Communications

Communications is an interdisciplinary program that combines practical, professional instruction with critical and cultural examinations of mass media. Our interdisciplinary and theoretical approach enables our students to understand the contextual relationships between contemporary media and ethics, history, drama, and art, as well as the mechanics of emerging information technologies. We feature small classes, a multidisciplinary faculty with real-world professional experience, high-technology laboratories, and an excellent location for media internships. This major prepares students for careers in areas such as public relations, journalism, graphic design, photography, new media, advertising, media production, and telecommunications. Because of our analytical approach, students can use the major to prepare for postgraduate studies.

DSL: A maximum of twelve credits of CSA course work may be transferred for credit toward the J.D. degree at DSL. Students must obtain a grade satisfactory to DSL for the course work to be credited toward the J.D. degree. The following courses offered by CSA may qualify for credit in DSL: (1) CSA 501 (Introduction to College Student Affairs); (2) CSA 502 (Organization and Administration in College Affairs); (3) CSA 503 (Student Development in College Environments); and (4) CSA 504 (Research and Assessment in Student Affairs).

Students who have first been admitted to the CSA program and taken graduate courses pursuant to an M.Ed. in College Student Affairs before enrolling in DSL may petition DSL to have such courses credited toward the J.D. degree. Students may make such petitions after they have been enrolled in DSL for at least one year. Petitions for crediting prior CSA course work will be evaluated on the basis of the students’ academic progress at DSL.

CSA: What courses may be credited will be determined by the student’s degree program. Normally a maximum of nine credits of DSL course work will be counted for credit for the minimum requirements for a master’s degree, subject to approval by the Professor-in-Charge.

Sequence: The sequence of courses will be determined by the students and their advisors.

Recommended Program of Study and Advising: All students in the program will have two advisors, one from DSL and one from CSA. Periodic interaction between the two advisors will be encouraged. A program of study will be developed for each student, taking into account the fact that some courses are offered on a rotating or intermittent basis. Many courses are offered every year but some are offered every two or three years. Advisors will have available a list of projected relevant courses or educational experiences in order to work with the student on an individualized program of study. The standard committee structure will apply to the CSA programs.

Tuition: Students will be charged the applicable DSL tuition to cover the J.D. program and the applicable graduate tuition to cover the CSA degree program. DSL tuition will be paid for the semesters in which the student is registered for DSL courses, and graduate tuition will be paid for the semesters in which the student is registered for graduate courses. A student may take up to one course (3 credit hours) per semester in the program where the student is not primarily registered without any change in tuition, but must pay additional tuition to the program that the student is not primarily registered if he or she wishes to take additional course work pursuant to that program during the semester.

Financial Aid and Assistantships: Decisions on financial aid and assistantships will be made by each school according to that school’s procedures.

Fulfillment of Degree Requirements and Graduation: All courses in one program that will count toward meeting the requirements of the other program must be completed before the awarding of either degree. Students will be required to fulfill all requirements for each degree in order to be awarded that degree, subject to the interprogram transfer of credits. With respect to CSA program requirements for a learning portfolio, work done while at DSL under the supervision of a DSL faculty member may be appropriate for incorporation into the learning portfolio with the approval of the CSA degree program committee (in such cases, the committee should consider whether the credits afforded such work will be subject to the twelve credit maximum for interprogram transfers). A DSL faculty member must be a member of the committee).

If for some reason the student cannot complete the requirements of the J.D. degree, the student will still be allowed to count DSL courses already taken toward the M.Ed. in CSA, even if he or she is no longer in the joint degree program.

edthp@psu.edu

The master's and doctoral programs in Educational Theory and Policy are designed primarily to prepare persons for careers in education policy development and analysis. Students in the program may choose to emphasize policy development and analysis either in the United States or in terms of a comparative and international perspective. Additionally, individualized multidisciplinary programs of study in the foundation areas of education (history, philosophy, sociology, and comparative/international) and in the social sciences, management sciences, and/or humanities will be designed jointly by the student and the program faculty. It is anticipated that graduates will find employment in state departments of education, ministries of education, federal and international education agencies, academic institutions, and various professional associations.

Admission Requirements

Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students. Students with a 2.75 grade-point average will be considered for admission to the master's program, and with a 3.00 grade-point average at the master's level for the Ph.D. program. Exceptions to the minimum grade-point average may be made for students with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests.

Candidates who seek an M.A. in Educational Theory and Policy shall complete programs that will include studies in social theory, policy, and planning or in the social sciences or humanities. A thesis is required.

