PROFESSOR CHARLES A. COLE, Program Chair
The Environmental Engineering major helps graduates obtain the skills necessary to analyze, design, and manage air pollution control, water supply, waste water treatment, solid waste handling, and hazardous waste systems. A thorough background in engineering fundamentals is provided by a broad core of courses in basic science and mathematics emphasizing sciences such as chemistry and microbiology.
A sequence of environmental engineering design courses distinguishes the undergraduate program. In the senior year, a majority of the environmental engineering courses, such as Solid Waste Management, Treatment Plant Design, Hydraulic Design, and Hazardous Waste Management, utilize a team approach to meet project design objectives. These courses also emphasize written and oral communication of engineering concepts and project results. There is a considerable emphasis on conservation, reuse, and pollution prevention as pollution control strategies in these courses.
Environmental Engineering students are qualified to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination leading to certification as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) and, with appropriate experience after graduation, sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) examination leading to registration as a Professional Engineer. They are also qualified to pursue graduate education in Environmental Engineering or other related majors such as Environmental Pollution Control. ENVE graduates are qualified to work at the entry level in a variety of jobs related to environmental protection and management in government and private industry.
For a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering, a minimum of 131 credits is required.
Entry to Major Requirements:
A 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average is required.

34-07-312 Add. New Integrated B.S. in Labor and Industrial Relations and M.S. in Industrial Relations and Human Resources (LRIRHR).
Proposed effective date: Fall Semester 2006
PROFESSOR PAUL CLARK, Head
This major permits students to undertake a study of work and the employment relationship in the context of a liberal arts education. A broad foundation of theoretical and professional knowledge is provided through a multidisciplinary approach. The B.A. and B.S. degrees draw on the perspectives of disciplines such as industrial relations, economics, history, law, sociology, and psychology. This focus includes the nature and functions of the institutions involved in the employment relationship. The B.S. degree requires more course work in quantification than the B.A. degree.
Graduates of labor and industrial relations are equipped for employment in business, government, and labor organizations as labor relations specialists, personnel and human resource specialists, researchers, organizers, consultants, and professionals in mediation and arbitration. The degree is also appropriate preparation for graduate study and law school.
For the B.S. degree in Labor and Industrial Relations, a minimum of 123 credits is required.

PROFESSOR PAUL F. CLARK, Head
The integrated LIR B.S. and IRHR M.S. is a five-year program designed for academically talented baccalaureate students to obtain both the B.S. and the M.S. degrees in LIR and IRHR with five years of study. Students will develop expertise in the human resources and labor relations fields beyond the B.S. degree. The undergraduate curriculum educates students about (1) the roles of employers, employees, employee organizations and public policy makers play in the employment relationship; (2) the complex personal and organizational issues inherent in the employment relationship; (3) and how to systematically analyze those complex issues and evaluate research relevant to those analyses. The graduate curriculum provides for more individualized, focused learning in a concentrated sub-area of the IRHR field. The program culminates with an M.S. research paper. Upon completion of the integrated degree, students will enter the workforce with advanced knowledge and expertise gained from conducting and analyzing empirical work and participating in seminar-style classes.

SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
This interdepartmental doctoral minor draws upon the opportunities that various departments offer to study the processes of language acquisition and pedagogy, and to conduct research in these fields. Developments in the theories of language acquisition, the practices in language instruction, and the technical innovations provide a wide range of resources for secondary specializations in second language acquisition theory. The minor provides an official credential for doctoral students who complete an organized program of study.
The minor requires a minimum of 15 credits at the 400, 500, or 600 levels (beyond credits used for degree requirements in the student’s field of study), consisting of one or two methodology courses totaling 3 credits and 12 additional credits selected from an interdepartmental list of eligible courses, with approval both by the student’s doctoral committee in his or her major field, and by the person in charge of the minor. A maximum of 6 credits may be taken at the 400 level, and no more than 3 credits of 602 may count toward the minor. Courses in at least two departments must be included. Further, students must complete at least two semesters’ experience in supervised teaching of either a foreign language or ESL, or alternative equivalent practicum if approved by the doctoral committee and the person in charge of the Minor.
