Career opportunities for the Agricultural Systems Management graduates exist in the production and management phases of agricultural enterprises. Graduates are employed as sales and field representatives, financial and technical consultants, and technical service or production personnel. Employment opportunities exist in the management and application of technology to power and machinery systems, soil and water systems, food production and processing systems, and agricultural structures and environmental systems.
This is an applied major that combines the study of agricultural sciences, engineering technology, natural resources, business, and management systems. The program is administered through the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, which offers a series of courses to provide the technical background for the graduate. Basic study is emphasized in the agricultural and business management sciences, along with the application of the technical results of engineering research, design, and manufacturing. Graduates of this major apply their technology/management training to the diverse areas of food and fiber production, food processing, and management of land and water resources.
For the B.S. degree in Agricultural Systems Management, a minimum of 122 credits is required.

The mission of the B.S. program in Forest Science is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and professional ethics for understanding and managing forest ecosystems and living as responsible members of society.
The Forest Science major provides for the education necessary for students to pursue professional careers in one of the following options: (1) Forest Biology, (2) Forest Management, (3) Urban Forestry, and (4) Watershed Management. These options also will help prepare students for graduate studies in continuing professional education.
FOREST BIOLOGY OPTION: This option provides a strong background in the biological and ecological aspects of contemporary forestry and establishes a sound foundation for professional employment and graduate-level study in forest and environmental sciences.
FOREST MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option provides professional training in the management of forest lands consistent with the needs of ownership objectives. Employment opportunities include forest management positions with public agencies, industry, and private consulting.
URBAN FORESTRY OPTION: This option helps prepare students to manage community trees and green spaces. It emphasizes technical expertise, communication abilities, and skills for working with diverse people. Employment opportunities include municipalities, arboricultural companies, utilities, and government agencies.
WATERSHED MANAGEMENT OPTION: This option focuses on water resources and the integrated management of natural resources with emphasis on water. Graduates qualify for federal employment as hydrologists and for water-related careers in municipal watershed management, state and local government, and environmental/engineering consulting.
For the B.S. degree in Forest Science, a minimum of 129 credits is required for the Forest Biology, Forest Management, and Urban Forestry options, and a minimum of 130 credits for the Watershed Management option. Students should be aware that completion of the Forest Science degree in four years requires enrollment at the University Park Campus beginning the fall semester of the sophomore year.

The purpose of the Wildlife and Fisheries Science major is to develop the knowledge, skills, and professional ethics of undergraduates interested in the conservation and management of fish and wildlife and their environments. The curriculum is designed to provide a broad-based science background that incorporates natural resource management principles that prepare our students for a diverse array of opportunities such as graduate school, natural resource management agencies, consulting firms, non-profits, etc. Students can choose from two options: Wildlife option and Fisheries option. Each option enables students to gain greater depth of knowledge in one area of the discipline. Coursework required for the Wildlife option meets The Wildlife Society's requirements for professional certification, and coursework required for the Fisheries option meets the American Fisheries Society's requirements for professional certification.
For the B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science, a minimum of 120 credits is required for the Wildlife option and a minimum of 122 credits is required for the Fisheries option.

The two-year, college-level academic
Business Administration major is designed to provide instruction in business
administration that fulfills the requirements of various levels of responsibility
higher than that held by high school graduates. This program also is designed
to articulate with Pennsylvania Department of Education-approved Tech Prep programs.
Secondary school Tech Prep business students who have graduated from a program
covered by a signed Penn State Tech Prep Articulation Agreement may be eligible
for special admission procedures and/or advanced placement. Contact your local
Penn State campus for more information.
The primary objective of this major is to provide a managerially oriented program
with sufficient communicative and mathematical skills, socially relevant course
work, and options composed of advanced courses in specific business specialties
to develop a well-rounded and technically knowledgeable graduate. Five options
are available for the student: Accounting, General Business, Information Systems,
Management, and Marketing. Not all options are available at every campus.
Graduates of this program may also qualify for admission to baccalaureate degree programs in Business or related fields at all Penn State campuses. It articulates particularly well with the Bachelor of Science in Business degree offered by Abington College, Altoona College, Berks-Lehigh Valley College, and the University College.
For the Associate in Science degree in Business Administration, a minimum of 68 credits is required.

