Psychology

Altoona College (PSCBA)

The Psychology major will combine the knowledge, skills, and values of psychology with a liberal arts foundation. Students should develop a knowledge base consisting of concepts, theory, empirical findings, and trends within psychology; understand and apply basic research methods in psychology; use critical thinking and the scientific approach to solve problems related to behavior and mental processes; apply psychological principles to personal and social issues; and be able to understand the gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, and class issues in psychological theory, research, and practice. Students should also develop information and computer competence, communication skills, and develop realistic ideas about how to implement their psychology education in occupational pursuits in a variety of settings. The major may lead to either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The B.A. degree incorporates a broad exposure to the many facets of the field of psychology, in addition to the B.A. requirements. The B.S. degree provides the same exposure to the field of psychology and adds options in Science and Business to prepare students for more specific career directions. Students in both degree programs may also prepare for graduate school; research experience with faculty members is encouraged for such students. Admission to and retention in the Psychology major requires a 2.0 GPA and a minimum grade of 2.0 in all psychology courses.

For the B.A. degree in Psychology, a minimum of 124 credits is required.

Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College (ECET)

This major prepares graduates for careers in such varied areas as electronics, microprocessors, computer hardware and software, communications, instrumentation and control, and power. The major consists of two options, one in Electrical Engineering Technology, the other in Computer Engineering Technology. Both options provide education in applied mathematics, physics, electrical and electronic circuit analysis and design, microprocessors, instrumentation and quality control. The Electrical Engineering Technology option provides specialty education in control theory, communication systems, and power systems. The Computer Engineering Technology option provides specialty education in software development, embedded computer systems, and networking. Both options in the major culminate with a capstone design project involving an actual design or manufacturing problem, often sponsored by industry. Graduates may qualify as engineering technologists working side-by-side with engineers, scientists, and other skilled workers in these capacities. Occupations include electrical and electronic systems design, microprocessor applications, instrumentation and control, computer programming, electrical testing, plant engineering, quality control, management, and technical sales and service.

For the B.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology, a minimum of 128 credits is required. Each student must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level course in the major field.

Management Information Systems

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College (MISBD)

The MIS Major prepares students for typical IT-related jobs such as programmer/analyst, systems analyst, data analyst, database administrator, team leader, project manager, consultant, and MIS manager. Since the focus of such jobs is on the application of information technology to business problems and opportunities, the MIS curriculum integrates three main areas of study.

In the first area, students take core business courses in order to understand organizational processes and user requirements. In the second area, students take computer science courses in order to understand information technologies and to develop technical competencies. In the third area, students take core MIS courses in the areas of database management systems, systems analysis, and systems design and development where the focus is on learning tools, processes, and techniques required for successful application of information technology to business problems.

Mechanical Engineering Technology

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College (METBD)

This major may be taken either as a four-year baccalaureate program or in a "2+2" degree format. The latter allows graduates of associate degree programs in mechanical engineering technology or related areas to gain greater breadth and depth of knowledge in mechanical engineering technology. The baccalaureate program emphasizes applied design and analysis, complementing a hands-on manufacturing and materials focus. The graduate gains valuable knowledge of total manufacturing processes ranging from applied design to manufacture.

This major includes instruction in materials engineering, thermodynamics, heat transfer, hydraulics, finite-element analysis, and use of parametric solids modeling design packages, as well as supporting course work in mathematics and science. Oral and written communications are stressed, as is the ability to work within a team-oriented environment. The major culminates with a capstone design project involving an actual design or manufacturing problem sponsored by regional industry. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Pl., Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202.

Graduates have qualified for careers in a wide variety of industries that manufacture or use mechanical systems. Careers include positions in applied product design, manufacturing process development, field service support, supervision of manufacturing facilities, tool and die design, quality control, plant supervision and management, and technical sales.

For the B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, a minimum of 131 credits is required. A student enrolled in this major must earn at least a grade of C in each 300- and 400-level course.

Electrical Engineering Technology

Capital College (E E T)
University College

PROFESSOR JERRY F. SHOUP, Program Chair

The Bachelor of Science graduate with a major in Electrical Engineering Technology (E E T) is an engineering technologist who can bridge the gap between scientific advancement and practical electrical devices and systems. Research in all fields of electrical engineering has produced an abundance of new knowledge in recent years. Many of these advanced scientific achievements have been unused due to the shortage of engineering technologists specifically educated to convert scientific information into practical devices and systems.

The E E T major helps equip students with the various skills necessary to adapt new scientific knowledge to new products. Technical selections are offered in the senior year to provide some degree of specialization, but all graduates receive a well-rounded basic education in electrical and electronic design principles. The strengths of the program include: an applied hands-on program; extensive laboratory experience; promising job placement; accreditation by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone 410-347-7700, Web at www.abet.org.

E E T graduates who wish to continue their professional development can take the Fundamentals of Engineering examination in Pennsylvania, a prerequisite for taking the Professional Engineering examination.

For a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

Admission Requirements for Transfer Students:
Applicants must have earned a high school diploma or equivalent and have attempted at least 40 semester credits at a regionally accredited college or university with at least a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average (4.0 scale). The evaluation of prior college work is done on an individual basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at Penn State Harrisburg.

Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Electrical Engineering Technology major requires a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average.

Re-enrollment:
Associate degree students should file a re-enrollment form during the final semester of their associate degree. Students re-enrolling from an associate's degree into the bachelor's degree should run a degree audit from eLion, using the E E T major code, to determine their curriculum requirements. Similar considerations apply to students changing majors from programs in science or engineering.

Students are directed to http://www.psu.edu/bulletins/bluebook/gened/ for an explanation of the Penn State General Education requirements.

Management

Capital College (MNGMT)

PROFESSOR JOHN M. TRUSSEL, Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Business Administration

This major provides students with the knowledge and skills managers need in today's dynamic business environments. Core management courses provide a general overview of key management competencies including effective leadership, team building, managing and motivating human resources, facilitating organizational change and learning, and fostering and applying organizational knowledge for competitive advantage. Students complement this general management foundation with a human resource management, entrepreneurship, supply chain management, or individualized concentration.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CONCENTRATION: This concentration prepares students for a career in human resource management by developing skills and competencies in managing diversity and equal opportunity, ethical and fair treatment of employees, human resource planning and staffing, employee training and development, compensation and benefits, performance management, labor relations, and protecting employee safety and health. Students completing this concentration would be prepared to demonstrate their knowledge of the core principles of human resource practices and the application of those principles for potential certification as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR), Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR), or Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR).

ENTREPRENEURSHIP CONCENTRATION: The Entrepreneurship concentration is designed to introduce undergraduate students to the process of new venture development. Topics covered in the concentration include business plan development, the nature of management in small business, and the role of creativity and innovation in the entrepreneurial process. Opportunities are provided for student participation in the development of an actual new business venture.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CONCENTRATION: The Supply Chain Management concentration prepares students for a professional career in managing supply chain activities by developing knowledge, skills, and competencies in the areas of logistics, procurement, inventory, transportation, and warehouse management. Students learn analytical techniques including trade-off analysis, construction and evaluation of networks, and optimization methods. Emphasis is placed on attaining an in-depth understanding of both inter-functional and inter-firm collaboration, whereby supply chains become the basis of competitive advantage.

INDIVIDUALIZED CONCENTRATION: The Individualized concentration is designed to provide students with a customized specialization that enables them to develop their own concentration in a management field of their choice. It allows flexibility in developing student knowledge and competencies in accordance with their personal, professional, and career interests.

Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Management major requires the completion of 8 entry-to-major courses: ACCTG 211(4); B A 243(4) or B A 241(2) and B A 242(2); ECON 002 GS(3), ECON 004 GS(3); ENGL 015 GWS(3) or ENGL 030 GWS(3); MATH 110 GQ(4) or MATH 140 GQ(4); MIS 204(3); STAT 200 GQ(4) or SCM 200 GQ(4); and a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average. Additional information about this major is available in the office of the Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Business Administration at Penn State Harrisburg.

UNDERGRADUATE
College of Earth and Mineral Sciences

35-06-306 Change. Add two options: General Information and Geographic Information Systems.

Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2007

Energy, Business, and Finance

University Park, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EBF)
University Park, Smeal College of Business

The major in Energy Business and Finance, offered jointly by the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and the Smeal College of Business, combines training in business, economics, finance, and the physical sciences with a core of courses focusing on energy and related industries. The major helps students prepare for careers in the energy industry, as well as financial institutions, nonprofit groups, and international organizations dealing with energy issues. The curriculum also provides a strong base for further study in business, economics, law, and social sciences.

The General Option of the Energy Business and Finance major is appropriate for students who want a broad understanding of the earth and environmental sciences in preparation for careers in industry, commerce, and government. Students may also desire a more specific course of study involving geographic information systems, as is available through the designated coursework in the Option in Geographic Information Sciences. The option is designed to develop competence in description, analysis, explanation, and management of problems arising from human use of natural resources and natural systems. GIS is an important tool that can be used to assess natural resources and environmental impacts across various geographic environments. Using GIS brings further depth to the analysis of the impacts of a variety of policy measures. These issues are of great prominence in the energy and natural resource industries, and the regulation of those industries.

For the B.S. degree in Energy, Business, and Finance, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

Graduates will have the ability to practice as registered professional engineers in a variety of areas, both public and private, related to the planning, design, construction, and operation of buildings and to assume a place of leadership in society.

Four options are available in the ten-semester major: the Construction option, which emphasizes building construction engineering and construction management; the Lighting/Electrical option, which emphasizes the design of lighting and electrical systems for buildings; the Mechanical option, which emphasizes the design of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems in buildings; and the Structural option, which emphasizes the analysis and design of building structural systems. Courses in architectural design are included in all options to give the engineering student an understanding of architectural design and its relation to engineering. Courses in engineering design are provided throughout the program. The design experience is culminated in a year-long capstone design course.

A limited number of undergraduate students in the B.A.E. program will be considered for admission to the integrated undergraduate/graduate program leading to the B.A.E. and the M.A.E. degrees. Students who are currently enrolled in the 7th semester of the B.A.E. degree program may be admitted to the integrated B.A.E./M.A.E. program, following a positive review of an application specific to this program by the faculty committee on graduate admissions. Students must have attained a GPA of at least 3.0 and must have attained a grade of C or better in all classes listed as A E. Students admitted to the integrated program must maintain a GPA in all classes used toward the M.A.E. degree of at least 3.0.

