Agroecology

University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences (AGECO)

PROFESSOR PAUL A. BACKMAN, Program Coordinator

The coordinator position will rotate between faculty members in the Departments of Crop and Soil Sciences, Entomology, Horticulture, and Plant Pathology.

Agroecology is concerned with the principles and practices applicable to the management of plant agroecosystems. There are two options: Integrated Crop Management (ICM) or Plant Science. Education in the Integrated Crop Management option emphasizes the principles of plant and soil management and the basic sciences upon which these principles are based. The Plant Science option requires additional emphasis in the basic sciences (mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biotechnology). The opportunity is available in either option to specialize in agronomy with emphasis on agronomic crops and conservation of soils; or horticulture with emphasis on horticultural crops; or entomology with emphasis on insects and their impact on the ecosystem; or plant pathology with emphasis on plant diseases. Students must develop, communicate, and apply technical information about plants, soils, environment, and production practices for food, feed, fiber, or ornamental crops. Business management skills can be developed by appropriate course selection in the ICM option.

Graduates in Agroecology have a wide choice of careers. Over 90% get jobs in service to the agricultural industry as farm managers, farm chemical and fertilizer store managers, sales representatives, field and laboratory technicians, crop management consultants, extension agents, soil and water conservationists and inspectors for various state and federal regulatory agencies. Some may return to the farm and become producers of farm products.

Those students who anticipate enrollment in graduate school should elect the Plant Science option while those preparing to enter the profession with a B.S. degree should select the Integrated Crop Management option.

For the B.S. degree in Agroecology, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

Poultry and Avian Science Minor

University Park: College of Agricultural Sciences (P A S)

PROFESSOR ROBERT G. ELKIN, Program Coordinator

The Poultry and Avian Science Minor is designed for students who wish to supplement their academic major with studies focused on the biology, and management, of avian species, with an emphasis on domestic fowl. In recognition of the diverse career opportunities in the modern poultry and game bird industries, the minor is designed to also accommodate students with primary interests in agribusiness management, food science, and wildlife science. Students are required to complete a minimum of 19 credits (9 credits at the 400 level). The three prescribed courses provide a foundation of knowledge pertaining to both avian sciences and the commercial poultry industry, while additional courses selected by the student will allow for further specialization in the foundation animal science disciplines, agribusiness management, food science, and wildlife and fisheries science. In addition, credits from poultry or avian internship experiences and/or independent study projects may also be applied towards meeting the requirements of the minor.

The University's Poultry Education and Research Center is used extensively for supplementing classroom work with hands-on laboratories. The flexibility of the minor permits program planning commensurate with an individual's interests and professional goals, and should enhance the student's ability to compete for related positions in industry, government, or academia (graduate or professional school).

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

Accounting

University Park, Smeal College of Business (ACCTG)

PROFESSOR PAUL FISCHER, Chair of the Department of Accounting

This major helps prepare students for careers in public, industrial, or governmental accounting and also provides an appropriate background for those planning to enter law school or graduate school. Public accounting is carried on by independent practitioners, most of whom are certified public accountants. In addition to independent audits, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) render accounting, tax, and management advisory services.

There is a 150-credit requirement to sit for the CPA examination in Pennsylvania and many other states. The 120-credit Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting provides a solid foundation for students preparing for the exam.

The industrial accountant, as an executive in a business firm, is in charge of designing and supervising the financial and managerial accounting system, including the preparation and analysis of 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.

Entrance Requirement: To be eligible for entrance into the Accounting (ACCTG) major, a degree candidate must be enrolled in the Smeal College of Business or the Division of Undergraduate Studies and satisfy requirements for entrance to the major.

Specific entrance requirements include:

For the B.S. degree in Accounting, a minimum of 120 credits is required with at least 15 credits at the 400 level.

Actuarial Science

University Park, Smeal College of Business (ACTSC)

PROFESSOR AUSTIN JAFFE, Chair of the Department of Insurance and Real Estate

An actuary is a business professional who uses mathematical skills to define, analyze, and solve business and social problems. Actuaries generally are employed in life, health, and casualty insurance companies, consulting firms, and government.

The courses in the Actuarial Science major stress the application of mathematical and statistical concepts to the measurement of life and other contingencies, while at the same time giving the student a broad understanding of the business environment.

Actuarial Science majors are encouraged to begin the series of professional examinations leading to Associateship and Fellowship in either the Society of Actuaries (A.S.A./F.S.A.) or the Casualty Actuarial Society (A.C.A.S./F.C.A.S.). Graduating students will have studied four of the six subjects that must be passed to qualify as an A.S.A. and four of the seven subjects needed to qualify as an A.C.A.S. They commonly have passed at least the first two parts of these professional examinations by the time they graduate.

Entrance Requirement: To be eligible for entrance into the Actuarial Science (ACTSC) major, a degree candidate must be enrolled in the Smeal College of Business or the Division of Undergraduate Studies and satisfy requirements for entrance to the major.

