PROFESSOR DENNIS SCANLON, Program Coordinator
This major enables students to develop programs of study to serve their individual needs by assembling courses selected from various departments within the College of Agricultural Sciences. The student develops either a broad background in agriculture or a special program of study not currently offered within departments of the college. The student, in consultation with an adviser, is given considerable flexibility for selecting courses to satisfy individual interests and aspirations.
Students can prepare themselves for careers in agricultural marketing (cooperative manager), agricultural sales (feeds, farm equipment), public relations, agricultural finance (credit agencies or banks), conservation (Soil Conservation Service, USDA), Cooperative Extension Service (county agents), land appraisal (real estate), and international agriculture (Peace Corps, United Nations).
For the B.S. degree in Agricultural Science, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

COOPERATING DEPARTMENTS: Dairy and Animal Science and Poultry Science
Animal Science may be defined as the study and integration of all disciplines that relate to the function and care of animals for the benefit of humankind by providing companionship, food, fiber, and research. The Animal Sciences major includes references to all types of animals.
The educational experiences included in this major should prepare the student for a wide range of entry-level positions in production agriculture agribusiness, and allied industries, and provide preparation for the pursuit of post-baccalaureate studies leading to professional or advanced degrees. The student is expected to develop a comprehensive understanding of the biological and physical sciences underlying the functioning of all types of animals.
Realizing the wide range of career possibilities requiring diverse types of academic preparation, two options of study are available: the Business/Management Option and the Science Option.
For the B. S. degree in Animal Sciences, a minimum of 125 credits is required.
BUSINESS/MANAGEMENT OPTION: The primary objective of this option is to prepare the student for entry-level positions in agribusiness organizations and in the animal and food industries. The student may develop a program with specie specialization or diversity. The student may develop a foundation in accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and other business-related areas. Graduates seek entry-level employment opportunities as loan officers with financial institutions; technical service and sales representatives for pharmaceutical, agri-chemical, feed or food producing companies; field representatives for breed organizations or producer cooperatives; public relations personnel for agribusiness companies; management trainees for numerous agribusiness firms; and management trainees or assistant managers of animal production units.
SCIENCE OPTION: The primary objective of this option is to prepare the student for entry into post-baccalaureate study programs in the animal and related sciences. Graduates who have obtained the proper qualifications may pursue advanced studies in a wide variety of disciplines, including animal science, biotechnology, genetics, microbiology, nutrition, physiology, operations research, and veterinary medicine. Graduates not desiring to pursue advanced studies seek entry-level employment opportunities as research technicians, technical service representatives for various industrial companies, food inspectors, laboratory animal caretakers, and public relations personnel.
ANIMAL SCIENCES MINOR: Students must take AN SC 001(4)[1], AN SC 290(1), AN SC 301(3)[1], select 3 credits from AN SC 205(3)[1] or 300 GN(3)[1], select 3 credits from AN SC 305(3)[1], 306(3)[1], 308(3)[1], 309(3)[1], 310(3)[1], 311(3)[1], 327(3)[1], and select 6 credits of 400-level AN SC courses for a total of 20 credits.

PROFESSOR KIM C. STEINER, Program Coordinator
The primary purpose of this major is to help prepare students for careers in wood products industry. Students can choose from two options: Wood Products Business and Marketing and Wood Products Processing and Manufacturing. The options are designed to give the student flexibility for a science or business/marketing emphasis supported by a general education in communication, natural science, social science and humanities, and quantification.
Proper selection in elective courses enables the student to be prepared for employment in various aspects of wood products business management or marketing, process and product quality control, or research and development. The wide scope of the wood industry--from harvesting to the use of wood, fiber, and chemical products--presents a broad spectrum of employment opportunities. Within the employment spectrum are jobs related to roundwood processing to lumber and plywood, drying and protection of wood and fiber products, adhesives and coatings, reconstituted wood composites, paper manufacture, board products, and construction and housing.
For the B.S. degree in Wood Products, a minimum of 125 credits is required. Students should be aware that completion of the Wood Products degree in four years is difficult if they are not at the University Park Campus beginning the fall semester of the sophomore year.
WOOD PRODUCTS MARKETING MINOR: Students must take W P 411(4), 417(4), 435(3), 437W(4), and select 3 additional credits of W P courses for a minimum of 18 credits. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

28-07-022 Add new major in International Business.
Proposed Effective Date: Fall Semester 2000
The International Business major is designed to prepare students for the increasingly international nature of business. Compared to other business majors, this one provides greater emphasis on knowledge and skills that are needed to conduct business in an international setting. This includes issues concerned with accomplishing organizational objectives through the coordination of human, material, information, and financial resources across national boundaries. In addition to studying the core business courses, students in this major will receive a broad exposure to the complexity of international business through required course work in international business, international culture, a foreign language, and a study abroad experience. In addition to preparing students for an international business environment, the major aims to provide them with knowledge of a specific business discipline by requiring the completion of all the requirements for a second business major. As a result, students meet the university requirements for a multiple major. Graduates of the INT B major should be better prepared to function effectively as employees of small businesses with developing international operations or as members of larger business organizations with extensive global operations.
For the B.S. degree in International Business (in conjunction with a second business major), a minimum of 128 credits is required. A student enrolled in this major must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level course required for the major.

