Agricultural Systems Management

University Park, College of Agricultural Sciences (A S M)

PROFESSOR JUDE LIU, Program Coordinator

Agricultural Systems Management graduates are employed 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 are found 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.

Art History Minor

University Park, College of Arts and Architecture (ART H)

PROFESSOR CRAIG ZABEL, Head, Department of Art History

The minor in Art History provides students with a broad introduction to the history of art, as well as the opportunity for more specialized study in one or two fields. Specialized study may concentrate upon one region of the world (e.g. India) or one period (e.g. Renaissance). A student should seek the advice of her/his minor adviser on course selections. The study of art history develops a student's visual acuity by providing a critical understanding of visual culture in a diversity of societies around the world. Students learn to understand art within the contexts of religion, politics, philosophy, culture, technology, society, and gender. A minor in Art History can be of particular interest for students pursuing careers in art, art education, history, anthropology, archaeology, classics, English, foreign language/literature, cultural studies, international business, and arts administration. Students majoring in Art History cannot take this minor.

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

Integrated B.A. in Music - M.A. in Music Theory

The School of Music offers a limited number of academically superior students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Music the opportunity to enroll in an integrated program leading to both the B.A. in Music and the Master of Arts in Music Theory in a continuous program of study culminating in both degrees. The ability to coordinate as well as concurrently pursue the two degree programs enables the student to achieve greater depth and comprehensiveness than if the degrees are pursued sequentially and to earn the two degrees in five years. In particular, the program encourages the student to integrate the undergraduate thesis with the master's thesis thereby achieving a greater depth of inquiry.

Application Process

To initiate the application process, students must submit a transcript, faculty recommendation, writing sample, and statement of goals. A faculty adviser will help undergraduate candidates determine a sequence of courses that will prepare them for acceptance into the IUG program. Normally a student would apply after the fourth semester and before the end of the sixth semester. For acceptance into the program students must successfully complete the following courses or their equivalent with a minimum average of 3.5 in their music courses, and a minimum GPA of 3.0.

4 semesters of music theory (MUSIC 131, MUSIC 132, MUSIC 231, MUSIC 331)
4 semesters of musicianship (MUSIC 121, MUSIC 122, MUSIC 221, MUSIC 222)
3 semesters of music history (MUSIC 162, MUSIC 261, MUSIC 262)

Reduced Course Load
As many as twelve of the credits required for the master's degree may be applied to both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. A minimum of 50% of the courses proposed to count for both degrees must be at the 500 level. Thesis credits may not be double counted.

B.A. Senior Project (Music 476W) / M.A. Thesis (Music 600)
Students will be encouraged to select a B.A. Senior Project topic (Music 476W) that will later develop into the M.A. Thesis. It is expected that the Master's Thesis consist of greater depth and specialization than the Senior Project.

Eligibility for a Graduate Assistantship
Students in the IUG program will be eligible for a graduate assistantship starting in the beginning of the fifth year.

Tuition Charges
Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is an undergraduate, unless the student received financial support, for example, an assistantship requiring the payment of graduate tuition (from "Information and Guidelines for Establishing Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate Degree Programs" - approved by the Graduate Council, May 8, 1996).

Mechanical Engineering

University Park, College of Engineering (M E)

PROFESSOR KAREN A. THOLE, Head, Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is the science of understanding, and art of design of mechanisms and engines. Mechanisms are devices composed of solid, fluid, electrical, and optical components that perform specified tasks. Examples include: robots, tape drives, earth movers, clocks, sports equipment, energy-absorbing bumpers, acoustic sensors, low-friction bearings, high-friction brakes, automated inspection equipment, satellite positioners, and artificial hips. Engines are devices that convert (or conserve) thermal and mechanical energy to perform specified tasks. Examples include: internal combustion engines, jet engines, missile launchers, heat exchangers, refrigerators, ovens, ventilators, pumps, turbines, solar heaters, compressors, hydraulic actuators, and explosively deployed air bags.