Specific entrance requirements include:

1. The degree candidate must be taking, or have taken, a program appropriate for entry to the major as shown in the bulletin, including approximately 60 credits of course work.
2. Complete the following entrance to major requirements: ACCTG 211(4)[1]; ECON 002 GS(3); SCM 200 GQ(4)[1] or STAT 200 GQ(4)[1]; ENGL 015 GWS(3) or ENGL 030 GWS(3); MATH 140 GQ(4)[1]; and MATH 141(4)[1], FIN 301(3)[1]; MGMT 301(3)[1]; and MKTG 301(3)[1]. These courses must be completed by the end of the semester during which the entrance to major process is carried out.
3. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 prior to and through to the end of the semester during which the entrance to major process is carried out.

Accounting

Capital College (ACCT)

JANE KOCHANOV, Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Business

This major helps students prepare for careers in auditing and public accounting, industrial and managerial accounting, and in governmental and not-for-profit accounting. It also provides a sound background for students who plan to pursue graduate studies in accounting or related fields. Students who complete the prescribed courses and earn a Bachelor of Science degree will satisfy the academic requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination. Graduates may also elect to pursue other professional certifications, including Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM). Because the Harrisburg area is the center of industry and economic development for south-central Pennsylvania, students are provided with many opportunities to experience the world of business.

For a B.S. in Accounting a minimum of 120 credits is required. At least 50 percent of the business credit hours required for the degree must be taken at the Capital College. No more than 60 credits should be from business and business-related courses. Students wishing to fulfill the 150 credit-hour education option to become a CPA in Pennsylvania (which reduces the experience requirement for certification) are encouraged to enter Capital College's Master of Business Administration program or the Master of Science in Information Systems program subsequent to receiving their undergraduate accounting degree.

Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Accounting major requires the completion of 8 entry-to-major courses: ACCTG 211(4)[1]; 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)[1] or ENGL 030 GWS(3)[1]; MATH 110 GQ(4)[1] or MATH 140 GQ(4)[1]; MIS 204(3); SCM 200 GQ(4)[1] or STAT 200 GQ(4)[1]; and a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average.

Materials Science and Engineering

University Park, College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (MATSE)

PROFESSOR GARY L. MESSING, Head, Department of Materials Science and Engineering
PROFESSOR R. ALLEN KIMEL, Associate Head of Undergraduate Studies, Materials Science and Engineering

The future can be appropriately termed the age of materials. In addition to the traditional engineering applications of metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers, new materials and composites must be developed by materials scientists to aid progress in communications, computing, electronics, biomedicine, transportation, aerospace, defense, and the production and efficient use of energy.

Our curriculum is structured to support our Department mission of providing students with a well-rounded engineering education, with specific emphasis on materials science and engineering in order to meet the needs of industry, academia, and government; to conduct research at the frontiers of the field; and to provide an integrating and leadership role to the broad multi-disciplinary materials community.

The general objective of the undergraduate program is embedded in our mission statement. The Department expects its graduates will apply their knowledge of materials science to the synthesis, design, characterization, and engineering of new materials, and devices comprised of them, in industrial and laboratory settings. Our graduates will have the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in careers related to the entire life-cycle of materials, from raw materials production, to materials synthesis and processing, component design and development, manufacturing, use, reclamation, and recycling.

We expect that our graduates will practice in a wide range of materials-related positions, such as process and manufacturing engineers, technical sales representatives, quality control engineers, research engineers, metallurgists, ceramists, production and plant managers, consultants, etc. In addition, we expect that a substantial portion of our graduates will pursue graduate studies in technical and business-related disciplines, as well as participate in continuing education activities such as technical symposia, workshops, and short courses.

The educational objectives of the undergraduate program are embedded into our mission statement. We will provide and maintain a curriculum that will prepare our recent graduates to accomplish the following Program Educational Objectives:

1. Our graduates provide science and engineering leadership in international industrial, governmental, and academic settings, while serving both their profession and the public.
2. Our graduates are innovators in a wide variety of technical fields including, but not limited to, materials, energy, electronics, medicine, communications, transportation, and recreation.
3. Our graduates excel in careers related to the entire life cycle of materials, from synthesis and processing, through design and development, to manufacturing, performance, reclamation, and recycling.
4. Our graduates engage in lifelong learning activities which enhance their careers and provide flexibility to respond to changing professional and societal needs.

To achieve these objectives, students in Materials Sciences and Engineering begin with a background in basic chemistry, mathematics, and physics, which are the foundation for broad-based materials properties, processing, and applications courses. Commencing with their junior year, students take courses in Materials Science and Engineering and specialized courses in one of four options: Ceramic Science and Engineering, Electronic and Photonic Materials, Metals Science and Engineering, or Polymer Science and Engineering. The curricula integrate classroom instruction and laboratory experience, and culminate in a capstone research and design experience which is documented in the form of a thesis in the senior year.

The curricula for each of the options in Materials Science and Engineering are described in the following sections.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to pursue employment opportunities in both the private and public sectors as mining engineers, or will be able to pursue advanced education.