Meteorology is devoted to the attainment of an increased understanding of the atmosphere and the development of methods for applying that knowledge to practical problems. Although this field is usually associated with weather prediction, it also has significance in environmental, energy, agricultural, oceanic, and hydrological sciences.
The major provides a background in the fundamentals of atmospheric sciences and has sufficient flexibility to permit intensive study of several specialties. Since meteorology is an interdisciplinary field, students are encouraged to develop interests in the mathematical or physical sciences or in engineering. The department has particular strengths in weather analysis and prediction, including forecast uncertainty; physical meteorology, including radar meteorology, instrumentation and atmospheric measurements; and applied areas, including atmospheric diffusion, air pollution chemistry, dynamic meteorology, tropical meteorology, climate, and remote sensing.
Graduating meteorologists are prepared for professional employment with industry, private consulting firms, government, and the armed forces or for further study toward graduate degrees normally required for research, university, or management positions.
The freshman and sophomore years are largely devoted to preparatory work in science, mathematics, and the liberal arts. The junior and senior years involve a core of basic courses in applied and theoretical topics and a choice of courses offering specialized training.

Information Sciences and Technology (IST) is the keystone of developments aimed at improving quality and access in health care while containing costs. Recent reports examining future health professions trends cite the need for vastly improved capabilities in IST. The objectives of this minor are to help students gain a strong background in technical aspects of information sciences, as well as an understanding of the role of IST in the health care system. Particular skills and knowledge emphasized include: data analysis to identify impacts on health care costs, access, and quality; data transfer technologies to move confidential medical and financial information across organizations; data integration to link clinical, financial, and other information in health care settings; and public policy and legal areas related to health information issues. Students completing the minor will be able to find jobs as entry-level systems support and analyst positions available in many departments (e.g., provider network management, medical management, patient services and quality improvement) in many health care organizations (e.g., hospitals and integrated health care delivery systems, nursing facilities, managed care organization, insurers). Students may also continue for graduate student in health information sciences and technology. The IST/HPA Minor requires 19 credits. Students must take IST 110, 210, and 220 from the IST curriculum. Students must take H P A 470 from the H P A curriculum. Students select 2 additional courses from H P A 431, 440, 447, or 455, to complete the minor.

The study of nutrition involves an in-depth knowledge of the physiological and biochemical aspects of nutrition and the role of social and economic factors as determinants of nutrition practices and their effect on physical well-being.
The student may select the Applied Nutrition option and apply knowledge of nutrition and human behavior to improve the nutritional status of individual and communities or apply nutrition principles and counseling skills to medical problems for a specialization in Medical Dietetics. Other emphases in nutrition education and communications, nutrition and food science, or nutrition and exercise science are possible within the Applied option. The Nutrition Science option emphasizes the laboratory aspects of nutrition and is recommended for students preparing for careers in laboratory-based research, dentistry, and medicine. All students in the Applied Nutrition option satisfy the current requirement to apply a dietetic internship or approved preprofessional practice program (AP4). Students who will graduate with a degree in Nutrition Science and who are interested in meeting these requirements should select all of the approved courses to meet the requirements of the American Dietetic Association. A list of courses recommended for developing a specific competence within each option or to meet the academic requirements for a dietetic internship or an AP4 program is available from the department office.
For the B.S. degree in Nutrition, a minimum of 130 credits is required.
APPLIED NUTRITION OPTION: This option integrates knowledge of psychology, anthropology, and sociology with nutrition and emphasizes the study of eating behaviors and their relationship to nutritional status. Graduates of this option usually work in community agencies, the food industry, schools, clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, and private practice or continue to graduate study.
NUTRITION SCIENCE OPTION: This option emphasizes laboratory research and incorporates knowledge from chemistry, physiology, and physics. This option usually leads to a career in laboratory research in the pharmaceutical or food industry, government, or academia. Students wishing to enter medicine, dentistry, or other health-related professions or continue to graduate study should check with an adviser for appropriate selection of supporting courses as early as possible. (In addition to the specific courses listed here, students in the Nutrition Science option must have completed 6 credits from courses offered in the College of Health and Human Development and outside the Department of Nutrition to satisfy graduation requirements. The students in the Nutrition Science option also must have completed 3 credits of courses with a DF designation to satisfy graduation requirements.)