The Mechanical Engineering program prepares students for a rewarding career in one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Since the industrial revolution, mechanical engineers have found themselves at the forefront of technology development and applications.

The objective of the Mechanical Engineering program is to prepare students for a wide range of career paths that use mechanical engineering principles and methodology. We will maintain and provide a curriculum that prepares our recent graduates for:

working in industry and government including computer-aided design, simulation and analysis of products or systems, experimentation and testing, manufacturing, and technical sales.
assuming increasing levels of responsibility in project, personnel, and budget management.
working and leading effectively in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams.
communicating effectively and recognizing the global, social and ethical contexts of their work.
entering into graduate and professional studies.

The program offers a balance of engineering applications and theory with an emphasis on design from the first year through the industry-based capstone design experience in the senior year.

PROFESSOR KARL M. NEWELL, Head, Department of Kinesiology

Kinesiology offers a comprehensive program of study in the science of human movement and is designed for students who want to prepare for professions involving physical activity and for graduate study in related areas. Five options are offered: (1) Athletic Training; (2) Fitness Studies; (3) Movement Science; (4) Physical & Health Education Teacher Education; and (5) Exercise Science. All options require a minimum of 120 credits for graduation, with the exception of Physical and Health Education Teacher Education, which requires 131 credits. Information about the major and its options can be found at http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/kines/index.html.

All options require a culminating practicum or research experience. First Aid, CPR, and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certification are highly recommended for the Physical & Health Education Teacher Education Option. (See additional requirements for student teaching under General Information, Special Academic Programs.) Relocation away from the University Park campus is generally necessary for student teaching and may be necessary for practicums in other options. First Aid and CPR are also recommended for the Fitness Studies Option.

Students who have completed a minimum of 28 credits and have a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average are eligible for entrance into the major after completing an Entrance to Major form. Students who are interested in Athletic Training or Physical & Health Education Teacher Education must meet additional criteria in order to enter these options (see information on Athletic Training and Physical & Health Education Teacher Education Options).

ATHLETIC TRAINING OPTION: This option provides a concentrated program of courses designed to prepare students for a career in the profession of athletic training. The option has been designed to meet the standards for certification by the National Athletic Trainers Association - Board of Certification and legal certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Students are admitted into the program on a competitive basis following completion of prerequisite courses (see requirements for admission). Students must also meet the "Technical Standards for the Undergraduate Athletic Training Program at Penn State University" related to the physical and psycho-emotional demands placed upon students in the option. Upon admission, students complete a 5-semester sequence of coursework and supervised clinical rotations. Students typically commit 200 to 300 hours to clinical practical experiences in each of the last 4 semesters of the program. The Technical Standards course sequencing and prerequisite courses can be found at http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/kines/undergrad/athletic_training.html or obtained through the Department of Kinesiology. Full course descriptions are found in the University Bulletin.

Students seeking to transfer from other colleges or universities will have their transcripts evaluated after acceptance to Penn State to identify those courses and credits that will be applied to completion of degree requirements. Coursework specific to athletic training will not be considered for transfer unless completed in a Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs accredited athletic training education program.

Minimum Requirements for Admission to the Athletic Training Option (admission is competitive--meeting minimum requirements does not assure admission into the option):

Submission of written application (http://www.hhdev.psu.edu/kines/undergrad/athletic_training.html) or the Department of Kinesiology Advising Office, 276 Recreation Building, University Park, PA 16802).

Comparative Literature

University Park, College of the Liberal Arts (CMLIT)

PROFESSOR CAROLINE D. ECKHARDT, Head

Approaching literature with an interdisciplinary and global perspective, the major in Comparative Literature crosses the boundaries of geography, time, nationalities, languages, and cultures. The world of literature taught draws upon readings from the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and from a wide range of historical periods. The range includes recognized great books along with less-known works, including women's literature, colonial and postcolonial literatures, indigenous literatures, testimonies, legends, myths, and folktales, banned books, literatures of the occult, science and detective fictions, virtual worlds, and cultural theory. Students learn to appreciate different languages and cultures, develop the critical skills for literary and cultural analysis, and relate literature to other media, including film and digital media. The major also encourages students to explore the relationship between literature and ethics through course offerings focused on transnational identities, human rights, cultures of globalization, and the problem of violence. A senior seminar clarifies the mysteries of literary theory and provides opportunities for individual projects.