The professional degree, Bachelor of Architectural Engineering, is granted upon the satisfactory completion of the five-year program.

Graduates, after several years in practice, are engaged in a professional career in the building industry as follows.

For the B.A.E. degree in Architectural Engineering, a minimum of 160 credits is required. This baccalaureate program in Architectural Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone: 410-347-7700; www.abet.org.

This major prepares students to become professional practitioners in areas of health promotion and maintenance, illness care, and rehabilitation. After earning the bachelor of science degree in nursing, students are qualified to take the registered nurse examination for licensure by the State Board of Nursing. The Nursing major is accredited by The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006; 212-363-5555, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), One DuPont Circle, Washington, DC 20036; 202-887-6791, and approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.

Students are admitted to the major either as freshman or in the sophomore year through a review process as a change of major or transfer student. Clinical experiences occur at local clinical facilities surrounding Penn State or at Hershey Medical Center which requires students to reside at that location. All students are given a plan of study to facilitate the scheduling of clinical nursing courses.

Students must carry student nurse professional liability insurance, have an annual health examination, maintain CPR certification, have yearly criminal background and child abuse history clearances, and adhere to any additional requirements of the individual clinical agencies. All transportation and related expenses to off-campus clinical sites are the responsibility of the student and may require the use of a car.

Undergraduate Academic Progression Policy

The Academic Progression policy delineates the academic standards for pre-licensure students (students without an RN license) who are admitted to the undergraduate nursing program. The policy states that all prerequisite courses may be repeated only one time and failure of two nursing courses results in dismissal from the nursing major. Details of the academic progression policy are available in the student handbook. (http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/nurs/Handbooks/index/html).

Graduates of this major may qualify for admission to a graduate nursing program.

After earning the associate degree, students are eligible to take the registered nurse examination for licensure by the State Board of Nursing. The Nursing Program is accredited by The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, telephone 212-363-5555, and approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing.

Students must carry student nurse professional liability insurance, maintain CPR certification, have yearly criminal background and child abuse clearances, and adhere to any additional requirements of the individual clinical agencies. All transportation and related expenses to off-campus clinical sites are the responsibility of the student and may require the use of a car.

Undergraduate Academic Progression Policy

The Academic Progression policy delineates the academic standards for pre-licensure students (students without an RN license), who are admitted to the undergraduate nursing program. The policy states that all prerequisite courses may be repeated only one time and failure of two nursing courses results in dismissal from the nursing major. Details of the academic progression policy are available in the student handbook.(http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/nurs/Handbooks/index.html).

Graduates of this major may qualify for admission to the RN to BS program in Nursing.

For the Associate in Science degree in Nursing, a minimum of 68 credits is required.

Integrated B.S. in Labor Studies and Employment Relations and M.S. in Human Resources and Employment Relations (LRHRER)

PROFESSOR PAUL F. CLARK, Head

The integrated LER B.S. and HRER M.S. is a five-year program designed for academically talented baccalaureate students to obtain both the B.S. and the M.S. degrees in LER and HRER with five years of study. Students will develop expertise in the human resources and labor relations fields beyond the B.S. degree. The undergraduate curriculum educates students about (1) the roles of employers, employees, employee organizations and public policy makers play in the employment relationship, (2) the complex personal and organizational issues inherent in the employment relationship (3) and how to systematically analyze those complex issues and evaluate research relevant to those analyses. The graduate curriculum provides for more individualized, focused learning in a concentrated sub-area of the HRER field. The program culminates with an M.S. research paper. Upon completion of the integrated degree, students will enter the workforce with advanced knowledge and expertise gained from conducting and analyzing empirical work and participating in seminar-style classes.

The integrated Spanish B.S. and HRER M.S. is a five-year program designed for highly qualified and motivated students seeking employment within a culturally diverse workplace. Students will develop basic skills in speaking, understanding, reading, and writing Spanish. Students will gain familiarity with Hispanic cultures through literature and the University's Education Abroad Program, if they choose to have that experience. Students also will learn about (1) the roles of employers, employees, employee organizations, and public policy makers play in the employment relationship, (2) the complex personal and organizational issues inherent in the employment relationship, and (3) how to systematically analyze those complex issues and evaluate research relevant to those analyses.

For the B. S./M. S. degree in Integrated Spanish B.S. and Human Resources and Employment Relations M.S., a minimum of 154 credits is required. Twelve graduate level credits can apply to both undergraduate and graduate degrees; six of these must be at the 500 level. Students can complete the B.S. in Spanish and not advanced to the M.S.