Candidates who seek a Ph.D. in Educational Theory and Policy shall complete programs that will include studies in social theory, policy, and planning, or in the social sciences or humanities.

All doctoral students must pass a written candidacy examination after nine to eighteen hours of study.

Candidates for the Ph.D. degree are required to complete a minimum of two consecutive semesters in residence during an academic year.

The communication and foreign language requirements for the Ph.D. degree may be satisfied by options selected from foreign languages, statistics, computer science, logic, or other research methodologies deemed acceptable by the candidate's doctoral committee.

At the end of the program of study, each student must take a written and oral comprehensive examination that will cover the student's major areas of study.

Upon admission, each student will be assigned to a faculty adviser whose specialization best coincides with the student's background or academic interest. For the master's degree, the adviser and student together will plan the program of study. For doctoral students, the adviser and student will plan the early aspects of study, but an interdisciplinary committee will be formed, soon after the student is admitted to candidacy, to supervise completion of a program of study.

Graduate assistantships available to doctoral students in this program and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Joint Degree Program between The Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law (J.D.) and the Educational Theory And Policy Program (M.A., & Ph.D.)

Educational Leadership (EDLDR)

NONA PRESTINE , In Charge of Graduate Programs in Educational Leadership
300 Rackley Building
814-865-1487

Graduate work in the Educational Leadership program encompasses two major strands or paths. The first strand focuses on those who want to engage in a wide variety of leadership roles within and directly affecting schools and districts. These roles include, but are not limited to teacher leadership, instructional leadership, principal leadership, and district-level leadership. This strand may also lead to certification and/or letters of endorsement in supervision, the principalship or the superintendency. The second strand focuses on those who want to exercise leadership roles in educational policy arenas and/or engage in educational research. Possible roles include: intermediate unit officials, state and federal agency administrators and staff, professors of educational administration, and research and development personnel. The principalship certification is also available at Penn State Great Valley and Penn State Harrisburg.

Scores from the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) are required for admission to the doctoral programs in Educational Leadership. When the MAT is not available (e.g., some overseas locations), Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores or Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), may be substituted. At the discretion of a graduate program, a student may be admitted provisionally. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Applicants to the M.Ed. and M.S. degree programs must present evidence of at least a 2.60 grade-point average in the last two years of undergraduate work. A grade-point average of 3.50 in prior graduate work is required of those desiring admission to enter a doctoral program. The best-qualified students will be accepted up to the number of spaces available. Special backgrounds and experiences may allow for conditional admission to those not meeting stated criteria.

More details concerning the degree and certification programs are presented in a prospectus that is available upon request.

All candidates for the M.Ed. and M.S. degrees will complete a minimum of 30 graduate credits. Certification for various public school administrative positions requires additional graduate work beyond the master's degree and such requirements as specified in the program prospectus.

M.Ed. students must submit a master's paper. M.S. degree students are expected to submit a thesis.

Candidates for the D.Ed. degree are required to spend at least one semester and one summer session consecutively in full-time residence during a twelve-month period. Ph.D. candidates are strongly encouraged to spend two academic years in residence, but must spend at least two consecutive semesters in residence. D.Ed. candidates may satisfy the residence requirement in another manner consistent with Graduate School policy, including attendance at the day-long seminars offered weekly every other academic year. Candidates for all degrees are required to combine work in the social sciences and humanities with the specialization in Educational Leadership.

Expectations of candidates for both the D.Ed. and Ph.D. are high in the field of research competence and require the ability to identify and conceptualize a research problem for the thesis. The D.Ed. is more appropriate for those with career goals in administration and policy making. The Ph.D. is more appropriate for those with career goals in research and scholarship.

After the doctoral student has been admitted to a doctoral program and has completed forty to forty-five hours beyond the bachelor's degree, his or her name is usually submitted for candidacy. After a student is admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree, he or she takes the comprehensive written and oral examinations. After those are successfully completed, the student presents a thesis problem on a significant, researchable topic, evidenced by a prospectus to the doctoral committee for review.

American Indian students participate in a special administrator preparation program. Foreign students can work on research topics in their home nations.

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.

Admission into the Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) Engineering Management program will be granted only to candidates who demonstrate high potential for success in graduate studies. Admission decisions are based on baccalaureate academic records, scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), and letters of recommendation. Applicants should have undergraduate degrees in engineering or technology from an accredited university and are expected to have completed undergraduate coursework in calculus and economics. Furthermore, prospective graduate students must meet the admission requirements as set by Penn Sate Graduate School.