Students majoring in Comparative Literature take courses in the Department of Comparative Literature and in other literature departments. They also develop competence in a foreign language. Study abroad is encouraged: Students may count up to 18 Education Abroad credits toward the major.

Graduates of the Department of Comparative Literature have undertaken careers in teaching, completed advanced degrees in literature, librarianship, law, and similar fields, entered the Peace Corps or other types of government service, and pursued careers in writing and communications.

The department offers a minor in World Literature as well as the major in Comparative Literature.

For the B.A. degree in Comparative Literature, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

Integrated B.A./M.A. Program in Comparative Literature (CMLIT)

The Department of Comparative Literature offers an integrated B.A./M.A. program that is designed to allow academically superior baccalaureate students to obtain both the B.A. and the M.A. degrees in Comparative Literature within five years of study. The first two years of undergraduate coursework include the University General Education and Liberal Arts requirements in addition to language and literature study in the major. In the third year, students are expected to define areas of interest in two primary literatures in different languages. In addition, students in the B.A./M.A. program should begin to undertake work in a second foreign language. The fourth year includes graduate-level work in methodology and the student's selection of primary literatures which replaces comparable 400-level senior year courses. The fifth and final year of the program typically consists of graduate work in Comparative Literature courses as well as the chosen literatures. The program culminates with an M.A. paper.

By encouraging greater depth and focus in the course of study beginning in the third undergraduate year, this program will help the student more clearly define his/her area of interest and expertise in the otherwise vast field of international literatures. As a result, long-range academic planning for exceptional students pursuing doctoral degrees after leaving Penn State, or other professional goals, will be greatly enhanced. The student may also be more competitive in applying for admission to Ph.D. programs as well as for institutional and national grant monies and scholarships.

Admission Requirements

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

Must be enrolled in the Comparative Literature B.A. program[1].
Must have completed 60 credits of the undergraduate degree program (it is strongly suggested that students apply to the program prior to completing 100 credits).
Must be accepted without reservation into the M.A. program in Comparative Literature.
Should have a recommended overall GPA of 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale) in undergraduate coursework and a minimum GPA of 3.5 in all coursework completed for the major.
Must present a departmentally approved plan of study in the application process.
Must be recommended by the chairs of the Department's undergraduate and graduate committees.

A typical sequence of coursework for the integrated program would appear as follows:

*Year One:*	6 credits:	CMLIT 010 CMLIT 100

*Year Two:*	6 credits:	Foreign Language (beyond the 12-credit level)
	6 credits:	Courses in Literature

*Year Three:*	9 credits:	400-level courses in Literature, including CMLIT 400Y
	(variable credits)	Work in foreign language (credits do not count towards the major, but reading proficiency is required for the M.A. degree)

*Year Four:*	3 credits:	CMLIT 501 (if offered)
	6 credits:	Comparative Literature courses
	6-9 credits:	500-level courses in two Literatures

Year Five:

3 credits:

CMLIT 501 (if offered)

	9-12 credits:	500-level courses in two Literatures
	6 credits:	500-level Comparative Literature Courses M.A. paper

Global and International Studies

University Park, College of the Liberal Arts ()

PROFESSOR CAROLINE ECKHARDT, in charge

The interdisciplinary major in Global and International Studies is intended to prepare students for lives and careers in a world that is increasingly interdependent. It reflects a "One World" concept that emphasizes the importance of global perspectives, foreign language study, and education or working experience abroad. The structure of the major also recognizes the fact that the majority of the world's people live in regions other than the European and North American sphere, and that a knowledge of non-Anglophone cultures is an important form of preparation for global citizenship. Because students need specific fields of knowledge as well as a global framework, this major is available only as a concurrent or sequential major, and students must first have a primary major. Some components of the Global and International Studies requirements may overlap with those of the primary major; for details, consult the adviser for the Global and International Studies major.