In general, students whose major field of study in the Ph.D. is a concentration in foreign language acquisition or ESL are not eligible for this minor, as their field of specialization already includes this area. However, students in English as a Second Language may do the minor with a focus on foreign language acquisition or a student with a specialty area in forced language acquisition may complete the minor with a specialty area in English as a Second Language.
SOCIAL THOUGHT
The purpose of the Social Thought minor is to enable graduate students in a variety of fields to study theories of society across conventional disciplinary boundaries. The minor enables qualified students to enrich their own chosen fields of study with readings and discoveries from other, contiguous fields.
Each student's course of study is planned jointly by the student, the graduate adviser in the student's department, and a designated representative of the Social Thought program. The minor requires 9 to 15 credits in addition to the requirements for the student's major. Three of these 15 credits must be satisfied by successful completion of the program's required course, SOCTH 501 Introduction to Social Thought. Students select the remaining credits from a list of approved courses outside their major departments. These approved courses typically reflect a direct emphasis on the methodologies and approaches common to social thought.
WOMEN’S STUDIES
This interdisciplinary graduate minor is administered by the Women’s Studies program. Each student’s minor is planned by the student and the Women’s Studies graduate adviser in consultation with the student’s graduate adviser in his or her major field.
The minor requires a minimum of 9 credits of Women’s Studies courses for a master’s degree and 15 credits for a doctorate. These credits are in addition to the requirements for the student’s major. Six credits consist of required course in feminist theory (3) and feminist methodology (3). The remaining credits may include a combination of WMNST 400- and 500-level courses, as well as special topics courses (numbered 497 and 597) and independent/individual studies (496 and 596).
Prescribed courses (6 credits): WMNST/HD FS 507 Feminist Theory; WMNST 597 Feminist Perspectives on Research and Teaching. Additional courses (a minimum of 3 credits at the 500 level)

The Program
Operating under the auspices of the School of Business Administration, Penn State Harrisburg's master's degree program in information systems is designed to meet the rapidly increasing need for technically grounded, upper-level information resources managers within business organizations. With the exception of a small percentage of students who are full-time, the students served by the M.S.I.S. program are employees of area businesses, state and local governments, and not-for-profit organizations who study on a part-time basis. In order to accommodate both full- and part-time students, courses are primarily offered in the evening.
The two-fold nature of the program requires a manager to have competence both in information technology and in management theory; therefore, the curriculum combines the highly technical content of information science with the managerial emphasis of information systems. Unlike computer science programs, which tend to focus on computer hardware and architecture, this program is organized around applied computer-based activities, the development of communication skills, and managerial principles.
Students may elect to take one of two options in the program: Information Systems in Health Care Management and Delivery, or Information Systems in the Life Sciences. Each of these options requires a total of 36 credits. Alternatively, students can earn the degree without notation of an option; the total credits required for the degree under this choice are 30 credits.
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the program must hold a baccalaureate degree in any field from an accredited, college-level institution. Students who apply for the option in Life Sciences must hold a baccalaureate degree in life sciences or a related field from an accredited college-level institution. Decisions are based primarily on undergraduate junior-senior grade-point average and the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores. (Please visit www.gmac.com for more information on the GMAT). Post-baccalaureate course work, professional experience, and the statements provided in the application are also taken into account.
Students are also required to submit the following:
An application is available on the web at www.hbg.psu.edu or by calling 717-948-6250.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) (www.toefl.org) must be taken by applicants for whom English is not their first language or whose language of instruction was not English. Submit the results of that test with the application for admission. A TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based test) or 213 (computer-based test) or higher is required for admission.
All students with international credentials must submit transcripts to Educational Credential evaluators, Inc. (ECE) for a "course by course" academic evaluation of transcripts and degree. An ECE application can be obtained on the web at: www.ece.org.
Application Dates
Candidates may enter the program at the beginning of the fall, spring, or summer session. To allow time for applications to be processed, all information, including GMAT score, must be received by Enrollment Services no later than July 18 for admission to the fall semester, November 18 for admission to the spring semester, and April 18 for admission to the summer session.
Applicants from outside the United States must follow the early admission dates in order to allow the necessary clearances and paperwork to be processed in time.
