This major helps graduates prepare to be occupational therapy assistants who are qualified to be employed by agencies that provide occupational therapy and related services. The goal of occupational therapy is to enable the client to be as independent as possible in the daily performance of self-care, productive, and leisure occupations. General education, basic science, and occupational therapy courses are followed by supervised field experience. Upon successful graduation from the program, students must sit for and successfully pass the NBCOT national certification examination to practice. Most states also require licensure as a condition for employment.
To enter this major, students must have a high school diploma or its equivalent. To be admitted to degree candidacy, the applicant must have completed educational background requirements called Carnegie Units or Secondary School Units. Students are responsible for proof of liability insurance and other requirements specified by the facility providing supervised field experience.
The size of each entering class is limited so that optimal clinical experiences and practical application situations can be maintained. Students enter the program only during the fall semester and are expected to progress through the program in the prescribed manner. Fieldwork affiliations are maintained over a wide geographical area. Students may be required to make special housing and transportation arrangements during the fieldwork phase. Students must complete all Level II fieldwork within twenty-four months of successful completion of OTA didactic course work.
For the Associate in Science degree in Occupational Therapy, a minimum of 66 credits is required.

This major helps prepare professional practitioners in areas of health promotion and maintenance, illness care, and rehabilitation. After earning the baccalaureate degree, students are qualified to take the registered nurse examination for licensure by the State Board of Nursing. The major in Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accreditating Commission (NLNAC) and approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. To be eligible for entrance into the Nursing major, a student must have earned a grade of C or better in ENGL 015 GWS(3); PSY 002 GS(3); HD FS 129 GS(3), SOC 001 GS(3) or 005 GS(3); CHEM 011(3); CHEM 012 GN(3) and 014 GN(1); MICRB 106 GN(3), 107 GN(1); BIOL 129(4), 141 GN(3), 142(1); QUANTIFICATION selection; STAT 200 GQ(4); NUTR 251 GHS(3).
Full-time students are assigned to a rotation plan for scheduling clinical nursing courses at University Park campus and clinical settings in various locations. The rotation plan may require a summer session at the end of the sophomore year. Students may be required to reside at locations other than University Park campus in some semesters. Registered nurses who want to obtain a baccalaureate degree may earn credit by examination for selected nursing and general education courses. Registered nurse students also can matriculate in the R.N./B.S. Undergraduate Nursing program offered at several other Penn State campuses.
Students must carry liability insurance and have an annual health examination when enrolled in any clinical courses. Students also are responsible for their own transportation to clinical settings.

ADD new Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering as follows:Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 1999
The Master of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering program is intended to assist students in preparation for a technical career involving manufacturing, including modeling, control and automation related activities. The one year Professional Master's program is aimed at preparing students with a breadth of technical and managerial skills that will allow them to make significant contributions in an industry setting.
Manufacturing engineering programs typically focus on the technical issues associated with bringing a product to fruition given a design specification. However, manufacturing topics span activities from product design to processes planning to production engineering to product certification as well as the integrative issues associated with these topics. Each student is responsible for defining and completing the coursework related to these topics. For the Mfg. Eng. Degree, at least 31 credits beyond the bachelor's degree are required: 15 credits in industrial engineering , 15 credits of 500 level courses, and a 1 credit technical paper(IE594) . The program structure is intended as a framework that will allow students significant flexibility, yet will insure that each graduate will possess a strong technical manufacturing focus.

ADD new Ph.D. in Nursing as follows:Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 1999
Sarah Hall Gueldner, D.S.N., Director of the School of Nursing
201 Health and Human Development East
Degrees Conferred: Ph.D., M.S. (thesis and non-thesis options)
Admission Requirements: Requirements listed here are in addition to Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
1. Students are required to submit transcripts of all previous course work from institutions of higher learning; scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE); three letters of reference (at least two from faculty members) evaluating aptitude for doctoral study; and at least one sample of scholarly writing (published or unpublished scientific paper, thesis, etc.).
2. Students entering the doctoral program via the traditional post-master's route must have earned a master's degree with a major in nursing from a program accredited by a national accrediting agency for nursing. The applications of well qualified applicants with a baccalaureate degree in nursing and master's degree in a related discipline (e.g., public health) will be evaluated individually to assess the need for prerequisite master's level course work in nursing.
3. Cumulative grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale for master's and subsequent course work.
4. Competitive scores on all three components of the GRE.
5. International students for whom English is not the primary language must demonstrate competence in English, as reflected in a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score of 550 or above on a paper-based test, or 213 or above on a computer-based test.
6. License to practice professional nursing in at least one state (or in a foreign country).
7. Curriculum vitae and goal statement indicating that research interests and aptitudes are congruent with identified specialty areas of faculty expertise within the program.
8. An interview with graduate faculty members, in person or via telephone conference.
Applicants who exhibit exceptional qualities without meeting all of the stated requirements for admission may be considered for provisional admission while removing identified deficiencies. Deficiencies must be rectified within the first two semesters in the program; courses taken to remove deficiencies are considered to be prerequisites and do not earn credit toward the doctoral degree.
Doctoral Degree Requirements: Requirements listed here are in addition to Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Candidacy Examination: All students must satisfactorily complete the candidacy examination, which is designed to confirm the student's mastery of basic nursing theory and research methods. For students entering the doctoral program with a master's degree, the candidacy examination must be taken before the end of the first year of full-time study or the equivalent. Students who fail the examination on the first attempt may repeat it once. Students who fail the examination the second time are terminated from the program.
Comprehensive Examination: The comprehensive examination is designed to test the student's mastery of and ability to synthesize and integrate the theoretical basis for nursing science, advanced research methods and the chosen specialty area. This examination is taken upon completion of all course work. Students who fail the examination on the first attempt may repeat it once. Students who fail the examination the second time are terminated from the program.
English Competency: All students will be assessed for deficiencies in reading, writing and speaking of English during the core nursing courses prior to the candidacy examination; and should remedial work be necessary, the student will be directed to the appropriate sources. International students will be advised that the passage of the minimal TOEFL requirement does not demonstrate the level of competence expected of a Ph.D. in Nursing.
Communication and Language Requirement: A foreign language will not be required. However, all students are required to be computer literate in word processing and use of statistical packages as determined by their dissertation committee and will be assessed for communication skills during core nursing courses.
Dissertation: Each student is required to conduct an original and independent research project which adds to nursing's body of knowledge and to communicate the research report in a written dissertation. A written dissertation proposal is required and must be approved at a proposal hearing by a majority vote of the student's dissertation committee. A majority vote is also required for approval of the completed written dissertation at the final oral defense.
