PROFESSOR CHARLES W. HEUSER, Program Coordinator
Horticulture is an applied biological science designed for students who are seeking careers in the management of public and commercial horticultural enterprises. Because of the rapidly changing needs of professionals in this field, Horticulture combines the application of science and technology to achieve its educational goals. Horticulture provides students maximum flexibility in selecting a program of study suited to their needs and professional goals. Students can emphasize floriculture (greenhouse production or floral retail), olericulture (vegetable crops), ornamental horticulture (herbaceous and woody perennials), and pomology (fruit culture). Programs of study in the disciplines of plant breeding, plant nutrition, and horticultural physiology are also available .
Graduates are employed as commercial growers of fruit, vegetable, nursery, or greenhouse crops; as managers of retail enterprises or public and private gardens; in production and quality control, or as field supervisors in the food processing industries; in federal and state inspection services; in crop consulting; in secondary level teaching; or in sales and service work for seed, plant materials, agricultural chemicals, and other related businesses. By selection of the Science Option, students can prepare for graduate study leading to careers in research, teaching, and/or extension in horticulture and related plant sciences.
BUSINESS/PRODUCTION OPTION:
This option is focused on preparing students to enter the horticultural industry
by providing a broad background in courses related to horticultural business
and production and physiology of horticultural crops. In addition courses in
pest management and business are required.
SCIENCE OPTION:
This option provides students with a stronger basic science background in addition
to the broad background in horticultural courses. This option is designed to
prepare students for graduate study.
For the B.S. degree in Horticulture, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

The Environmental Engineering major helps graduates obtain the skills necessary to analyze, design, and manage air pollution control, water supply, waste water treatment, solid waste handling, and hazardous waste systems. A thorough background in engineering fundamentals is provided by a broad core of courses in basic science and mathematics emphasizing sciences such as chemistry and microbiology.
A sequence of environmental engineering design courses distinguishes the undergraduate program. In the senior year, a majority of the environmental engineering courses such as, Solid Waste Management, Treatment Plant Design, Hydraulic Design, and Hazardous Waste Management utilize a team approach to meet project design objectives. These courses also emphasize written and oral communication of engineering concepts and project results. There is a considerable emphasis on conservation, reuse, and pollution prevention as pollution control strategies in these courses.
Environmental Engineering students are qualified to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination leading to certification as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) and, with appropriate experience after graduation, sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) examination leading to registration as a Professional Engineer. They are also qualified to pursue graduate education in Environmental Engineering or other related majors such as Environmental Pollution Control. ENVE graduates are qualified to work at the entry level in a variety of jobs related to environmental protection and management in government and private industry.
For a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering a minimum of 132 credits are required.
Entry to Major Requirements:
A 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average is required.
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 meet entry to major requirements but 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.

ROBERT A. BAUKUS, Head, Department of Advertising-Public Relations
This major is designed to provide a balance of theory, research, and practice. The course sequence provides professional skills courses in conjunction with applied theory and critical evaluative courses. Students develop an understanding of the role and effect of advertising and public relations within the business, social, and political arenas. Students develop abilities and skills that prepare them for a wide range of professional opportunities that include: media planning and relations, research, client services. Analytical abilities are equally stressed throughout the curriculum. Critical thinking skills, creative problem-solving and the need to justify decisions are developed. Theory and practice from a wide range of disciplines including business, behavioral sciences, and applied statistics are used to equip the students to make informed decisions in a dynamic environment.
ADVERTISING OPTION: All courses in the advertising major emphasize the critical importance of integrated communication. The objective of the curriculum is to prepare students for entry-level opportunities in the advertising profession and to prepare for eventual managerial roles where an understanding of integrated communication concepts is essential.
The program reflects an integrated marketing communications approach to the design implementation and evaluation of advertising messages. In addition to mastering the core professional courses, students are expected to have an understanding of the convergence of mass communication theory and practice and are encouraged to select from courses in communication theory, communication law, mass media history, ethics, and the impact of advertising and public relations on society.
PUBLIC RELATIONS OPTION: The public relations curriculum prepares students for the challenges of public relations practice in a highly competitive, technological, multicultural, and global environment. In their course of student, students study the role and function of public relations in building cooperative mutually beneficial relations between organizations and their constituent publics through understanding, credibility, and trust.
Students complete a core set of courses that includes news writing, introduction to public relations, public relations methods, mass communication research, and public relations problems (campaigns).
Because of the critical importance of journalistic writing skills and an understanding of news media ethics, public relations majors are encouraged to take additional journalism courses to fulfill their communication electives.
Advertising and public relations students are encouraged to choose a minor from outside the College of Communications. The majority of majors select minors in business, English, sociology, psychology, political science, information systems and statistical analysis, foreign language, and speech communication.
Students must select at least 80 credits in courses outside the College of Communications, including at least 65 in the liberal arts and sciences.
For the B.A. degree in Advertising-Public Relations, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