Biology

University Park, Eberly College of Science (BIOL)

PROFESSOR DOUGLAS CAVENER, Head

The curriculum in Biology is planned for preparation for professions requiring competence in biological science or for gaining an understanding of the world of living things. The professional group includes students who intend to secure advanced degrees through graduate study, students who are interested in work with various governmental agencies or industries having biological responsibilities, and students who want to prepare for careers in medicine or other health-related professions. Students whose interests are not professional select the curriculum because its broad approach can result in an educated view of the structure and function of living things. Achievement of these goals, including a special interest in a particular area of biology, can be met by selecting one of five options offered by the Department of Biology that will lead to the B.S. degree in Biology. The options and their key areas are 1) Plant Biology--morphology, systematics, and physiology of plants and fungi; 2) Ecology--behavior, and population and community biology of plants and animals; 3) General Biology--all aspects of modern biology; 4) Genetics and Developmental Biology--genetics, genetic engineering, and plant and animal development; 5) Neuroscience--development, biochemistry, physiology and aging of the central and peripheral nervous system; 6) Vertebrate Physiology--pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pharmacology, and animal physiology.

In order to be eligible for entrance to the Biology major, a student must have: 1) attained at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average; 2) completed BIOL 110 GN(4), CHEM 110 GN(3), MATH 140 GQ(4), and earned a grade of C or better in each of these courses; and 3) completed at least one of the following courses with a grade of C or better: BIOL 220W GN(4), BIOL 230W GN(4), or BIOL 240W GN(4).

TO VIEW THE Biology Minor (BIOL)

For the B.S. degree in Biology, a minimum of 124 credits is required.

Biology Minor

Penn State Altoona (BIOAL)
University Park, Eberly College of Science (BIOL)

This minor is designed for students in non-Life Science majors, who desire to obtain an in-depth and well-rounded knowledge of Biology -- the science of life and living organisms. This minor is not intended for "Life Science" oriented majors, including Biological Anthropology, Premedicine, and Science, Life Science option. After taking an introductory survey course which exposes students to the basics of Biology, including the chemistry of life, cell structure, genetics, mechanisms of evolution and evolutionary history of biological diversity, plant and animal form and function, and ecology, students select additional courses based on their biological emphasis to account for a total of 18-20 credits. In conjunction with the student's major, the minor prepares students for entry to graduate school or professional school programs, as well as for technical or research careers with governmental agencies or industry. Majors complemented by this minor would include but not be limited to other life and physical sciences, engineering, and business.

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

Forensic Science

University Park, The Eberly College of Science (FRNSC)

Forensic Science is the application of scientific principles and methods to assist criminal and civil investigations and litigation. This major is an inter-college collaboration among academic units and provides students with a strong foundation in the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences. It introduces them to relevant topics in forensic chemistry, forensic anthropology, forensic biology, forensic entomology, and appropriate social sciences. Students are educated on the role of forensic scientists in the criminal justice system, the collection and analysis of scientific evidence, and the manner in which evidence is presented in court. Graduates of this major could pursue employment as a scientist in a federal, state, or private forensic laboratory or with insurance companies, homeland security agencies, or the judicial community. Graduates could also choose to pursue graduate study in forensics; specializing in forensic science, forensic medicine, or areas such as forensic psychology, anthropology, pathology, odontology, entomology, or toxicology.

In order to be eligible for entrance to the Forensic Science major, a student must have: (1) attained at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (2) completed CHEM 110 GN(3), CHEM 111 GN(1), CHEM 112 GN(3), MATH 140 GQ(4), MATH 141 GQ(4), and earned a grade of C or better in each of these courses.

Integrated B.S. in Statistics and Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S.)

The Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate (IUG) degree with B.S. in Statistics and Master of Applied Statistics (M.A.S.) is designed to be completed in five years. This integrated degree will enable a select number of highly qualified and career-oriented students to obtain training in statistics focused on developing data analysis skills and exploration of core areas of applied statistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The M.A.S. degree is a professional master's degree that emphasizes applications and does not provide as much training in the mathematical and statistical theory. The degree prepares students with interests in mathematics, computation, and the quantitative aspects of science for careers in industry and government as statistical analyst. Research divisions in the pharmaceutical industry, quality control and quality engineering divisions in manufacturing companies, clinical research units, corporate planning and research units, and other data-intensive positions require persons with training in mathematics, computation, database management, and statistical analysis, which this program will provide.

Application Process

The number of openings in the integrated B.S./M.A.S. program is limited. Admission will be based on specific criteria and the recommendation of faculty. Applicants to the integrated program:

  1. Must be enrolled in the Statistics B.S. program.

  2. Must have completed at least 60 credits of the undergraduate degree program including the two courses: STAT 414 and STAT 415, and the students must apply to the program prior to completing 110 credits.

  3. Must submit a transcript and a statement of purpose.

  4. Must present a departmental-approved plan of study in the application process in consultation with the M.A.S. program director.

  5. Must be recommended by the chair of the department's undergraduate program committee.

  6. Must be accepted into the M.A.S. program in Statistics.

For the IUG B.S./M.A.S. degree, 120 credits are required for the B.S. and 30 credits for the M.A.S. The following twelve graduate-level credits (number of credits in parentheses) can apply to both B.S. and M.A.S. degrees; six of these are at the 500 level:

STAT 414 (3) Introduction to Probability Theory
STAT 415 (3) Introduction to Mathematical Statistics
STAT 501 (3) Regression Methods
STAT 502 (3) Analysis of Variance and Design of Experiments

Assuming all requirements for the B.S. are completed, students in the program can complete the B.S. degree and not advance to the M.A.S. Degree if they desire.