The degree (e.g., B.A., B.S., B.F.A., etc.) will normally match that of the student's first major.

Students in baccalaureate degree programs other than those leading to the B.A. who desire a B.A. degree in International Studies will receive concurrent degrees and have to fulfill all requirements for concurrent degrees and for the B.A. degree as indicated under "Concurrent Majors and Sequential Majors" in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of this bulletin and under "Baccalaureate Degree Requirements" at the beginning of this college section.

Scheduling Recommendation by Semester Standing given like (Sem: 1-2)

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR: 30 credits
This major also requires significant experience abroad, of at least 8 weeks in length. The requirement for experience abroad can be fulfilled by formal study abroad, and/or approved internship or employment or comparable experience (such as Peace Corps service).

38-05-101 Add. New interdisciplinary major in Science, Technology and Society.

Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2010

Science, Technology, and Society (S T S)

University Park, Colleges of the Liberal Arts and Engineering

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR GREG A. EGHIGIAN, Director

This interdisciplinary major is intended to provide undergraduate students enrolled in another major additional instruction and research in the interaction of science technology, and the health/medical fields with society, leading to a second baccalaureate major. The degree focuses on cultural, historical, ethical, philosophical, legal, and policy issues facing the use of science in cultures (past and present), as well as the social values and consequences of scientific, technological, and medical development in a variety of settings.

The S T S major is a degree that must be taken concurrently with another bachelors' degree in order to specifically enhance the student's primary major. The S T S major cannot be taken as a stand-alone degree. Coursework for the S T S degree can count towards credits in the other major. Research material will overlap between the student's two degrees. The degree granted will be a baccalaureate degree in S T S.

The degree (e.g., B.A., B.S., B.F.A., etc) will normally match that of the student's first major.

Integrated B.S. in Biotechnology - Master of Biotechnology in Biotechnology

The integrated B.S. in Biotechnology-Master of Biotechnology degree program is designed to enable qualified undergraduate students in the B.S. Biotechnology program to graduate in five years with the Master of Biotechnology degree. The requirements of the Master of Biotechnology degree are designed to prepare students for diverse career opportunities in the burgeoning biotechnology industry. The integrated B.S. Biotechnology-Master of Biotechnology program will enhance the preparation and qualifications of B.S. Biotechnology students seeking entry-level positions in biotechnology and related industries. At the same time, students develop a practical knowledge of the laboratory techniques that underlie current research in the life sciences that will serve as excellent preparation for those students in the Master of Biotechnology program who later decide to pursue further graduate degrees.

A maximum of 12 credits will be cross-counted towards the B.S. and Masters degrees, from the following courses:

Microbiology

University Park, Eberly College of Science (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 prokaryotes, and (2) perform basic and advanced techniques in laboratory methodology. Through advanced course study, the many subdisciplines of microbiology such as molecular genetics, 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 such applied areas as industrial, medical, and food microbiology help prepare students for careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnical, and agricultural industries.

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

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

Mining Technology

University College (2MNGT): Penn State Fayette

The Associate of Science degree in Mining Technology blends basic sciences, mathematics, principles and practices of management, and applied courses in Mining Technology to prepare students for supervisory roles in the Mining industry. This major helps prepare students for either a production-oriented or a maintenance-oriented position in the mining industry. Graduates of this major, after serving the required apprenticeship, should be qualified to become certified managers in their field. All students complete a common core of classes, but must also choose to enroll in one of two emphases, Maintenance or Production.

The maintenance emphasis prepares students to become maintenance supervisors. Initially, graduates may work as apprentice electricians or mechanics to gain experience in repairs and planned maintenance. After certification is obtained, they may become involved with maintenance planning, working as or with the chief mine mechanic or chief mine electrician.

The production emphasis helps prepare students to become mine supervisors or engineering aides. Initially, some of the duties are to run transit and act as survey party chief, keep mine maps up to date and make projections, take samples and run analyses, make time studies, and assist with materials handling layouts.