Entry Requirements
Analytic Skills Requirement: Prior to enrolling in their M.S.I.S. course work, students are required to demonstrate competence in Analytic skills. This requirement may be demonstrated by: (1) satisfactory completion of college-level courses in calculus and statistics such as QUANT 310 or MATH 110 plus STAT 200 or (2) successful completion of a calculus and statistics proficiency examination approved by the M.S.I.S. program. This requirement must be taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of C or better.
Credit by Examination: Interested students should obtain a Credit by Examination form from Enrollment Services and should consult with the M.S.I.S. Program to schedule the exam and obtain a list of suggested preparatory materials.
Computer Skills Requirement: Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in the use of Microcomputer Applications. This requirement can be satisfied through completion of a college-level microcomputer applications course within the past five years with a grade of B or higher or by documented significant computer-related work experience. If this requirement has not been met prior to admission, a college-level microcomputer course such as M I S 103 or CMPSC 203--Microcomputers in Business--is required. Course work must be taken either during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of B or higher.
Communication Skills Requirement: Successful completion of the M.S.I.S. program requires the ability to think clearly and to write and speak persuasively. Part of this requirement can be met by obtaining a score of "4" or more on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA). If this score is not achieved, students must satisfy this requirement through additional course work in writing skills or other work developed in consultation with the M.S.I.S. Program. This requirement must be satisfied during the first semester or summer session of the student's matriculation and completed with a grade of B or higher. The speech component of this requirement is satisfied through individual and group presentations in courses in the M.S.I.S. Program.
Pre-Program Requirement: The Pre-program requirement provides a basic foundation in theory, tools and techniques required for the management of profit and non-profit organizations. It also provides a basic understanding of applications of financial accounting, the creation and distribution of goods and services, and how people relate to others in various organizations, helping to merge two related disciplines: business and information systems. Students who have completed the appropriate pre-program courses previously must have completed the courses with a grade of B or higher within seven years prior to admission, or through equivalent graduate course work completed with a B or higher within seven years prior to admission or college level course work validated by recent work experience. Students who have not met these tests of relevancy, grade or currency, prior to admission to the program must take these courses at the graduate level and early in Program. Students choosing an option in life sciences are required to have a baccalaureate degree in life sciences or a related field.

Students electing an option in the M.S.I.S. program must complete a total of 36 credits in the major to obtain the degree.
A minimum 3.0 grade-point average is required before a student is awarded an M.S. degree in Information Systems.
All course work must be completed within six years, or seven consecutive summers of matriculation.
Transfer Credits
Up to 10 transfer credits may be applied toward the degree. However, credits used to complete a previous graduate degree may not be applied. These courses must have been taken within the past five years, appear on a graduate transcript, and have been passed with a B grade or higher. It must be the opinion of the reviewing faculty that these courses are equivalent in quality to those offered at Penn State Harrisburg. Credit will not be given for any class used to complete a previous degree.
Course Substitutions
Because some students enter the Program with advanced knowledge in one or more subject areas, up to six credits in prescribed or additional courses may be replaced with more advanced graduate courses in the same subject area. Except for INFSY 554, which must be taken at the College, INFSY prescribed and additional courses, in cases where there is equivalent knowledge, must be replaced with more advanced courses in the same field. Substitutions are based on a minimum of six credits of advanced undergraduate course work in an area of concentration or credits earned in an equivalent graduate-level program at an accredited, college-level institution. These courses must have been completed within the past five years and have earned a grade of B or better. Substituted courses must be replaced with other advanced graduate courses in the field for which the substitute is the foundation/prerequisite. Substitutions are based on past academic performance. An examination cannot be used for earned graduate course credit.
Grade-Point Average and Time Limit
A 3.00 (out of 4.00) minimum grade-point average is required FOR THE AWARD OF THE M.S.I.S. degree. All course work must be completed within six years, or seven consecutive summers, of matriculation.