DENNIS K. DAVIS, Head, Department of Film/Video and Media Studies
This major is designed for students who want to pursue an academic rather than professional program of media studies. Students are exposed first to the breadth of approaches to understanding the mass media (e.g., aesthetic, humanistic, social-behavioral, legal policy) and then, by selecting one of several options, go into depth in a specialized area of media studies. All options within the major are closely intertwined with the liberal arts and sciences. Therefore, students who successfully complete this major must have a strong foundation in the liberal arts and well-developed language and analytical skills. That foundation should include courses such as ART H 100 GA(3), ECON 002 GS(3), HIST 002 GH(3), PSY 002 GS(3), and SOC 001 GS(3). Students must select at least 90 credits in non-COMM courses, including at least 65 credits in the liberal arts and sciences.
The following three options are offered:
FILM AND TELEVISION STUDIES OPTION: This option is designed for students interested in studying the art, history, and criticism of film and television. Electives offer students the opportunity to pursue a related field, such as art, art history, creative writing, speech communication, or theatre arts. This option merges aesthetics and social sciences and is appropriate for those seeking a more theoretical/critical approach to the study of film and video.
GENERAL OPTION: In this option, a student and faculty adviser work together to tailor a program of courses to meet the student's individual interest in a coherent theme in media studies. Examples of themes include, but are not limited to, communication law and policy, communication and the environment, communication and health campaigns, media effects and society, minorities and the media, and gender and the media. The General Option consists of three sets of courses totaling 18 credits, including: 1) a set of pre-defined College of Communications courses in communications theory from which students must take two courses for six credits; 2) a set of pre-defined courses in research methods relating to any of the traditions of communications research (communication science, cultural studies, critical studies, etc.) from which students must take two courses for six credits; and 3) a student-and-adviser selected cluster of any two courses worth a combined six credits -- courses either from inside or outside the College of Communications -- that the student and faculty adviser determine, after consultation and agreement between the two, best serve the student's area of interest.
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS OPTION: This option is designed for students who want to study the mass media systems of the world and their role in international affairs. The option offers students an opportunity to enhance their occupational opportunities in international business, organizations, or government and to be better prepared to participate in the world community.
Students must select at least 80 credits in courses outside the College of Communications, including at least 65 in the liberal arts and sciences.
For the B.A. degree in Media Studies, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

This program is designed to provide students with the technical and managerial skills necessary to address the occupational health and safety concerns associated with the extraction and utilization activities of the minerals and fuels industries, the construction industry, and other heavy industries. Employers in the United States are mandated by federal and state laws to provide workplaces that are free of recognized hazards to personnel. Agencies such as OSHA and MSHA have placed increased emphasis on employer responsibilities for the health and safety of their employees. Annually, work-related incidents cost the United States in excess of $40 billion, affecting not only workman's compensation but also reducing, productivity. This program includes a general background in the basic sciences, followed by a core program emphasizing the nature of the various industries, as well as the economic, technical, and policy issues of occupational health and safety.
For the B.S. degree in Industrial Health and Safety, a minimum of 129 credits is required.

PROFESSOR JUDITH A. TODD, Head of the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, P. B. Breneman Department Head Chair
Engineering Science is a multidisciplinary honors program that emphasizes enhanced understanding and integrated application of mathematical, scientific, statistical, and engineering principles. The program is unique because the Engineering Science graduate forgoes specialization in a single engineering discipline in exchange for a broader perspective of engineering and the ability to interact with a team of allied professionals. The curriculum, founded upon mathematics, chemistry, physics, mechanics, and materials, is designed for students who seek to link science with the engineering disciplines. Examples include, but are not limited to, electrical, mechanical, chemical, civil and bioengineering. During the senior year, all students select a focus area of interdisciplinary study, complete a capstone project and write a thesis that integrates the scientific principles of research, design and analysis and applies them to engineering. Hence, Engineering Science students achieve both depth and breadth in science and engineering, are able to function across disciplines, and graduate well prepared for advanced studies as well as professional employment.
The specific program objectives are tied to the mission of the program as described above. They target the major outcomes expected of Engineering Science students and are flexible and readily adaptable to meet changing constituent needs.
The Engineering Science Program aims to develop graduates who:
Enrollment is limited to students who have demonstrated that they can benefit from the advanced courses of the curriculum. A minimum grade-point average of 3.0 is partial demonstration of such competence. For the B.S. degree in Engineering Science, 137 credits and a 2.50 grade-point average are required.