Degree Requirements

IUG Statistics B.S. prescribed Statistics courses: See above, but note that students in IUG Statistics B.S. take STAT 501 and 502 instead of STAT 460 and 462.

IUG Statistics M.A.S. requirement (30 credits)

STAT 414 (3) Introduction to Probability Theory
STAT 415 (3) Introduction to Mathematical Statistics
STAT 501 (3) Regression Methods
STAT 502 (3) Analysis of Variance and Design of Experiments

The associate degree program in Business Administration provides a foundation in business that, through two options, prepares graduates for either entrance to the Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB) programs in business or for direct entry into the work place. The primary objective of this major is to provide a business-oriented program with sufficient communicative and mathematical skills, socially relevant course work, and specific business specialties to develop a well-rounded and knowledgeable graduate.

The General Business Option provides an introductory foundation to core aspects of the business environment while also preparing students for future transfer into the Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB).

The Professional Studies Option provides a technically-oriented program that prepares students for direct entry into the work force. Because some of the course work in this option is not accepted in baccalaureate business programs, students are encouraged to work closely with faculty and staff advisers.

Students who plan to continue into BSB should meet with their advisers regarding entrance to major and other related requirements.

For the Associate in Science degree in Business Administration, a minimum of 60 credits is required.

This program, offered at Penn State Harrisburg, emphasizes the interdisciplinary study of American society and culture. It serves students who want to investigate the American experience and apply their studies in a variety of professions, including education, government, communications, and museums. It is the distinguishing characteristic of the program that the large majority of its course offerings are taught by faculty trained in the discipline of American Studies and bearing the "American Studies" title. The program offers a number of concentrations including folklore, cultural history (politics, popular culture, media studies), international American Studies, material and visual culture (art, architecture, craft, landscape, food, clothing, medicine), public heritage (museums, historic preservation, archiving, cultural resource management), race and ethnicity, and regional studies.

The campus is located in a rich cultural region, surrounded by Amish Farmlands, Gettysburg, Hershey, Steelton, Ephrata, Carlisle, York, and Harrisburg. Additionally, proximity to the major cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York offer a host of research options for students. Strong ties with local educational and cultural institutions, including the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, State Museum of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Farm Museum of Landis Valley, Hershey Museum, National Civil War Museum, and the Dauphin County Historical Society, Cumberland County Historical Society, and other Public Heritage resources provide excellent learning opportunities for students.

This degree can be earned by full- or part-time study. Most 500-level courses are offered in the evening as the program strives to meet students' needs.

Admission Requirements

The graduate program in American Studies accepts students from a wide array of disciplines--particularly art, history, English, sociology, and anthropology--but recommends educational preparation related to the interdisciplinary study of American culture. The graduate program in American Studies accepts baccalaureate degrees earned from accredited institutions. Conditions of the degree must be equivalent to the conditions required for a degree from Penn State. All applicants must submit: a completed application form with the application fee; two official transcripts of all colleges and universities attended (minimum of 2.75 junior/senior grade-point average on a 4.00 scale); two letters of recommendation from individuals who can attest to the student's ability to handle graduate study; a statement of intent (approx. 1,000 words outlining their preparation for study, proposed fields of study, and career goals; and a sample of written work (seminar paper or equivalent research paper) as evidence of their American research and writing skills.

An application is available on the Web at www.hbg.psu.edu or by calling 717-948-6250. Submit materials for fall admission before February 15 and for spring admission before October 15. Students applying for scholarships and assistantships are requested to submit general examination scores of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) taken within five years previous to the date of application. The GRE is recommended, but not required, for admission.

All international applicants whose first language is not English or who have not received baccalaureate or master's degrees from an institution in which the language of instruction is English must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language: www.toefl.org) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and submit the results of that test with the application for admission. A TOEFL score of 550 on the paper test, a score of 213 on the computer-based test, or 80 points on the new Internet-based test with a minimum of 23 points on the new speaking portion is required for admission; or an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) minimum composite score of 6.5. The IELTS exam tests four mandatory skill areas: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

Completed international application material must be submitted by the following deadlines. Applications received after the deadlines will be processed for the following semester: fall semester, February 15; spring semester, October 15. Applications received after these deadlines will be processed for the following semester.

Degree Requirements

The student is required to take a minimum of 30 credits in American Studies, including at least 18 credits in the 500 series; AM ST 500, 591, and AM ST 580 or 600 are required. AM ST 500 should be taken within the first two semesters of study; AM ST 591 should be taken in the last two semesters of study. Usually in the last semester of study, students are required to complete their program with a major paper by taking AM ST 580 or thesis in which case AM ST 600 is taken. The choice of AM ST 580 to fulfill graduation requirements is for an original scholarly master's paper or project. One to six credits in AM ST 580 can be earned; the typical number of credits for the culminating project is three. The choice of AM ST 600 is for a thesis and is taken for 6 credits. The thesis must follow the guidelines established by the Thesis Office of the Graduate School (see http://www.gradsch.psu.edu/current/thesis.html).