The integrated B.S. in Labor and Industrial Relations and M.S. in Industrial Relations and Human Resources is a five-year program designed for academically talented baccalaureate students to obtain both the B.S. and the M.S. degrees in LIR and IRHR with five years of study. Students will develop expertise in the human resources and labor relations fields beyond the B.S. degree. The undergraduate curriculum educates students about (1) the roles of employers, employees, employee organizations and public policy makers play in the employment relationship; (2) the complex personal and organizational issues inherent in the employment relationship; (3) and how to systematically analyze those complex issues and evaluate research relevant to those analyses. The graduate curriculum provides for more individualized, focused learning in a concentrated sub-area of the IRHR field. The program culminates with an M.S. research paper. Upon completion of the integrated degree, students will enter the workforce with advanced knowledge and expertise gained from conducting and analyzing empirical work and participating in seminar-style classes.

The graduate programs emphasize productive scholarship and research in the development of nursing knowledge and the translation of knowledge into practice. Advanced study is in human health and development throughout the life span, and in nursing’s role in providing health services to individuals, families, and communities.
The Ph.D. program prepares nurse scientists and clinical scholars to provide leadership in nursing education, practice and research. Individualized curricula prepare nursing graduates to assume positions as faculty, advanced clinicians, clinical researchers and leadership positions in community, governmental, or institutional settings.
The M.S. degree in Nursing prepares advanced practice nurses as clinical nurse specialists or nurse practitioners. Two options are offered within the major of Nursing: Clinical Nurse Specialist with an intensive role specialty concentration or minor and Family Nurse Practitioner. The master’s degree program in Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The Family Nurse Practitioner option is designed to help prepare the professional nurse to function in an expanded nursing role providing direct care to specific groups of clients in both primary and acute care settings. Since that practice is inherently interdisciplinary in nature, advanced knowledge and research from nursing is combined with knowledge from science, medicine, and related disciplines.
The Clinical Nurse Specialist option prepares advanced practice nurses in a specialty field to plan, implement, and evaluate care in a variety of settings. They function in direct care, supervisory, consultative, teaching, and research roles serving individuals, families, and communities.
Admission Requirements for M.S. and Ph.D. Programs
Additional Requirements for M.S. Applicants1. Satisfactory scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required. (Exceptions may be made to these requirements at the discretion of the graduate faculty in Nursing for students with distinctive backgrounds, abilities, and interests.) In addition, students must submit transcripts of all previous course work from institutions of higher learning, two letters of reference for the master’s program and three letters of reference for the doctoral program. The letters should evaluate the students’ aptitude for graduate study. All students must submit a sample of scholarly writing in the form of an essay. In addition to the application essay, doctoral applicants must also submit a published or unpublished scientific paper, thesis, etc.
2. A baccalaureate degree in Nursing from an accredited program is required for all applicants. Students entering the doctoral program via the traditional post-master’s route must have earned a master’s degree with a major in nursing from a program accredited by a national accrediting agency for nursing. The applications of well-qualified applicants with a baccalaureate degree in nursing and master’s degree in a related discipline (e.g., public health) will be evaluated individually to assess the need for prerequisite master’s-level course work in nursing for doctoral program admission.
3. Cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) for junior/senior baccalaureate degree for M.S. applicants and 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) for master’s and subsequent course work for doctoral applicants.
4. International students for whom English is not the primary language must demonstrate competence in English, as reflected in a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 550 or above on a paper-based test or 213 or above on a computer-based test.
6. Applicants must be licensed to practice professional nursing in at least one state (or in a foreign country).
M.S. Degree Requirements
A core of courses including nursing issues, theory, and research is required of all students. Candidates in the Clinical Nurse Specialist option must earn a minimum of 34 to 41 credits (including an intensive concentration in a specialty area). In the Family Nurse Practitioner option, the requirement is a minimum of 47 to 50 credits. Students in all options may choose to do either a thesis for 6 credits or a scholarly paper for 3 credits. The scholarly paper option is designed to be as academically rigorous as the thesis option. A scholarly paper demonstrates the application of theory and research to a clinical problem based on review of literature and research utilization for that problem.
Ph.D. Degree Requirements
Candidacy Examination: All students must satisfactorily complete the candidacy examination, which is designed to confirm the student’s mastery of basic nursing theory and research methods. For students entering the doctoral program with a master’s degree, the candidacy examination must be taken before the end of the first year of full-time study or the equivalent. Students who fail the examination on the first attempt may repeat it once. Students who fail the examination the second time are terminated from the program.
