the Criminal Justice degree. The Criminal Justice curriculum provides students with the opportunity and assistance to acquire knowledge of the roles of policing, courts, laws, and corrections as they relate to both the adult and juvenile justice system. Students also gain knowledge of the history, concepts, and critical issues related to the role of gender and race/ethnicity in the criminal justice system, victimology, and ethics in criminal justice. The curriculum further provides a theoretical foundation of the discipline, combines with a thorough understanding of the scientific method as it applies to criminal justice. This combination is expected to sharpen the students' talents of reasoning and judgment, qualities imperative to rational functioning in criminal justice and related professions.

For a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

Admission Requirements for Transfer Students:
Transfer applicants must have at least a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average (4.0 scale). The evaluation of prior college work is conducted on an individual basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at both campuses.

Electrical Engineering (E E)

University Park, College of Engineering

PROFESSOR W. KENNETH JENKINS, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is the application of electronics, electrical science and technology, and computer systems to the needs of society. Students in the BSEE program at Penn State University Park master electrical engineering theory through lecture-based courses. Additional problem-solving skills and practical experience are developed through design projects and laboratory assignments, which also provide opportunities for the development of team-building and teamwork skills. These design experiences are integrated throughout the curriculum from the first year through the fourth-year capstone design course. In addition, students improve their written and oral communication skills and expand their general knowledge through a variety of additional courses in communications, arts, humanities, and the social studies that complement the technical courses.

A combination of required and elective technical courses ensures that students acquire both a broad knowledge base as well as expertise in one or more areas of specialization. Areas of specialization include antennas, communications, computer engineering, control systems, digital signal processing, electronic and photonic device fabrication and circuit design, energy conversion, fiber optics and lasers, image processing, microwaves and radar, optical computing, power systems, remote sensing, and space sciences.

The program prepares graduates for both professional careers in electrical engineering and advanced study at the graduate level in electrical engineering or a related field. Career opportunities are quite diverse, and they include research, product design and development, manufacturing, technical management, and technical sales.

The curriculum consists of one year of background science and mathematics, followed by three years of engineering course work, including a wide variety of technical electives. The General Education requirements are distributed throughout the four years.

For the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, a minimum of 129 credits is required.

PROFESSOR GORDON W. BLOOD, Head of the Department

This major offers a comprehensive program of study for preparing students who want to become speech-language pathologists or audiologists. The curriculum is specifically designed for the sole purpose of preparing undergraduate students for graduate study in communication sciences and disorders or related areas. This occurs because state licensure laws and professional certifications require that a speech-language pathologist or audiologist must have a master's degree, pass a national test, and complete a clinical fellowship year.

Overall, the curriculum enables students to develop fundamental knowledge based on scientific principles, skills, and attitudes required for habilitating and rehabilitating persons of all ages with a wide range of speech, language, and hearing problems. Further, the curriculum allows students an opportunity to explore all aspects of communication sciences and disorders as well as elect courses of special interest.

The first two years of study emphasize general education and background study. The last two years of study emphasize normal and disordered aspects of speech, language, and hearing as well as professional management, concerns, and obligations. Clinical observation and diversity focused course work are included in the curriculum.

For the B.S. degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders, a minimum of 120 credits is required. (To satisfy graduation requirements, students must have completed 6 credits from courses offered in the college and outside the department in which the major is offered.)

Environmental Inquiry Minor (ENV I)

Intercollege Program

PROFESSOR AMY K. GLASMEIER, in charge, Department of Geography, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences

This intercollege minor is designed for students across the disciplines who wish to prepare for addressing environmental issues or problems as professionals or citizens. The minor is available to all undergraduates regularly enrolled in a degree program at the University. The objectives are to allow students to gain the multiple perspectives necessary for understanding environmental issues as well as to increase skills in collaborating with those from very different disciplinary backgrounds to find acceptable solutions. Students will be challenged to move beyond the channels of thinking characteristic of their own discipline to new ways of knowing, new sensitivities, and new analytical approaches. The program will engage students actively in learning experiences outside their major course of study. This minor is intended not to replace existing minors but to be a true intercollege, interdisciplinary minor. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

Advising for students in this minor and approval of curriculum exceptions will be available through the Environmental Inquiry Adviser designated within each participating college.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MINOR: 18 credits

Students who wish to earn a Master's Degree must write a research paper of between thirty and fifty pages on a topic defined in conjunction with a faculty adviser. The research paper should demonstrate mastery of primary and secondary literature, interpretative skills, and academic prose in both German and English. A one-hour oral defense of the paper shall be scheduled two weeks after its formal submission to the adviser. A committee consisting of faculty adviser and two other members of the German program selected by the M.A. candidate shall evaluate the student's knowledge of the subject matter.

Doctoral Degree Requirements

For the Ph.D., a student must complete at least 66 credits (including M.A. credits) of graduate-level work. GER 510, 511, and 512 or 515 are required of all students. Other requirements include: (1) demonstrated reading knowledge of one foreign language in addition to German and English, (2) successful passing of the comprehensive examination with written and oral components, and (3) completed doctoral dissertation. Students specialize in one of two options: German Literature and Culture, or German Applied Linguistics. The Literature and Culture option allows students to combine courses in various fields to create an interdisciplinary program of study. In addition to the 9 credits of required work, students will complete 57 credits chosen in consultation with an adviser from courses that allow students to create an interdisciplinary program of study. The Applied Linguistics option requires 15 credits in the core areas of German, 21 credits of German electives (6 of which must be in German linguistics), a minimum of 21 crdits in six core areas of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies (LALS), and 9 credits of LALS electives.

The program is designed for professionals and new graduates who desire further education in the specialized field of Industrial Relations and Human Resources (IR/HR) without completing a full master's degree. Many professionals and recent graduates believe they need further education beyond their bachelor’s degree for personal and professional development and to compete effectively in the labor market for IR/HR practitioners. The certificate program provides flexibility for working professionals and advanced knowledge in the rapidly changing field of IR/HR in many areas including: dispute management and resolution, workplace diversity, work and family, trends in human resources, technology and the workplace. Upon successful completion of the certificate program, students may opt to continue for the master's degree in IR/HR.

Students must complete 9 credits.

Admission Requirements

Admission to the program does not assume former knowledge of the field of IR/HR. There are two required courses (IRHR 504 and IRHR 505). The remaining course is an elective.

The following will be required:
· a valid undergraduate transcript demonstrating graduation from a baccalaureate degree program
· application form (available online)