Admission Requirements

Admission is granted only to candidates who demonstrate high promise of success for graduate work. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Applicants are required to take the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) administered by the Educational Testing Service, Box 966, Princeton, NJ 08541; telephone (609) 771-7330.

Admission decisions are based on the following: undergraduate grade-point average; the degree of correspondence between the applicant's objectives and those of the program; three letters of reference; and GMAT score. Favorable consideration will be given to applicants who have significant work experience. An applicant's GMAT score plus undergraduate grade-point average (multiplied by 200) must total at least 1,050 to be considered for admission. A minimum GMAT score of 450 is required. However, admission is competitive and higher scores may be required, depending on the qualifications of the applicants. Entering graduate students for whom English is not the first language are required to have a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of at least 550 on the paper-based test and at least 213 on the computer-based test, or 80 points on the new Internet-based test with a minimum of 23 points on the speaking portion; or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) with a minimum composite score of 6.5 for admission. Admission is open during the fall and spring semesters, as well as during the summer session.

Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in writing by having earned a grade of B or higher in a college English composition or writing course or by achieving a score of four or higher on the GMAT Analytical Writing Assessment. Students who fail to meet at least one of these two criteria must complete a college English composition or writing course and earn a grade of B or higher or retake the GMAT test and score four or higher on the Analytical Writing Assessment. This requirement must be satisfied during either the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation.

All students must be computer literate and have ready and reliable access to a computer and the Internet to successfully complete the MBA program. Students must know how to use word processing software, log-on to an Internet provider, and use E-mail. Additionally, MBS students must have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office programs including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.

Master's Degree Requirements

The Master of Business Administration degree program consists of three parts:

Foundation Core Courses (18 credits): These courses introduce students to the ethical, legal, social, political, technological, and societal environment of business, accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, operations management, and the application of quantitative methods to the analysis of business problems. Completion of the foundation core, consisting of B ADM 500, B ADM 501, and B ADM 503, prepares students for the program's advanced required courses and electives. The foundation core is required of all applicants who have not completed an undergraduate degree in business or previous undergraduate or graduate course work relevant to the foundation core requirements.

Applicants who have, within seven years prior to the date of their admission to degree candidacy, completed a baccalaureate degree in business from an accredited institution that includes course content equivalent to the foundation core courses may be exempted from part or all of this requirement as long as the previously completed courses carry grades of B or higher. An applicant who, within seven years prior to his or her admission to degree candidacy, completed a baccalaureate degree in a non-business field from an accredited institution that includes equivalent undergraduate or graduate courses carrying a grade of B or higher also may be exempted from relevant portions of the foundation core courses. Applicants who have maintained currency of knowledge through relevant business experience and continuing professional education in one or more of the areas within the foundation core courses and who completed relevant course work more than seven years prior to admission to degree status may also be exempted from relevant portions of foundation core requirements. Exemption from foundation core requirements is granted in accordance with the course exemption guidelines for the MBA program.

Advanced Required Courses (18 credits): These courses build on the knowledge base established in the foundation core and provide greater depth of knowledge in the subject areas included. This component of the MBA program consists of five 3-credit courses that cover advanced topics in cost management, finance, information systems management, managing a diverse workforce, global operations and supply chain management, and strategic management and business policy.

All students are required to complete this requirement which includes B ADM 510, B ADM 511, B ADM 512, B ADM 513, B ADM 514, and B ADM 532 unless they can demonstrate advanced knowledge of the course subject matter through prior course work, extensive experience and/or advanced professional education. Students who believe they have knowledge of an advanced required course must submit a written request and documentation describing their knowledge of the course subject matter. If approved, the student will substitute an additional elective course for the advanced required course.

Elective Courses (12 credits): All students are required to take 12 credits of elective courses covering advanced topics of their choice. Elective courses allow students to pursue a particular area in depth, choose particular subjects of interest, and gain an appreciation of more complex issues facing managers. Electives must include at least 3 credits of internationally focused course work from the program approved list of courses. MBA students may also apply a maximum of 6 credits of approved 400-level course work toward elective requirements. Course work at the 400 level must be approved by the director of the MBA program and cannot have been used for another degree.

Transfer Credits: Students may transfer a maximum of 9 credit hours from another accredited graduate program to fulfill elective or advanced required courses. Application of transfer credits to the student's academic program must be approved by the director of the MBA program and be in compliance with Graduate School requirements described in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

35-06-538 Add Master of Professional Studies in Community and Econonmic Development.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2007

Master of Professional Studies in Community and Economic Development (MPS CEDEV)

The Master of Professional Studies in Community and Economic Development (MPS CEDEV) is a 30-credit terminal master's degree program that emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to community and economic development. The program balances theory and practice. Courses taught in MPS CEDEV use a blend of Web technology, print, and other media to provide an effective balance of flexibility and interaction. Individuals who currently work with, or are interested in working with communities, community organizations and stakeholders, or on a range of community and economic development issues at the state or national levels would benefit from this program. The MPS CEDEV program requires the completion of seven core courses (21 credits) in which students learn and apply sociological and economic concepts to issues in community and economic development. The courses offer examples and opportunities to apply these concepts to real issues facing communities and rural regions. Two of the core courses (6 credits) emphasize statistical methods and tools and techniques useful to practitioners in community and economic development. Students then can take from 3 to 6 credits of elective coursework to focus on their particular interests within community and economic development, or to work toward additional certifications. All students are required to complete a project, paper or internship (3 to 6 credits) that integrates theory and practice.