The courses are sequenced so that an appropriate blend of theory, applications, and project design is achieved. This enables the mining engineering student to appreciate and comprehend that a successful engineering design project requires a sound theoretical foundation, supported by experimentation and good engineering judgment. The program is designed such that the fundamentals of mathematics, earth, and engineering sciences are integrated into traditional mining engineering topics. Design projects, culminating in the capstone design project, are required throughout the curriculum. The proper execution of these projects requires an awareness of acceptable problem-formulation strategies, the testing of alternative design methodologies, feasibility studies, environmental impacts, and overall economic considerations.

Graduates of the program will be prepared to perform in the various steps of mineral extraction, including exploration, evaluation, development, recovery, and processing. The mining engineering faculty is committed to an interactive teaching and learning environment to ensure that the student plays an active role in the learning process. The general education opportunities are sufficiently broad and diverse in nature and scope to enable the student to tailor the educational experience to particular interests, backgrounds, and expected roles in society.

Mining Engineering graduates will be:

1. Employed in mining or related industries or agencies in technical, research, safety, or managerial roles;
2. Qualified and competent to sit for the professional engineer exam;
3. Solving design and project-related problems based on sound, state-of-the-art mining engineering principles and practices;
4. Engaged in solitary assignments and multi-disciplinary teams addressing economic, budgeting, planning, regulatory, labor, safety and health, environmental, legal and ethical issues in mining-related fields;
5. Effective written and oral communicators; and
6. Pursuing continued learning through education, professional training, and participation in professional activities.

STUDENT-TRAINEE PROGRAM: A five-year work-study plan is available to incoming students in Mining Engineering. Alternating periods of employment in industry and schooling at Penn State, the student-trainee obtains the BS degree in five years instead of four, following a rearranged major. Numerous mining and manufacturing companies as well as governmental agencies are cooperating with the University in providing employment during work periods. In addition to earning sufficient funds to finance their education, student-trainees acquire two years of valuable, practical, and professional experience. Additional information can be obtained from the department.

For the B.S. degree in Mining Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required.

PROFESSOR TURGAY ERTEKIN, Undergraduate Program Officer

The B.S. program in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone: 410-347-7700.

The undergraduate curriculum in petroleum and natural gas engineering has been designed to equip the student with the fundamentals necessary to achieve lifelong professional growth. Graduates are prepared to enter both the private and public sectors as petroleum and natural gas engineers or to pursue further education at the graduate level.

The courses are structured to serve as a melting pot for theory, application to case studies and engineering project design. This enables the student to appreciate and understand that a successful engineering design project requires a sound theoretical foundation, experimentation and engineering judgment. The thrust of the program structure emphasizes the fundamentals of mathematics and earth and engineering sciences and integrates them in application to traditional petroleum and natural gas engineering topics. Design projects are required throughout the curriculum. Execution of these projects requires an amalgamation of problem formulation strategies, testing of alternative design methodologies, feasibility studies, and economic and environmental considerations. Graduates of the program are expected to perform in various facets of the petroleum industry including drilling, production, evaluation, transportation and storage. The petroleum and natural gas engineering faculty and staff are committed to an interactive teaching and learning environment to ensure that the student is an active participant in the learning process. General education opportunities are sufficiently broad and diverse in scope to enable the student to tailor the educational experience to particular interests, background and expected role in society.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Program Educational Objectives:

1. Our graduates will integrate key science and engineering principles to address the technological challenges of the petroleum and natural gas industry.
2. Our graduates will practice in a broad range of petroleum engineering fields working on teams that create innovative solutions to the most pressing problems of the petroleum and natural gas industry by implementing the ideals of ethical behavior, professionalism, and environmental sensitivity and social awareness.
3. Our graduates will be recognized as critical and independent thinkers and will assume positions of leadership in defining the social, intellectual, business and technical dimensions of the professional organizations they belong to.
4. Our graduates will continue their life-long learning process and participate in graduate education to remain as effective professionals in the workplace of the future.

For the B.S. degree in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, a minimum of 129 credits is required.

The program, offered at Penn State Harrisburg, helps master's level graduates prepare to function in community settings as applied behavior analysts, and to provide the academic training necessary for graduates to apply for national board certification in behavior analysis. The overall model emphasizes the core areas of the discipline including the scientific basis of behavior analysis, as well as how biological, social, and individual differences affect human behavior. Training will emphasize the development of both assessment and intervention skills.

The program helps prepare graduates to work in hospitals, medical schools, mental health centers, health maintenance organizations, a wide variety of educational settings, forensic settings, research facilities, and in center- and home-based programs for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.

The program is intended for both part- and full-time students. Courses will be scheduled for fall and spring semesters. Admission is in the fall and spring semesters only.

Admission Requirements

Students will be admitted on a competitive basis and must submit the following:

• a completed application form
• two official transcripts of all colleges and universities attended
• three letters of recommendation
• a brief (two-page) interest statement

The applicant must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited academic institution, with at least 18 credits in education, psychology, or related disciplines with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or above in the last 60 credits. Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations are required in the verbal, quantitative, and analytic portions.

The language of instruction at Penn State is English. All international applicants who have not received a baccalaureate or masters degree from a college/university/institution in a country where English is both the language of instruction and the only official or native language must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) 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 speaking portion is required for admission; or a minimum composite score of 6.5 on the IELTS test is required for admission.

A personal interview may be required.