The Bachelor of Science in Business (B.S.B.) is an upper-division, professionally oriented business degree for individuals who are seeking general preparation in business. The degree combines the theoretical underpinnings of core business disciplines, notably management, marketing, finance, and logistics, with applied study in a practical setting, especially the small-business climates across most of the Commonwealth. Through the choice of an 18-credit option, students develop a specialty related to a key business sector. Students also develop written and oral communication skills throughout the program, acquire contemporary computer skills, and engage in active and collaborative learning. The degree allows students throughout the Commonwealth to become familiar with the unique business environments of their local communities, a design that sets the degree apart from other business degrees offered both within the University and throughout the Commonwealth.
The associate degree in business administration at Penn State articulates with the degree. Advanced-standing students from other accredited colleges or universities will be admitted only with specified grade-point averages established annually in accordance with University policy.

PROFESSOR MARK S. KLIMA, Undergraduate Program Officer
The B.S. program in Environmental Systems Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone: 410-347-7700. It is an interdisciplinary program concerned with the impact of industrial activities on the environment and the choice of cost-effective remediation strategies. The program is unique as it is designed to address critical environmental problems of the basic industries such as those involved in the extraction, conversion, and utilization of energy and mineral resources. The courses are sequenced so that students acquire an appropriate blend of theory, applications, and design and are equipped with the fundamentals necessary to maintain lifelong professional growth. Graduates are prepared to enter both the private and public sectors as environmental systems engineers or to pursue further education at the graduate level.
During the first two years, the program shares many common features (e.g., mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering mechanics) with other more traditional engineering disciplines. Students then take a series of special courses that introduce engineering concepts in the extractive and process industries. Process engineering and a variety of solid-solid, solid-fluid, and fluid-fluid separations play a major and often dominant role in the prevention and/or remediation of environmental damage resulting from industrial activity. Students then specialize in the particular problems associated with air, land, or water or select a hybrid program. Specialization is accomplished through a combination of additional designated courses and selection from an extensive list of relevant elective courses, which may include a senior thesis. The curriculum is structured so as to integrate design concepts into the various subject areas covered in the program.
The human, societal, economic, ethical, and regulatory aspects of the industrial impact on the environment are addressed through a combination of specific courses and components of other more general courses. This aspect of the program is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding, both of the impact of environmental degradation on society and of the effects on industrial activity of society's demands for protection of the environment. The program culminates with the capstone design course, which is an integrated, problem-based, multi-faceted project in which students, working in a team setting, utilize fundamental concepts to design an environmental remediation system.
The integration of knowledge and skills acquired during the course of study enables graduates of Penn State's Environmental Systems Engineering program to:
For the B.S. degree in Environmental Systems Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

PROFESSOR DAVID M. BICE, Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs
Geobiology is the interdisciplinary study of the Earth and it biosphere. It embraces the history of life and its interactions with the Earth over geologic time; it also includes study of interactions between living organisms and physical and chemical processes in the modern environment on Earth, and possibly elsewhere in the universe. Thus, geobiology encompasses the fields of paleobiology and paleontology, biogeochemistry, geomicrobiology, and astrobiology. The degree program provides students with a strong background in general science and especially in Geosciences and Biology, with core selections from both disciplines. Students gain practical field experience in the study of the physical environment and ecological properties. The senior thesis provides students with hands-on research experience, as well as an emphasis on data synthesis and the written expression of scientific observations and ideas. Students will be well prepared for advanced studies in this emerging discipline, and for careers in the environmental sciences. Geobiology is critical to the study of environmental quality, global change and environmental-human health interactions, all of which have profound importance in legal, economic, and policy arenas.
For the B.S. degree in Geobiology, a minimum of 121 credits is required.

