Penn State Erie, The Behrend College
Built upon a broad foundation in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, this major has the objective of educating graduates to be problem solvers. Graduates of this program will have had opportunities to learn about applying scientific principles, engineering analysis, and engineering design to solve unstructured problems that are typical of those found in mechanical engineering. The major helps prepare graduates for a lifelong productive career, whether they choose professional practice, graduate school, or some other career path. Graduates will have had opportunities to learn how to work with others toward a common goal, to clearly express their ideas in written and verbal form, and to be independent and capable of adapting to the continuously changing technology of the work environment.
After completing the fundamental science core, students may pursue their interest in mechanical engineering by studying fluid and solid mechanics, engineering materials and their properties, thermodynamics and heat transfer, computer-aided design, kinematics and dynamics of machine elements, machine design, finite elements, control systems, electricity, and electronic instrumentation and machinery. The students will be required to analyze and solve a significant mechanical engineering design problem during their senior year.
Entrance Requirement: In addition to the Carnegie unit and minimum GPA requirements described by University policies, all students applying for entrance to any of the engineering majors at Behrend college must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA by the end of the semester prior to applying for entrance to the major and have completed, with a minimum grade of C: CHEM 012 GN(3), MATH 140 GQ(4), MATH 141 GQ(4), and PHYSICS 211 GN(4). These courses must be completed by the end of the semester during which the admission to major process is carried out.
For the B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, a minimum of 132 credits is required. Each student must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level course in the major field.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2003
PROFESSOR DAN GIVOLY, in charge
This major is designed to provide a global perspective for careers in public, industrial, or governmental accounting and an appropriate background for students planning to enter law school or graduate school. Because of the increased importance of international trade and the abundance of multinational companies, international accounting topics (such as transfer pricing and foreign currency translation) are integrated into most of the courses. All three accounting areas offer opportunities for foreign service.
Certified public accountants (CPAs) conduct independent audits and render accounting, tax, and management advisory services to their clients. The credit requirements to take the CPA examination in Pennsylvania and many other states are automatically met by completing the prescribed curriculum (exceptions include New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Texas). For more detailed information, see brochures in the department office.
Industrial accountants are in charge of designing and supervising the financial and managerial accounting system for firms, including preparing and analyzing reports. Many are now taking the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam. It is a two-day exam covering economics, finance, management, decision analysis, information systems and accounting. Governmental accountants occupy positions in federal, state, and local government and perform services similar to those of public or industrial accountants.
For the B.S. degree in Accounting and International Business, a minimum of 145 credits is required.

The Business Logistics major helps prepares students for careers in supply chain management with (1) manufacturing, merchandising, and service companies, (2) third-party logistics providers, (3) transport systems, and (4) consulting firms and government agencies involved with the design and management of supply chains. A supply chain, or logistics, network stretches from the source of raw material to the point of final consumption, involves multiple trading partners, and comprises business processes for acquiring materials and supplies, malting products, and delivering them customers throughout the world. Business logistics focuses on the planning and coordination of product, information, and cash flows along the supply chain to achieve a vision of a market opportunity that is shared by all the trading partners. In addition, because transportation is one of the most vital services in modern society, the major gives special attention to the management and economics of domestic and international freight transportation systems and to government policies toward the performance of such systems.
For the B.S. degree in Business Logistics, a minimum of 128 credits is required (at least 15 credits must be taken at the 400 level).

This major is designed to prepare students for careers in executive management and management consulting. The modern corporation must respond quickly to change and its leadership must be able to plan on the basis of a well-coordinated and properly analyzed flow of information. Further, managers must increasingly operate across traditional functional boundaries. The goal of the Management Science and Information Systems major is to develop graduates whose knowledge prepares them for such an environment.
Following on from a thorough grounding in the functional areas of business, students are taught to develop analytical skills to complement their understanding of modern information systems, with an underlying emphasis on the importance of continuous quality improvement.
Graduates in this field will be qualified for positions in both the public and private sectors. Career opportunities include such fields as systems analysis, financial and market research, quality assurance, programming, and production planning.
For the B.S. degree in Management Science and Information Systems, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER J. BISE, Undergraduate Program Officer
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.