For the Associate of Science degree in Mining Technology, a minimum of 67 credits is required.

Degrees Conferred:

Ph.D., M.A.
Integrated B.A./M.A. Program in Comparative Literature

Graduate programs in Comparative Literature are designed to permit advanced study in several departments along with integrative courses in the Department of Comparative Literature. Both the M.A. and the Ph.D. combine a core of comparative literature requirements with courses in national literatures and further comparative courses, according to each student's interests. For example, programs of study can concentrate on such topics as genres, themes, periods, movements, folktale and oral literature, criticism, and the links between literature and related fields such as theatre or women's studies.

The M.A. is a general humanistic degree that helps prepare students for a variety of situations, including teaching in private high schools or community colleges, or further graduate work. The Ph.D. is a more specialized degree. The Ph.D. in comparative literature can be combined with a minor in a professional field such as teaching English as a second language.

Only the faculty members and courses officially associated with the Department of Comparative Literature are listed here. Faculty members and courses in other departments are also available to comparative literature students according to their preparation.

Admission Requirements

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

Students with appropriate course backgrounds and a 3.00 junior/senior average (on a 4.00 scale) will be considered for admission. The admission process is highly competitive and the best qualified students will be admitted subject to space availability. Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required for admission. Most students who do graduate work in comparative literature hold a B.A. or M.A. degree in comparative literature or in a national language and literature. Students completing degrees in such fields are welcome to apply--as are students in other humanistic fields, such as philosophy or history, if they have studied literature.

For admission to the M.A. program, students should be prepared to study at least one foreign literature in its own language. For admission to the Ph.D. program, students should be prepared to study at least two foreign literatures in their own language. Doctorate-seeking students usually complete the M.A. before being formally admitted to the Ph.D. program, but exceptional students may be admitted from the B.A. level directly to the Ph.D. Students are encouraged to plan a unified M.A./Ph.D. program if they take both degrees here; however, Ph.D. applications are welcomed from students holding or completing an M.A. elsewhere.

Master's Degree Requirements

Requirements for the M.A. in comparative literature include CMLIT 501; 12 further credits in comparative literature courses; 18 credits divided between two literatures (9 credits in each); a master's paper; and proficiency in two foreign languages (one at the level that permits thorough literary analysis of texts, the other at the level of reading proficiency).

Doctoral Degree Requirements

Requirements for the Ph.D. in comparative literature include (1) CMLIT 501, CMLIT 502, and CMLIT 503--with substitute courses if these have been used in the M.A. program; (2) at least an additional 21 credits in literature courses, including course work in the three languages that the student selects, with emphasis on the student's primary literature--students should organize their course work, as much as possible, around a unifying principle, such as genre, period, or theme; (3) an oral candidacy examination; (4) proficiency in three foreign languages; (5) a written comprehensive examination based on a reading list; and (6) a dissertation.

On item (4), two of the foreign languages are to be prepared at a level that permits thorough literary analysis of texts in those languages; the third foreign language may be prepared at reading proficiency only. Upon approval of the department's graduate committee in consultation with an expert in the student's field, an official doctoral minor may be substituted for the reading-proficiency language.

Other Relevant Information

Students pursuing a graduate degree in comparative literature have individualized programs of study within the requirements specified above. For example, one student may emphasize drama; another, the novel. One student may concentrate on earlier literatures; another, on modern. One student may be interested primarily in the European tradition; another, in the New World (or "Inter-American") literatures. In such a program, the relationship between student and adviser is important. Each graduate student works with faculty advisers (a general adviser and a thesis or dissertation adviser) familiar with comparative studies as a whole and with the student's particular area of interest.