Education in mathematics, physics, and engineering sciences common to all engineering disciplines is provided along with specialized training in biological and agricultural sciences. The curriculum covers all areas of agricultural and biological engineering, including food engineering, postharvest handling and processing of commodities, power and machinery development and applications, resource management and utilization, soil and water management, and structures and their environmental modifications, product synthesis using microbiological organisms, and food safety. A student can select the Agricultural Engineering option or the Biological and Food Engineering option.
The objectives of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering program include:
Design experiences are integrated throughout the junior-year curriculum by having students solve problems typical of those encountered in the Agricultural and Biological Engineering profession. Two major design experiences in the senior year emphasize that Agricultural and Biological Engineers must learn not only how to create and use the newest technology, but also to assess and manage the social and ethical consequences of that technology.
Careers for graduates include design, development, and research engineering positions involving food processing, machinery development, soil and water management, materials handling, biological product development, and structural systems for animals, plants, and crop storage. Agricultural and biological engineers are employed in industry, consulting firms, and governmental agencies in the United States and abroad. Graduates deal with the various engineering aspects associated with production and processing of food, fiber, and other biological materials, within the constraints of environmental protection and natural resource conservation.
For the B.S. degree in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, a minimum of 129 credits is required. This baccalaureate program in Agricultural and Biological Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone 410-347-7700; or www.abet.org.

PROFESSOR ANDREW SCANLON, Head, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The program in Civil and Environmental Engineering is designed to provide the basic undergraduate education required for private practice and public service in civil engineering, and/or continue formal education. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of civil engineering principles and design techniques. Students utilize basic engineering science concepts in several of the different specialty areas (e.g., construction/management, environmental, materials/pavement design/geotechnical, structures, transportation, and water resources). Finally the students are able to choose an area of specialization for professional practice or graduate studies. Their area of specialization culminates in a capstone design experience. The overall objectives of the program are for the students to have:
The technical program is broadened by courses in communication, arts, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, as well as other engineering disciplines. Students gain experience in working as members of a team and using interdisciplinary approaches to solve problems. These experiences, as well as those related to engineering principles and design, are provided through exercises in the classroom, laboratory, and field. The program culmination is a capstone design course wherein the students' knowledge and skills are applied to actual engineering problems.
For the B.S. degree in Civil Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required. This baccalaureate program in Civil Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone 410-347-7700; or www.abet.org.

Proposed effective date: Summer Session 2007
Intercollege Progam (BMH)
The tremendous current activity in the biomedical sciences affects both the public and private sectors, including medical care, the pharmaceutical industry, genetics, environmental epidemiology, agricultural science, the insurance industry, occupational health, forensic sciences, and behavioral variation. All these areas go beyond the science itself, with varied impact on people in different age, sex, ethnic, geographic, or economic segments of society. For that reason, life and health sciences research has major social implications that bear on humanities disciplines ranging from ethics and history to religious studies and literature, affecting clinical practice, agricultural practice and research, public policy and private investment. Understanding these issues is important for an informed citizenry. Students electing the BMH minor will start with a basic background of biology coursework, and will take a curriculum that includes 18 credit hours, beginning with an introductory course on basic ideas of bioethics, followed by a choice of other relevant humanities courses, and capped with an integrative course involving original research by the student. The minor will be suitable for students in almost any major, especially students going on to further academic work or careers in health, the life sciences, informatics, forensic or legal professions.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

PROFESSOR JOSEPH LAMBERT, in charge, College of Information Sciences and
Technology
The Internet and other technologies are emerging as important communication channels. People establish personal relations online, develop language skills, conduct business, and make arguments online. Web sites 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 need information management skills. As a result, it is essential for Communication Arts and Sciences students to be fully versed in information sciences and technology for both personal and professional advancement. 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.
