Forest Science (FORSC)

PROFESSOR KIM C. STEINER, Program Coordinator

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.

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.

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, utilties, 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 muncipal watershed management, state and local govenrment, and environmental/engineering consulting.

FOREST SCIENCE MINOR: Students must take FOR 203(3), 308(3), 366(4), and 421(3), and select at least 6 credits of additional courses (at least 3 credits at the 400 level) from FOR 239(3), 320(2), 416(3), 440(3), 455(3), 470(3), 475(3), 480(3), or other FOR courses by petition to the Forest Science faculty, for a minimum of 19 credits.

Wood Products (W P)

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 401(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.

Environmental Studies (ENVST)

PROFESSOR JAMES WINSOR, Head

This interdisciplinary major is designed to provide students with an integrated and critical knowledge of the natural environment and human interactions with it. Students will receive a strong foundation in the natural sciences but will extend their studies across several disciplines, emphasizing both public policy issues and the role of the natural environment in history and culture. The goal of the program is "ecological literacy," which means that students will develop a broad-based understanding and awareness of environments and environmental issues, and they will develop the problem- solving skills to address those issues. Program requirements include interdisciplinary courses in environmental studies and a broad array of courses in biology, geology, chemistry, geography, economics, political science, English, history, and philosophy. By selecting appropriate electives to supplement the "additional courses" requirement of the major, students may develop an emphasis in either a specific field (i.e., biology, English) or in a general area of study (natural science, social science, and humanities). Graduates are equipped for employment as environmental consultants in business or with governmental agencies and public interest groups. Many may go on to postgraduate study in environmental science, public policy, or the humanities, or to law school.

A student wishing to transfer into the Environmental Studies program must have completed the following courses BIOL 110 GN(4), ENGL 180 GH(3), ENVST 100(3), and ECON 002 GS(3) or ECON 004 GS(3) and have received a grade of C or better in these courses.

For the B.A. degree in Environmental Studies, a minimum of 125 credits is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES MINOR: Students may select 18 credits of required course work in the major, including ENVST 100(3) and ENVST 200(3) or 400W(3). At least 6 credits at the 400-level and 3 credits from each area of the major (humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences) are required. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor. Students must take ENVST 100(3) and ENVST 200(3) or 400W(3). The remaining 12 credits are to be selected from the lists of prescribed and additional courses with at least three credits in each of the following areas: natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. A grade of C or better is required in all courses for the minor, and at least 6 credits must be at the 400 level.

Accounting and International Business (ACCIB)

PROFESSOR CHARLES H. SMITH, in charge

This major is designed to provide a global perspective for careers in public, industrial, or governmental accounting and an appropriate background for students planning to enter law school or graduate school. Because of the increased importance of international trade and the abundance of multinational companies, international accounting topics (such as transfer pricing and foreign currency translation) are integrated into most of the courses. All three accounting areas offer opportunities for foreign service.

Certified public accountants (CPAs) conduct independent audits and render accounting, tax, and management advisory services to their clients. The credit requirements to take the CPA examination in Pennsylvania and many other states are automatically met by completing the prescribed curriculum (exceptions include New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Texas). For more detailed information, see brochures in the department office.

Industrial accountants are in charge of designing and supervising the financial and managerial accounting system for firms, including preparing and analyzing reports. Many are now taking the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam. It is a two-day exam covering economics, finance, management, decision analysis, information systems and accounting. Governmental accountants occupy positions in federal, state, and local government and perform services similar to those of public or industrial accountants.

For the B.S. degree in Accounting and International Business, a minimum of 145 credits is required.

Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (CAMS)

PROFESSOR GERALD N. KNOPPERS, Head, Department of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies

Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies is concerned with the civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean world, including the ancient Greeks, Romans, and the peoples of Egypt and the Near East. The study of these civilizations includes their languages and literatures, history and politics, religion and mythologies, philosophies, and material culture. Students electing the CAMS major follow one of two options. The Classical Language Option requires study of Greek or Latin, or a combination of both languages, and is recommended especially for students planning to pursue any classical subject in graduate school or to teach Latin at the secondary level. Students in the Classical Language Option are urged to schedule one course in historical linguistics or comparative grammar. The Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (CAMS) Option is suitable for students interested in a broadly interdisciplinary study of the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and does not require study of language, although students are encouraged to study the appropriate ancient languages. All students in the major are particularly encouraged to participate in one of the Penn State Education Abroad Programs and/or archaeological field schools in the Mediterranean area. Up to 15 credits of appropriate education abroad courses may be applied to requirements for the major.

For the B.A. degree in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, a minimum of 124 credits is required.

CLASSICS AND ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN STUDIES MINOR: Students must select 18 credits from courses in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (CAMS), at least 6 at the 400 level.