Student Aid

Teaching assistantships in the Department of Comparative Literature, as well as in related language and literature departments, typically have been available to students taking comparative literature degrees. In recent years, Comparative Literature students have held assistantships in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Slavic, Spanish, Swahili, and Women's Studies, as well as in Comparative Literature courses. There also is a graduate assistantship position for an editorial assistant to the journal Comparative Literature Studies, which is edited in the department. In addition to the fellowships, graduate assistantships, and other forms of financial aid described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin, the following awards typically have been available to graduate students in this program:

SAMUEL P. BAYARD AWARD

Available annually to a graduate student in comparative literature, selected by the graduate committee of the Department of Comparative Literature. Amount varies.

EDWIN ERLE SPARKS FELLOWSHIPS IN THE HUMANITIES (8)

Available to beginning and continuing graduate students in the following graduate programs: Comparative Literature, English, French, German, History, Philosophy, Spanish, and Speech Communication; stipend $12,260 plus waiver of tuition. Apply to department before January 1.

FOLGER INSTITUTE FELLOWSHIPS

Penn State is a member of the Folger Institute of Renaissance and Eighteenth-Century Studies. Graduate students in Comparative Literature are eligible for Folger Institute Fellowships to study in seminars and workshops at the Folger Library, Washington, D.C.

Integrated B.A./M.A. Program in Comparative Literature (CMLIT)

The Department of Comparative Literature offers an integrated B.A./M.A. program that is designed to allow academically superior baccalaureate students to obtain both the B.A. and the M.A. degrees in Comparative Literature within five years of study. The first two years of undergraduate course work include the University General Education and Liberal Arts requirements in addition to language and literature study in the major. In the third year, students are expected to define areas of interest in two primary literatures in different languages. In addition, students in the B.A./M.A. program should begin to undertake work in a second foreign language. The fourth year includes graduate-level work in methodology and the student's selection of primary literatures, which replaces comparable 400-level senior year courses. The fifth and final year of the program typically consists of graduate work in Comparative Literature courses as well as the chosen literatures. The program culminates with an M.A. paper.

By encouraging greater depth and focus in the course of study beginning in the third undergraduate year, this program helps the student more clearly define his/her area of interest and expertise in the otherwise vast field of international literatures. As a result, long-range academic planning for exceptional students pursuing doctoral degrees after leaving Penn State, or other professional goals, will be greatly enhanced. The student may also be more competitive in applying for admission to Ph.D. programs as well as for institutional and national grant monies and scholarships.

Admission Requirements

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

Must be enrolled in the Comparative Literature B.A. program[1].
Must have completed 60 credits of the undergraduate degree program. (It is strongly suggested that students apply to the program prior to completing 100 credits.)
Must be accepted without reservation into the M.A. program in Comparative Literature.
Should have a recommended overall GPA of 3.2 (on a 4.0 scale) in undergraduate coursework and a minimum GPA of 3.5 in all coursework completed for the major.
Must present a departmentally approved plan of study in the application process.
Must be recommended by the chairs of the Department's undergraduate and graduate committees.

A typical sequence of coursework for the integrated program would appear as follows:

*Year One:*	6 credits:	CMLIT 010 CMLIT 100

*Year Two:*	6 credits:	Foreign Language (beyond the 12-credit level)
	6 credits:	Courses in Literature

*Year Three:*	9 credits:	400-level courses in Literature, including CMLIT 400Y
	(variable credits)	Work in foreign language (credits do not count towards the major, but reading proficiency is required for the M.A. degree)

*Year Four:*	3 credits:	CMLIT 501 (if offered)
	6 credits:	Comparative Literature courses
	6-9 credits:	500-level courses in two Literatures

Year Five:

3 credits:

CMLIT 501 (if offered)

	9-12 credits:	500-level courses in two Literatures
	6 credits:	500-level Comparative Literature Courses M.A. paper

Courses

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.

Admission

A prospective graduate student in Electrical Engineering at Penn State Harrisburg must fulfill the admission requirements as set forth by the Graduate School, and have a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering or its equivalent from an institution that is accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). An undergraduate cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale is required for admission. Exceptions to this will be based on professional experience and other factors such as GRE scores. In addition, a student who does not meet the overall 3.0 grade-point average may be considered for admission if the student has a 3.0 junior/senior grade-point average. Up to 15 credits earned in three semesters or fewer, as a special nondegree student, may be applied toward the master's degree. Those applying for admission as a master of engineering candidate without an electrical engineering degree may be admitted with the stipulation that deficiencies in background, if any, will be remedied early in the program and that these courses will be in addition to the required number of credits for the degree.