Instruction in the MPS CEDEV program emphasizes key themes that include economic planning and development; municipal finance, land use and population change; community structure, organization and process; leadership; tools and techniques in community development; community decision-making and capacity building. Students also may complete 12 credits in the core and a professional paper and earn a Post-baccalaureate Certificate in Community and Economic Development.

Degree Requirements

The professional Master's degree requires 30 credits including a final integrative assessment/experience. All students complete the required MPS CEDEV core program of community and economic development courses, statistics, and methods. The MPS CEDEV courses consist of CEDEV 430, CEDEV 452, CEDEV 500, CEDEV 505, and CEDEV 509. The statistics, methods, and techniques requirement includes STAT 500 (or the equivalent) and CEDEV 575. CEDEV 576 is an optional summer institute focusing on applications and practices for community and economic development. An integrative paper, project, or internship is required where the student demonstrates the capability to integrate and apply concepts, principles, analytical techniques and interpretation skills learned in the program to a real problem faced by a community or community organization. Choice of electives will be based on a plan of study worked out between the student and faculty adviser. There is no foreign language requirement for the degree, however, students planning to work in multi-cultural or international settings are encouraged to gain competency in an appropriate language(s). A total of 18 credits must be 500 level or higher, with at least 6 credits of 500-level course work. This Graduate School requirement is met through the required courses and the project, internship or paper credits.

Part of the student's training is participation in professional development activities. These are selected by the student from course preparation/delivery, experience in insect identification clinics, experience in museum collection, preparation of multimedia educational materials, and entrepreneurial activities. Students are able to specialize in the research program areas of insect­plant interactions, environmental and developmental regulation of genes, artificial intelligence and modeling, population biology, ecology and biodiversity, integrated pest management, and environmental quality and application technology. Additional specialization is available to students performing research with insects in the intercollege degree programs in genetics, ecology, and plant physiology.

Admission Requirements

Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

For admission a student should have a strong background in biological sciences. Courses in chemistry through organic, physics, mathematics through calculus, statistics, and computer application are recommended.

Master's Degree Requirements

The master of science degree in Entomology is an intermediate degree leading toward the development of special knowledge in entomology. It provides training for prospective doctoral candidates. The program requires all students to take (or have the equivalent of) ENT 410, 412, and 457, Professional Development and Ethics, Insect Ecology, Natural History, Insection Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics, and a minimum of 3 credits of statistics. Additional courses may be selected by the student in consultation with his/her graduate committee. Each student must present the results of thesis research at a departmental seminar, and the student may register for 1 credit of ENT 590 that semester. A final oral examination covering the general field of entomology, with emphasis in the student’s area of specialization, is required by the department. This is to be administered by the student’s committee. A favorable vote of a two-thirds majority is necessary for passing.

Doctoral Degree Requirements

The degree of doctor of philosophy signifies high scholastic achievement and demonstrated capability in independent research. Although there is no formal credit requirement, it will normally require at least three years of graduate work. Some of the work may be completed off campus or on a part-time basis, but between the time of acceptance as a candidate and completing the degree requirements the student must spend two academic sessions in residence within a twelve-month period. The department requires that all students have ENT 410, 412, and 457, Professional Development and Ethics, Insect Ecology, Natural History, Insect Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics, or their equivalent. Other course requirements are dependent on the student’s program of study. The results of the dissertation research must be presented at a departmental seminar. A minor is not required, but a student may elect a minor in general studies or a related field. This consists of no fewer than 15 credits.

There is no foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. degree. However, depending on the nature of the thesis research and with the advice and consent of the Doctoral Committee, competency in a foreign language may be required as a part of the doctoral studies of certain students. (Students are not formally admitted to the doctoral candidacy until they have passed a candidacy examination. A favorable vote by two-thirds of the committee members is necessary for acceptance of a candidate.)

Student Aid

Graduate assistantships available to students in this program and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Graduate courses carry numbers from 500 to 599 and 800 to 899. Advanced undergraduate courses numbered between 400 and 499 may be used to meet some graduate degree requirements when taken by graduate students. Courses below the 400 level may not. A graduate student may register for or audit these courses in order to make up deficiencies or to fill in gaps in previous education but not to meet requirements for an advanced degree.

SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
This interdepartmental doctoral minor draws upon the opportunities that various departments offer to study the processes of language acquisition and pedagogy, and to conduct research in these fields. Developments in the theories of language acquisition, the practices in language instruction, and the technical innovations provide a wide range of resources for secondary specializations in second language acquisition theory. The minor provides an official credential for doctoral students who complete an organized program of study.
The minor requires a minimum of 15 credits at the 400, 500, or 600 levels (beyond credits used for degree requirements in the student’s field of study), consisting of one or two methodology courses totaling 3 credits and 12 additional credits selected from an interdepartmental list of eligible courses, with approval both by the student’s doctoral committee in his or her major field, and by the person in charge of the minor. A maximum of 6 credits may be taken at the 400 level, and no more than 3 credits of 602 may count toward the minor. Courses in at least two departments must be included. Further, students must complete at least two semesters’ experience in supervised teaching of either a foreign language or ESL, or alternative equivalent practicum if approved by the doctoral committee and the person in charge of the Minor.
In general, students whose major field of study in the Ph.D. is a concentration in foreign language acquisition or ESL are not eligible for this minor, as their field of specialization already includes this area. However, students in English as a Second Language may do the minor with a focus on foreign language acquisition or a student with a specialty area in forced language acquisition may complete the minor with a specialty area in English as a Second Language.