Kinesiology offers a comprehensive program of study in the science of human movement and is designed for students who want to prepare for professions involving physical activity and for graduate study in related areas. Four options are offered: (1) Athletic Training; (2) Movement Science; (3) Teacher Preparation; and (4) Wellness Development Specialization.
All options require a culminating practicum or research experience. First Aid, CPR, and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certification are highly recommended for the Teacher Preparation Option. (See additional requirements for student teaching under General Information, Special Academic Programs.) Relocation away from the University Park Campus is generally necessary for student teaching and may be necessary for practicums in other options. First Aid and CPR are also recommended for the Applied Fitness Emphasis in the Movement Science Option.
Students who have completed a minimum of 28 credits and have a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average are eligible for entrance into the major after completing an Entrance to Major form and meet the following requirements: Complete, with a grade of C or higher, the following two courses: KINES 141(3) and KINES 180(3).
For the B.S. degree in Kinesiology with an option in Athletic Training,
a minimum of 123 credits is required; with an option in Movement Science,
a minimum of 122 credits is required; with an option in Teacher Preparation,
a minimum of 128 credits is required; with an option in Wellness Development
Specialization, a minimum of 123 126 credits is required.
ATHLETIC TRAINING OPTION: This option provides a concentrated program
of courses designed to prepare students for a career in the profession of athletic
training. The option has been designed to meet the standards for certification
by the National Athletic Trainers Association - Board of Certification and legal
certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Students are admitted into the program on a competitive basis following completion
of prerequisite courses (see requirements for admission). Students must also
meet the "Technical Standards for the Undergraduate Athletic Training Program
at Penn State University" related to the physical and psycho-emotional demands
placed upon students in the option. The Technical Standards can be found at
www.psu.edu/dept/kinesiology www.hhdev.psu.edu/kines/undergrad/athletic_tr.html or obtained through The Pennsylvania State
University, Department of Kinesiology, 276 Recreation Building, University Park,
PA 16802. Upon admission, students complete a 5-semester sequence of course
work and supervised clinical rotations. Students typically commit 200 to 300
hours to clinical practical experiences in each of the last 4 semesters of the
program. The course sequencing and prerequisite courses can be found at www.psu.edu/dept/kinesiology www.hhdev.psu.edu/kines/undergrad/athletic_tr.html
or obtained through the Department of Kinesiology. Full course descriptions
are found in the University Bulletin (available online at www.psu.edu/bulletins/bluebook/).
Students seeking to transfer from other colleges or universities will have their transcripts evaluated after acceptance to Penn State to identify those courses and credits that will be applied to completion of degree requirements. Course work specific to athletic training will not be considered for transfer unless completed in a Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs accredited athletic training education program.
Minimum Requirements for Admission to the Athletic Training Option: (Admission is competitive--meeting minimum requirements does not assure admission into the option.)
MOVEMENT SCIENCE OPTION: This option consists of three areas that provide an opportunity for the concentrated study of physical activity in relation to science and medical emphasis; human behavior and humanities emphasis; and applied fitness emphasis. Upon graduation, students enter a variety of careers in relation to physical activity, be they professional, business-oriented, or private agencies, and also may enter graduate school.
TEACHER PREPARATION OPTION: This option helps prepare teachers for K-12 Health and Physical Education. It includes all the academic requirements for the Instructional I Certificate in these fields issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. There are entrance requirements for all University teacher preparation programs:
WELLNESS DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIZATION OPTION: (offered only at the Berks-Lehigh Valley College) This option is a program of study in the science of human movement. This program offers Kinesiology background and applied experience in health assessment, exercise physiology, motor skill development, stress management, nutrition and healthy living skills. The program also has an emphasis in basic business skills of accounting, marketing, management, and entrepreneurship.
This program will prepare students with a knowledge base, practical experience, and entrepreneurial business skills for careers in human wellness. This combination will enable graduates in this field to compete for employment in the corporate fitness arena, private fitness clubs, community-based fitness organizations, hospital and university settings or possibly to operate their own wellness consulting company.
Graduates will be able to scientifically assess fitness levels of people. Analyzing those assessments, graduates will then be capable of designing and implementing appropriate exercise programs. The program is designed to prepare graduates for advanced study in related fields, if they so choose.