Applicants should submit the following:

a graduate online application with the application fee;
official copies of undergraduate transcripts;
test scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) (preferable, but not required);
three (3) letters of reference, especially those from faculty who can evaluate academic potential;
a personal statement of technical interest, goals, and experience.

Test scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required ONLY for those applicants indicating interest in an assistantship.

English Proficiency—The language of instruction at Penn State is English. 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) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and submit the results of that test with the application for admission. Departments and programs may have more stringent requirements and may require all international applicants to submit a TOEFL or IELTS score regardless of their academic background. A TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper-based test), 213 (computer-based test) or a total score of 80 on the Internet-based test (iBT), with a minimum of 19 points on the speaking section, is required for admission. Graduate programs may require a higher score. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) module provides an exam to test four mandatory skill areas: listening, reading, writing and speaking. All four modules are equally weighted in the evaluation process. The International English Language Testing System has been approved by the Graduate Council as an alternative exam to the TOEFL for international students applying to Penn State. A minimum composite score of 6.5 on the IELTS test is required for admission.

Completed International Application material must be submitted by the following deadlines: May 31 for the fall semester; September 30 for the spring semester; February 28 for the summer session. Applications received after these deadlines will be processed for the following semester.

PLEASE NOTE: Each graduate program reserves the right to set earlier deadlines than those noted above.

Master of Engineering Paper

A candidate for the master of engineering degree in Electrical Engineering must write a scholarly report or engineering paper and defend it before three faculty members. The paper is intended to be a relatively short document compared with a thesis. A published paper may be used to meet this requirement. The paper should be written according to the standards set for an IEEE publication.

The engineering paper may be initiated by taking the 1-credit ENGR 594 course. This should be done approximately halfway through the program. Once the proposal is approved and the work well under way, the student should register for ENGR 594 with his/her paper adviser. Work will proceed as planned under the direction of the paper adviser, though changes may be made with the consent of the master's paper committee.

Degree Requirements

A total of 33 credits is required for a Master of Engineering degree, of which at least 24 must be taken through Penn State Harrisburg engineering graduate programs. Up to 9 credits of graduate work may be transferred from other institutions provided (a) credits are suitable for the particular engineering discipline, and (b) students have earned a grade of B or better. At least 18 credits must be at the 500 level, which includes 3 credits of ENGR 594.

Generally, students enrolled in the program for the Master of Engineering degree in Electrical Engineering must earn 12 credits in the required core courses (i.e., courses with the E E prefix).

Master of Science

The Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) at Penn State Harrisburg is structured into two areas of concentration to fully take advantage of the specialty areas represented in the Electrical Engineering graduate faculty. The areas are Electronics-Electromagnetics-Optics (EEO) and Systems. The program requires 31 credits, including 24 course credits with at least 15 credits at the 500 level, one colloquium credit, and 6 thesis credits (600-level). All students are required to take a 500-level analysis course (E MCH 524A) in addition to prescribed courses in one of the two concentrations. The prescribed courses are intended to establish the fundamentals of the technical areas. To incorporate some breadth into the program, students are required to take at least one course in the second concentration area. A maximum of three 400-level courses (12 credits) may be taken for the MSEE degree.

Original research, usually requiring at least two semesters of work (nominal 6 credits), is expected for a thesis. The work should be an in-depth investigation intended to extend the state of knowledge in some specialty area.

The Electrical Engineering program has established a six-year time limit for completion of the M.S. degree. Any extension beyond six years requires approval of the Electrical Engineering program Graduate Faculty.

The student must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 or better on a 4.00 scale in 500 and 400-level courses listed on his /her Plan of Study.

Penn State Harrisburg's Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) program is distinct and independent of the MSEE program offered at the University Park campus.