Comprehensive Examination: The comprehensive examination is designed to test the student’s mastery of and ability to synthesize and integrate the theoretical basis for nursing science, advanced research methods and the chosen specialty area. This examination is taken upon completion of all course work. Students who fail the examination on the first attempt may repeat it once. Students who fail the examination the second time are terminated from the program.
English Competency: All students will be assessed for deficiencies in reading, writing and speaking of English during the core nursing courses prior to the candidacy examination; should remedial work be necessary, the student will be directed to the appropriate sources. International students will be advised that the passage of the minimal TOEFL requirement does not demonstrate the level of competence expected of a Ph.D. in nursing.
Communication and Language Requirement: A foreign language will not be required. However, all students are required to be computer literate in word processing and use of statistical packages, as determined by their dissertation committee, and will be assessed for communication skills during core nursing courses.
Dissertation: Each student is required to conduct an original and independent research project which adds to nursing’s body of knowledge, and to communicate the research report in a written dissertation. A written dissertation proposal is required and must be approved at a proposal hearing by a majority vote of the student’s dissertation committee. A majority vote is also required for approval of the completed written dissertation at the final oral defense.
Student Aid
In addition to the fellowships, traineeships, 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:
U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE TRAINEESHIPS IN NURSING

The Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Plant Biology includes faculty from nine departments in the College of Agricultural Sciences, College of Engineering, and Eberly College of Science. Each student becomes associated with the adviser's department, which may provide financial support, research facilities, and office space. Applicants are encouraged to explore opportunities by contacting faculty who may be prospective advisers.
The objective of this program is to educate and train plant biologists using the most modern techniques available today. Graduates from this program have gone on to a diverse range of careers, including positions in colleges and universities, research institutes, industry, and government. Research interests of the program faculty span the breadth of scientific areas ranging from molecular cell and evolutionary biology, biochemistry, biophysics and genetics, and functional genomics to whole-plant physiology and ecology. Student training includes a comprehensive set of team-taught courses that reflect this breadth of scientific approaches.
Admission Requirements
Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Aptitude Test (verbal, quantitative, analytical) are required for admission. At the discretion of the graduate program officers, a student may be admitted provisionally for graduate study in a program without these scores. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.
Students with a 3.00 junior/senior grade-point average (on a 4.00 scale) and with appropriate course background will be considered for admission. The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces available for new students. Students entering this program should have had a strong foundation in the biological sciences, including biochemistry, general physics, and college mathematics through calculus. Students with limited deficiencies may be admitted but must make up their deficiencies concurrently with their graduate studies. B.S.-level applicants with good academic records who have had strong training in plant biology and related courses, including research experience, are generally admitted directly into the Ph.D. program and bypass the M.S. degree.
Master's Degree Requirements
Candidates for the M.S. must take a written diagnostic examination during the first academic year in the program. The functions of this test are to (1) determine the areas of expertise and deficiency in the student’s academic preparation and (2) serve as an early screening system to eliminate students with too great an academic deficiency to continue in the program.
As part of the core courses for any degree in the Plant Biology program, all students must enroll in the two tutorial courses, PLBIO 512 and PLBIO 513, and an ethics course (IBIOS 591). Students are presented with advanced lectures in various areas of plant biology and must prepare approximately three written solutions to problems per semester. This dossier of papers constitutes the written diagnostic examination for the M.S. degree and is also used for evaluation of English writing competency. At the end of the respective semesters, the faculty coordinator will present a summary and evaluation of the student’s progress to the Candidacy Examination Committee. The committee will then decide if the student has passed the written diagnostic examination and satisfied English writing competency.
All M.S. degree candidates will be required to complete 30 credits of course work. In addition to the courses mentioned previously, students must include 1 credit of colloquium (PLBIO 590) taken in the first year, and at least 6 credits of thesis research (PLBIO 600 or PLBIO 610) in their program and they must complete a thesis. Upon recommendation of the advisory committee, equivalent courses taken at another university may be substituted for the above requirements.
Doctoral Degree Requirements
Students in the Ph.D. program must successfully pass the candidacy, comprehensive, and final examinations required by the Graduate School. One of the main goals of the candidacy examination is to determine the potential of a student to successfully obtain a Ph.D. degree and is intended to be a vigorous test of a student’s abilities, prior to the major investment in time and effort necessary to pass the comprehensive examination.