PROFESSOR JOSEPH M. LAMBERT, in charge
This minor is structured to provide students with the theoretical frameworks and skill sets necessary to compete and be productive in the information technology-intensive global context that defines the new "Information Age." Specifically, the minor will be focused on a program that will build an understanding of core information technologies and related areas of study; will prepare students for the practical application of various information sciences and related technologies; and engage students in sharpening their abilities to think critically and to work in teams. All this will be done with the intent to expose students to the cognitive, social, institutional, and global environments of Information Sciences and Technology and to then apply that knowledge as a supplement to their major.
A one-time tuition surcharge will be applied to all students enrolled in the minor. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in this minor.

PROFESSOR CAROLYN E. SACHS, in charge
This interdisciplinary major is designed to develop a broad understanding of the study of women and women's perspectives in all areas of academic scholarship. The focus is on feminist analyses of women's lives, of women's social, cultural, and scientific contributions, and of the structure of sex/gender systems. The interdisciplinary and inclusive nature of the field is reflected in a curricular structure that includes courses cross-listed with a wide variety of departments, courses that deal with aspects of women's lives throughout history, and courses that recognize the diversities of culture, race, religion, ethnicity, age, disability, and sexual orientation.
Students may choose either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science Program. The B.A. degree in Women’s Studies is a traditional Women’s Studies degree. The B.S. degree is intended for students with strong interest in quantitative skills, women’s health and sexuality, and/or women and science, or who wish to pursue a multiple major program with other B.S. degree programs.

The certificate in Family Literacy, based on a multi-disciplinary approach to literacy instruction involving both adult educators and early childhood education specialists, is intended for location-bound students who work in a variety of literacy-related settings, both formal and informal. These settings include public schools and pre-schools (teachers, teaching assistants, reading specialists), organizations (Head Start, Even Start), and homes (parents who home school). The goal of the program is to build the capacity of the field to provide high-quality, research-based instruction and program development in family literacy. The certificate consists of a 15-credit program delivered online through the World Campus. The program objectives include strengthening program effectiveness through developing an understanding of staff roles and responsibilities as part of a collaborative family literacy team and supporting a learner-centered approach to delivering program services.
Admission Requirements
It is envisioned as both a baccalaureate OR post-baccalaureate certificate,
depending on the credentials of the student. Students who want to earn their
bachelor's degree must have completed 60 credit hours toward their bachelor's
degree or an associate's degree from an accredited institution; they take the
baccalaureate certificate. (If the certificate is taken as a baccalaureate certificate,
the certificate credits may not be applied to graduate work later.) Students
who already hold the bachelor's degree from an accredited university would select
the post-baccalaureate certificate; therefore, courses are all at the 400 level.

The Structural Engineering certificate program provides graduate-level study in the area of structural analysis and design. The flexibility of the program allows participants the opportunity to choose courses that will broaden their understanding and upgrade the specific skills which are essential to their jobs.
The program is designed for structural and civil engineers and graduates of
certain engineering technology programs who are interested in developing a deeper
insight into the principles and applications of structural design as it relates
to different types of structures and materials. Individuals who are, or plan
to be, active in the structural design field (consulting engineers; local, state,
or federal agencies; and other organizations) should benefit from these courses
by keeping current with design and analysis procedures and broadening their
education.
The Structural Engineering certificate program consists of five courses (15
credits). To receive the certificate, participants must take one analysis course,
three structural design courses, and one elective course. One engineering-related
graduate course taken at another accredited institution may be considered for
application toward the certificate.
All courses must be taken for a letter grade with a B average (3.0) maintained in order to receive the certificate. Courses in which a grade of D is received will not count toward the certificate. Individuals who complete certificate program courses and then proceed to a graduate program may be eligible to transfer the credits to the graduate program and the graduate school subject to the approval and the requirements of the specific program, such as the Master of Engineering degree in Engineering Science offered at Penn State Harrisburg.
Admission Requirements
Individuals with a baccalaureate degree in civil, architectural, or a related engineering program may enroll in this certificate program. Prerequisites include the basic undergraduate courses in mechanics, structural analysis, and structural design.