SOCIAL THOUGHT
The purpose of the Social Thought minor is to enable graduate students in a variety of fields to study theories of society across conventional disciplinary boundaries. The minor enables qualified students to enrich their own chosen fields of study with readings and discoveries from other, contiguous fields. The minor requires at least 15 credits of courses with social thought content. These are courses taught by STP Affiliated Faculty or those approved by the STP Advisory Committee. Those 15 credits must include the following: at least 9 credits of courses from outside the student's major discipline and SOCTH 501 -- Introduction to Social Thought. In addition, at least one member of the student's dissertation committee must be an STP Affiliated Faculty and preferably be from outside the student's major discipline.

The Master of Professional Studies in Supply Chain Management (MPS/SCM) is awarded to students who demonstrate mastery of the knowledge, problem-solving competencies, and leadership skills that are critical to leading business transformation through integrated supply chain planning and execution. The program emphasizes problem-based learning coupled with integrative, collaborative learning experiences to develop the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities for effective supply chain management. Instruction is delivered on line and in a short course at an on- or off-campus location, so that working professionals will complete the degree as part-time students working largely or entirely, off campus.

Admission Requirements

Students applying to the professional MPS/SCM degree program must be admitted by both the MPS/SCM program and the Graduate School at The Pennsylvania State University. The Graduate School requires applicants to have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution earned under residence and credit conditions substantially equivalent to those required by Penn State. Applicants whose first language is not English or who have received a baccalaureate or master's degree from an institution in which the language of instruction is not English must take either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) module and submit the results of that test with the application for admission. The TOEFL test is offered in different formats depending on location. A score of at least 600 on the paper-based TOEFL or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL must be attained. A minimum total score of 80, along with a minimum score of 23 on the speaking portion, is required for the Internet-based test (iBT). Information about the TOEFL can be obtained by writing to the Educational Testing Service, Box 6155, Princeton, NJ 08541-6155 or visiting their web site at www.toefl.org. Alternatively, a minimum composite score of 6.5 on the IELTS test is required for admission. Information about the IELTS can be obtained by contacting IELTS International, 100 East Corson Street, Suite 200, Pasadena, CA 91103 or visiting its Web site at www.ielts.org.

Additionally, the graduate program in Supply Chain Management requires:

  • A completed Smeal College of Business application for graduate study including Graduate School application fee
  • A current resume, along with a statement of professional experience and goals. This statement of approximately two pages must describe the applicant's professional goals, experience, and responsibilities. The statement must also indicate why the applicant is applying to the professional MPS/SCM program at Penn State
  • One letter of recommendation relevant to the applicant's professional capabilities, such as preferably from the employee's immediate supervisor, which should address the applicant's readiness for graduate study
  • Official transcripts from all completed graduate and undergraduate coursework

  • Official Graduate Management Admission Test scores reported directly from the testing center to Penn State

A committee consisting of three SC&IS Department faculty meet once annually to review applications and identify applicants qualified for admission. Admissions decisions are based on a review of a complete admission portfolio, including an application, the statement of professional experience and goals, a current resume, official transcripts from each undergraduate and graduate institution attended, the letter of recommendation, and GMAT scores. An applicant's credentials are compared to the standards set by other candidates in the current application pool. Approved applicants are admitted in time to enroll for the fall semester offerings that begin in early August.

Degree Requirements

Students earn the professional MPS/SCM degree by successfully completing 30 graduate credits in supply chain management courses and a high-quality professional paper as a culminating experience. All MPS/SCM credits must be earned in courses at the 500 level or above including at least 6 credits at the 500 level. The professional paper demonstrates the student's ability to apply advanced supply chain management knowledge to a supply chain-related problem or situation in a way that makes a substantial contribution to the student's professional development. The program requires a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.00 and no course grade below a C. All requirements for the professional MPS/SCM degree, including acceptance of the professional paper, must be met within four years of admission to degree status. Students are expected to make continuous progress toward the degree. Leaves of absence, however, may be granted under exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

A maximum of 10 credits of high quality graduate work completed at other accredited institutions may be applied toward the requirements for the professional MPS/SCM degree. However, credits earned to complete a previously completed professional or academic post baccalaureate degree, whether at Penn State or elsewhere, may not be applied to a second post baccalaureate degree program at Penn State. Approval to apply any transferred credits toward a degree program must be granted by the student's academic adviser or program and the Graduate School. Transferred academic work must have been completed within five years prior to the date of first degree registration at the Graduate School, must be of at least B quality (grades of B- are not transferable), and must appear on an official graduate transcript of an accredited university.