As in the M.S. program, students enrolled in the Ph.D. program must pass a written English competency evaluation based on the dossier of papers written for PLBIO 512 and PLBIO 513. This evaluation is done at the end of the student’s first year. The oral candidacy examination is based on two of the papers, jointly chosen by the student and the Candidacy Examination Committee, and must be passed by the end of the student’s third semester.
Ph.D. candidates must complete the core courses required for the M.S. plus three 2-credit courses dealing with theory and techniques of plant ecophysiology, plant cell biology, and plant molecular biology (PLBIO 514, PLBIO 515, PLBIO 516) and 2 credits of colloquium (PLBIO 590) taken in the first year. Upon recommendation of the candidacy committee, equivalent courses taken at another university may be substituted for some of the above requirements. Based on the results of the candidacy examinations, the major professor and the student’s advisory committee will determine other course requirements.
Other Relevant Information

Their descriptions may be found under the offerings of several departments: AGRO 517, AGRO 518; BIOL 407, BIOL 431, BIOL 441, BIOL 448, BIOL 510, BIOL 513; BMMB 514, BMMB 520, BMMB 525; HORT 402W, HORT 407, HORT 412W, HORT 420, HORT 440W, HORT 444, HORT 445, HORT 517, HORT 520; PPATH 405, PPATH 516, PPATH 543; any course offered by the Plant Biology program.
Student Aid
Graduate assistantships available to students in this program and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin. In most participating departments, Plant Biology applicants are eligible for departmental teaching or research assistantships, and other assistantships supported by grant funds of individual faculty who make these award decisions.
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.

The graduate certificate program in Community and Economic Development prepares students to confront the multidimensional challenges faced by community development practitioners. The main objective of the certificate program is to educate professionals who will assume leadership roles in helping establish and maintain viable communities. Graduates will become deeply involved in assisting localities with a variety of issues, including: developing new organizations and new industries, growth management, protecting the environment, revitalizing downtown areas, enhancing the local quality of life, assisting educational, social, health and human service systems, and developing vital infrastructure--in short, helping communities shape their own futures.
The program will teach the theory, skills and tools that allow practitioners to address the important issues in community and economic development. The program will emphasize topical problems, drawing from the experiences of both students and the faculty. The certificate program is a Penn State World Campus educational counterpart to the strong research and extension programs in rural revitalization, community and economic development of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, College of Agricultural Sciences.
Students in Community and Economic Development gain a broad understanding of the dynamics of communities and their social, economic and political systems. With this training, graduates will have a wide range of career opportunities in an expanding job market. Some work for local or regional governments, industrial development authorities and chambers of commerce, major corporations, non-governmental organizations, or consulting firms. Others may work for development authorities, housing authorities, planning commissions or environmental planning and development agencies.
While the degree emphasizes applied learning and practical experience, the program is flexible enough to provide students with the requisite knowledge and skills to enable them to commence and make rapid progress toward the Master of Science (MS) degree in Community and Economic Development.
Program Requirements
The Graduate Certificate Program in Community and Economic Development (CEDev Certificate) requires 13 credits, consisting of four 3-credit courses and a 1-credit integrative project/paper. The CEDev Graduate Certificate, is designed to build a basic level of knowledge and skills required for practitioners to address the important issues in community and economic development. Admission to the program requires applicants to provide evidence of completion of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution.
The certificate program is designed primarily for professionals in the field who wish to expand their existing and for those who wish to learn about community and economic development, including those working in or interested in dealing with the variety of development issues in America's towns, boroughs, small cities and rural areas. Courses will be delivered via a combination of technologies including (but not necessarily limited to) Internet/WWW. Email, print media, and CD-ROM.
The five required courses introduce students to the field and cover the topics of Principles of Community and Economic Development and Leadership, Rural Organization, the Economics of Natural Resources and Rural Development, and, Population, Land Use and Municipal Finance. Associated with each course are several tools, methods and techniques for community and economic development practice. The special project asks the student to integrate concepts and practices from the first four courses in an applied project or paper. Courses in the certificate program may be transferred into the M.S. program for qualified applicants.