Spanish (SPNBA)

PROFESSOR TERRY PEAVLER, Interim Head

SPANISH MINOR: Students must take a minimum of 18 credits beyond SPAN 003, including SPAN 200, either SPAN 210 or SPAN 220, SPAN 400, and at least three more credits of Spanish at the 400 level. Courses taught in English may not be counted toward the minor. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

This major is designed to develop basic skills in speaking, understanding, reading, and writing Spanish. In addition, the program aims to acquaint students with the literature and civilization of the Hispanic world. Enough flexibility is provided to permit a degree of concentration in either Hispanic literature or linguistics. Specialized courses are offered in translation techniques and in the use of Spanish for social services. Courses taken in the University's Education Abroad Program in Spain may be applied to the major. In conjunction with the College of Education, students may take work leading to certification as Spanish teachers in the secondary or elementary schools.

An integral part of the major is the inclusion of two courses (8 credits) in another Romance language (Italian, Portuguese, or French) or Latin. Students are encouraged to use these courses as a basis for acquiring greater proficiency in a second language.

Combined with course work in business, social welfare, or bilingual education, the B.A. in Spanish can facilitate entry into a number of professional areas. In addition, it provides the traditional foundation for advanced degree work required for such careers as college teaching and government service.

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

Mathematics (MTHBA)

PROFESSOR GEORGE ANDREWS, Chair, Department of Mathematics

Two degrees are offered in mathematics: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. Both programs have a common core of mathematics courses; both programs prepare students for graduate work in mathematics. In addition, the Bachelor of Arts degree is oriented toward applications of mathematics in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The Bachelor of Science degree has a number of options. These options are oriented toward actuarial science, applied analysis, computational mathematics, graduate study, mathematical statistics, systems analysis, and teaching.

Many of the options are designed for students who want to use mathematics in industry, commerce, or government. In short, the degree requirements have the flexibility to fit many individual interests. The student, with the assistance of a faculty adviser, should select an option by the end of the sophomore year.

To begin the fifth semester, a student is required to have a 2.50 grade-point average. A student who wants to transfer into the program must satisfy this requirement at the time of transfer.

For the B.A. degree in Mathematics, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

MATHEMATICS MINOR: Students must take MATH 140 GQ(4), 141 GQ(4); select 6-8 credits from MATH 220 GQ(2), 230(4), 231(2), 232(2), 250(3), 251(4), 310(3), 311W(3), or 312(3); and select 12 credits from 400-level MATH courses. A total of 26-28 credits is required for the minor. For successful completion of the minor a candidate must receive a grade of C or better in each of the four 400-level courses.

Microbiology (MICRB)

PROFESSOR PHILIP W. MOHR, in charge

Microbiology is the science of the "simple" forms of life and of the response of more complex life forms to their presence and activities. Students in the Microbiology major will (1) complete a comprehensive study of life processes at the molecular and cellular level, with particular emphasis on procaryotes, and (2) perform basic and advanced techniques in laboratory methodology. Through advanced course study, the many subdisciplines of microbiology such as molecular genetices, immunology, and virology may be explored more fully. Ample opportunities exist for participation in faculty-initiated research projects. Extensive laboratory experience is a particular strength of the major. Courses in applied areas of microbiology, such as industrial, medical, and food, help prepare students for careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnical, and agricultural industries.

For the B.S. degree in Microbiology, a minimum of 125 credits is required.

MICROBIOLOGY MINOR: Students must take MICRB 201(3), 202(2); MICRB 251(3); MICRB 410(3); MICRB 421W(3) or 422(2); select 4-5 credits from 400-level MICRB courses (MICRB 400(2), 408(1-2), 496(1-18), and 497(1-9) may not be used to fulfill this requirement), for a total of 18 credits.

Degree Conferred: Master of Arts in Community Psychology and Social Change

Nature of Program
The graduate program in Community Psychology leads to a Master of Arts degree in Community Psychology and Social Change with concentrations in Children, Youth and Family; Environmental Issues; and in Individual Studies. The nontraditional program emphasizes planned social change, and is based on both sociology and psychology. The program equips students with skills useful in coping with the multifaceted problems facing communities. Students learn (a) to assess problems at the level of communities or organizations, (b) to plan and implement possible solutions to these problems, and (c) to evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions. Learning takes place both in courses and in a Master's Project that entails fieldwork and the writing of a Master's paper.

To act as a change agent, the student must be aware of contemporary community needs, along with the impact of the community structure upon its individual members and the techniques best suited to initiate productive changes. After completing this interdisciplinary program, the graduate should be able to approach problems with a more integrated point of view and work cooperatively with community individuals and agencies toward practical solutions. Problems related to crime, education, child and family development, employment, the lack of effective social power, and other factors affecting psychological well being are approached from bases in community service agencies or informal community groups. The majority of students work full-time in agencies or governmental units. To accommodate these working students, 500 level graduate courses are scheduled in the evening.