PROFESSOR JAMES B. THOMAS, Program Coordinator
This major 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 degree 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 considerable interdisciplinary integration in order to expose students to the cognitive, social, institutional, and global environments of IST. Team projects in most courses, a required internship, and a senior capstone experience provide additional, focused venues for involving students in the cutting-edge issues and technologies of the field.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT OPTION: This option is focused on expanding the skills needed to develop advanced information technology systems using state-of-the-art tools and techniques. The emphasis is on providing the student with both knowledge in the design, implementation, testing complex software systems as well as a set of project-oriented, team-programming experiences.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION OPTION: This option is designed to prepare students to use information technology to realize a variety of system-based goals (e.g., reliability, accessibility, efficiency, etc.). It is focused on developing a theoretical foundation and the skill set needed for integrating information technology into different systems for the purpose of enhancing system performance. The emphasis is on providing the student with both the theoretical frameworks needed to use information technology as a system attribute as well as a set of application-oriented experiences and skills.
INFORMATION, SOCIETY, AND PUBLIC POLICY OPTION: This option focuses on how information technology affects social change and the delivery of information to the consumer. This includes the human-machine interface; organization and retrieval of information; digital libraries; information and telecommunications services; information and media industry structures; software services and intermediaries; telecommunications and information law and policy; sociological aspects of technology change; multimedia; and art, design, and aesthetics.
For the B.S. degree in Information Sciences and Technology, a minimum of 125 credits is required.

Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. Astrobiology has become a major focus of scientific research in the United States and a topic often discussed in popular science literature and the general media. The Astrobiology Minor is designed to educate students in this interdisciplinary field covering the varied scientific disciplines that contribute to our general understanding of life, the origin of life, the past history of life on Earth, possible futures for life on Earth, and the possible existence of life on other planetary environments. The principle goal of the minor is to develop student's literacy in astrobiology so that they can critically evaluate claims related to this field that they encounter well after their college education has ended. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

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

The minor in African Studies is designed to educate students about the history, the culture and the social institutions of the African peoples residing in the African Continent. There are over 22000 languages and many more dialects in Africa today. The complexity and depth of African history is clear. From the original cultivation of sorghum and coffee to the domestication of cattle to the creation of the human family, the African continent has been in the forefront of world history.
Most world history courses set African at the furthest periphery of world history, but the African Studies Minors will place Africa in its proper place as fundamental to the development of word history. Since the history of this continent has been so "misunderstood," students will learn how to look at historical documents and modern journalism with a very critical eye. The understanding of the methodologies employed in recapturing African history such as historical linguistics, archeology, oral tradition, folklore and oral histories will also be studied. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

PROFESSOR DEBORAH F. ATWATER, in charge
The minor in Black Diaspora Studies is designed to broaden the perspectives of students through an examination of the international/transnational dimensions of the experiences of African and African descent populations, particularly those in the Western Hemisphere. Since the early 16 century, when Europe, the Americas, and Africa were brought into a pattern of sustained interaction following the onset of the Age of European Discovery, the African slave trade and other forms of migration and exchange have been critical to the formative experience of Africans and African-descent populations linked by the Atlantic. The intensity and impact of those exchanges have varied over time but the presence of Africans and African-descent populations in the evolution of Atlantic civilization constitutes the core of the study of the African diaspora. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

PROFESSOR MICHAEL HECHT, in charge, College Department of Speech Communication
PROFESSOR JOSEPH LAMBERT, in charge, School of Information Sciences and Technology
The internet and other technologies are emerging as important communication channels. People establish personal relations on line, develop language skills, conduct business, and make arguments online. Websites have become important sites of public discourse and are playing an encompassing role in political campaigns. Students who pursue careers as communication consultants, in management or human resources, as political speech writers, and as independent business operators all need information management skills. As a result, it is essential for Speech Communication students to be versed fully in information sciences and technology for both personal and professional advancement. A one-time tuition surcharge will be applied to all students enrolled in this minor. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

Writing and Editing for Lawyers
WRITING/EDITING (2) CRDT ONLY: Y ANON GR: N
The goal of the course is to improve the legal writing and editing skills of students. The first hour of each week will involve lecture format, reinforcing rules of grammar, punctuation, usage, diction, voice, tone, and style. The emphasis will be on the application of these rules in the particular context of legal writing. Students will learn how to write sentences that are accurate, brief, clear, precise and sometimes persuasive. During the second hour, students will create and edit pieces in light of the principles discussed during the first hour. Edited pieces will be legal documents and may be derived from textbooks, homework assignments, court opinions, lawyers' briefs, and other sources.