Admissions Requirements
Requirements listed below are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

For admission to the program, a student must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited academic institution, earned under residence and credit conditions equivalent to those required by Penn State. The minimum grade-point average (GPA) in the junior and senior years must be 3.00 or higher (on a 4.00 scale). Students with experience in carrying out planned social change are particularly encouraged to apply. Most applicants hold degrees in psychology, sociology, or related disciplines. Ideally, applicants will have taken courses in developmental, personality, and social psychology, along with work in social change, social problems, and social conflict. Students from diverse other backgrounds are welcome to apply, particularly if they have had work or other experience effecting change in community settings. Applicants will be asked to take additional coursework without graduate credit, chosen after consultation with an adviser, if they have had no psychology or sociology courses beyond the introductory level. Applicants must have received a C or better in an introductory statistics course covering parametric and non-parametric inferential statistics; they will be requested to make up any deficiency without graduate credit.

Off-campus and transfer credits from accredited institutions will be evaluated by the Program Coordinator for recency and appropriateness to the student's course of study. Approval for up to 10 transfer credits may be given. Documented applications for credit for work experience will be evaluated by students' Masters Committees made up of members of the graduate faculty. Approval for up to 6 credits may be given. If granted, approval for this credit can take the place of the fieldwork usually undertaken in CMPSY 522, Practicum. The student must register for the number of credits approved, either in CMPSY 522, or, if the student prefers, after having asked for a waiver of the CMPSY 522 requirement, in additional elective coursework, chosen with help from an advisor.

Courses in the program are sequenced on the assumption that students will be entering in the Fall semester. Students may apply for admission for the Spring (but not the Summer) semester, but they may not start taking 500-level required courses until the following Fall.

Admission to the Community Psychology Program is based on clear suitability for the program as evidenced by the application as a whole; it is limited to the number of spaces available for Masters Project supervision.

Applicants must submit the following:

1. A completed application form.
   
2. Two copies of official transcripts from colleges or universities previously attended(including Penn State.)
   
3. A letter of about 500 words outlining significant community or work experience, along with career and academic objectives.
   
4. Three letters of recommendation, special forms provided.
   
5. The application fee.

The application, the fee, and associated materials should be sent to Penn State Harrisburg, Graduate Admissions, 777 W. Harrisburg Pike, Middletown, PA 17057-4898. In addition, applicants with strong records but whose suitability for the program is unclear may be asked to visit the campus for an interview.

Program Requirements
An important part of this degree is a Master's Project, made up a total of nine (9) credits, comprising from three to six credits of Practicum (CMPSY 522), and from three to six credits of Research (CMPSY 594). The Project is planned in the context of the course Roles and Methods in Community Psychology (CMPSY 521); it is supervised by a Master's Committee of graduate faculty. The particular mix of Practicum and Research is worked out by the student in consultation with the faculty. The variable mix of Practicum and of Research credits results in the student's being able to choose coursework that emphasizes study in the area in which she or he needs most skill-development. In the usual case, a student with a strong background in fieldwork would be asked to emphasize Research in her or his Master's Project, and a student with a strong research background, but with limited fieldwork, would be asked to emphasize the Practicum. The output of CMPSY 522 is a Practicum; the output of the Research course CMPSY 594 is a required Master's Paper of at least three credits. The Master's Paper may be based on the field experience. Students often choose to structure their Master's Paper around a specific community research problem. Again, students can apply for Practicum (522) credit, or, at their choice, ask for a waiver of the requirement, on the basis of documented prior experience. Decisions about such applications are made by the student's Master's Committee.

Part-time students who are able to take two courses at a time can complete the degree in seven to eight semesters. Since the processes of designing a Master's Project and of writing a Master's Paper are labor-intensive and frequently take more time than the student expects, even full-time students will often take six or more semesters to complete the degree.

The program offers three concentrations, each including all the required Community Psychology courses. The Children, Youth, and Families Concentration uses as its electives nine approved credits from courses in psychology, education, and sociology. The Environmental Issues Concentration uses electives approved by an advisor and drawn from special courses in environmental issues and from various other programs. The Individualized Concentration uses as its elective courses chosen to meet individual needs, with the approval of an adviser.

Graduation Requirements
To qualify for the degree, 36 credits are needed, 24 of which must be at the 500 level. There is a sequence of substantive courses, starting with Theories and Issues in Community Psychology (CMPSY 500).

Required Courses: (27 credits)
CMPSY 500(3) Theories and Issues in Community Psychology
CMPSY 510(3) Change Processes