An undergraduate cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale, and scores from the GMAT are required for admission. Students demonstrating high potential but failing to meet the minimum GMAT score requirements may be considered on the basis of professional accomplishments and other criteria that may predict success in the program.

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 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 new speaking portion 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.

All graduate students in Engineering Management are required to adhere to the requirements of the Graduate School, as found in the Graduate Degree Programs Bulletin. The requirements of the Graduate School, however, are minimum requirements and the policies, procedures, and regulations listed below are additional and more specific for graduate students pursuing the M.P.S. Engineering Management degree. Advisors will call pertinent regulations to the attention of their advisees, but it should be understood that it is the student's personal responsibility to see that all requirements are satisfied.

The Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) Engineering Management degree is a 34-credit graduate degree program that integrates engineering with business and management principles. The multi-disciplinary, broadly based M.P.S. program will provide engineers with business and management perspectives to enhance capability in management of large projects.

All M.P.S. students will be required to take eight core courses (21 credits) focusing on economic analysis, communication and teamwork, management processes, corporate finance, energy and the environment, and engineering analysis.

The curriculum requires the completion of two free electives (6 credits) in any of the engineering disciplines, and a culminating experience through a three-course sequence (7 credits) on strategic management of new ventures and innovations. Of the 34 credits required for the degree, 31 credits must be earned in 500-level graduate courses.

Please see the list of faculty on the Web site www.genetics.psu.edu for the full range of areas represented.

Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for admission. Only under exceptional circumstances will an applicant be considered without these scores. In addition, applicants should have a cumulative undergraduate grade-point average of at least 3.00 and appropriate courses in biology (including genetics, organic chemistry or biochemistry), statistics, other sciences, and communications. The application must include three letters of reference and a statement describing and explaining interests in genetics, types of organism and research preferred, and goals during and after graduate studies.

All application materials should be submitted by January 31 for the best chance of admission and financial aid. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

The master’s degree program can serve as an alternative for students who, for any number of reasons, do not proceed to the Ph.D. A committee appointed for each student, with the approval of the program chair, determines specific courses, communication skills, and research acceptable for satisfying M.S. degree requirements. Students must meet the M.S. degree requirements specified by the Graduate School in the Graduate Bulletin. In addition, specific genetics course requirements include 12 credits selected from a list of approved genetics courses, 3 credits in statistics, and 2 credits per year in genetics colloquium. A thesis is required of all candidates for the M.S. degree.

Candidates for the Ph.D. in Genetics must take at least 15 credits in courses approved by the Genetics Program, 3 credits in statistics, and 2 credits per year in Genetics Colloquium. The student's Ph.D. committee, appointed after a written and oral candidacy examination is passed, is responsible for the overall program of the student, and determines specific requirements for courses and research, and administers the comprehensive and final examinations. The requirement in communication and foreign language skills is the same as that of the thesis adviser’s department or program. All Ph.D. students are required to prepare and formally defend a thesis involving independent research.

Because the selection of the faculty adviser is one of the most important decisions that each student will make during their graduate career, we offer a rotation program to allow students to do three laboratory rotations with different faculty during the first semester. At the end of the first semester, students choose their doctoral adviser in consultation with the faculty adviser and chair of the Genetics program. Although most students accepted into the Genetics graduate program are admitted to the rotation program, some students may be admitted to receive training by a specific faculty member. All admissions must be approved by the IGDP Genetics Admissions Committee.

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, Genetics applicants are eligible for departmental teaching or research assistantships, and other assistantships supported by grant funds of individual faculty who make these award decisions.

Applicants with a grade-point average above 3.60 and superior GRE scores are encouraged to request fellowship applications from the Graduate School before January 31.

hied@psu.edu

The graduate program in Higher Education has as its goal the preparation of individuals who will pursue careers and exert leadership in postsecondary education as administrators, faculty, or researchers in the nation's colleges and universities and in a variety of public and private agencies and associations in the United States and other nations. With emphasis on the systematic study of higher education, the program builds on the scholarly and scientific disciplines offered throughout the University and applies these studies to the professional functions and responsibilities that its graduates will assume, and to the knowledge of the field of higher education. The program is concerned with four broad areas of higher education study and with three areas of special emphasis: academic programs and evaluation, organization and administration, and perspectives on higher education policy and practice.

With mounting awareness of the changes occurring in various academic and professional fields, of the need for higher education reform, and of the need for improved articulation among the various levels of education, higher education faculty cooperates with other departments of the University to offer a number of courses and seminars for graduate students interested in pursuing a minor in higher education.

Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), or from a comparable substitute examination accepted by the graduate program and authorized by the dean of the Graduate School, such as the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), are required for admission. At the discretion of a graduate program, 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.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Candidates may enter the program at the beginning of the fall or spring semester, or the summer session. To allow sufficient time for processing applications, required information must be received by January 1 for international applicants and those wishing to be considered for Graduate Fellowships, or February 1 for all other applicants. Those wishing consideration for the spring semester should submit materials by September 15. Applicants should contact the program office for additional application materials.

Joint Degree Program between The Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law (J.D.) and the Higher Education Program (M.Ed., D.Ed., Ph.D.)

Joint Degree Program. The Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law (DSL) and the Higher Education (HI ED) Program are offering a joint degree program leading to a Juris Doctor (J.D.); and a Master of Education (M.Ed), a Doctor of Education (D.Ed), or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). in Higher Education.

Admissions: In order to be admitted into the program students may (1) first be admitted to and enrolled in either HI ED or DSL and be subsequently admitted to the other program; or (2) be admitted to the joint degree program prior to commencing studies in either program. Each program will make a separate admission decision. Students admitted to both programs will be admitted as joint degree candidates. Applications for transfer into the joint degree program from another law school or education policy studies program at another university will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

HI ED: The following are required of all applicants: a completed application form to HI ED; submission of the results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Miller Analogy Test (MAT), or LSAT; an official undergraduate transcript or transcripts; a personal statement; employment records since high school; and four letters of recommendation.

586. Qualitative Research Methods (3)

HI ED 595 (9 credits optional based on previous experience in higher education administration)

Students pursuing the M.Ed. must satisfy the following requirements: (30 credits for degree)

DSL: A maximum of twelve credits for HI ED course work may be transferred for credit toward the J.D. degree at DSL. Students must obtain a grade satisfactory to DSL for the course work to be credited towards the J.D. degree. The following HI ED program may qualify for credit in DSL: (1) HI ED 545 (Higher Education in the United States); (2) HI ED 552 (Administration in Higher Education); (3) HI ED 560 (Legal Issues in Higher Education); (4)HI ED 546 (College Teaching) and (5) HI ED 587 (Education Policy and Politics).

Students who have first been admitted in the HI ED program and taken graduate courses pursuant to the HI ED program before enrolling in DSL may petition DSL to have such courses credited toward the J.D. degree. Student may make such petitions after they have been enrolled in DSL for at least one year. Petitions for crediting prior HI ED coursework will be evaluated on the basis of the students’ academic progress at DSL.

HI ED: What courses may be credited will be determined by the student’s degree program. Normally a maximum of twelve credits of DSL course work will be counted for credit for the minimum requirements for a master’s degree, subject to approval by the student’s advisory committee. Normally, a maximum of 30 credits from a master’s degree program will be counted for credit for the minimum requirements for a Ph.D. or D.Ed. degree.

Sequence: The sequence of courses will be determined by the students and their advisors.

Recommended Program of Study and Advising: All students in the program will have two advisors, one from DSL and one from HI ED. Periodic interaction between the two advisors will be encouraged. A program of study will be developed for each student, taking into account the fact that some courses at both locations are offered on a rotating or intermittent basis. Many courses are offered every year but some are offered every two or three years. Advisors will have available a list of projected relevant courses or educational experiences in order to work with the student on an individualized program of study. The standard committee structure will apply to the HI ED programs.

Tuition: Students will be charged the applicable DSL tuition to cover the J.D. program and the applicable graduate tuition to cover the HI ED degree program. DSL tuition will be paid for the semesters in which the student is registered for DSL courses, and graduate tuition will be paid for the semesters in which the student is registered for graduate courses. A student may take up to one course (3 credit hours) per semester in the program where the student is not primarily registered without any change in tuition, but must pay additional tuition to the program that the student is not primarily registered if he or she wishes to take additional course work pursuant to that program during the semester.

Financial Aid and Assistantships: Decisions on financial aid and assistantships will be made by each school according to that school’s procedures. Generally, assistantships and financial aid granted by HI ED will not apply to time spent at DSL.

Fulfillment of Degree Requirements and Graduation: All courses in one program that will count towards meeting the requirements of the other must be completed before the awarding of either degree. Students will be required to fulfill all requirements for each degree in order to be awarded that degree, subject to the interprogram transfer of credits. With respect to HI ED program requirements for a thesis or paper, work done while at DSL under the supervision of a DSL faculty member may be appropriate for incorporation into the thesis or paper with the approval of the HI ED degree program committee (in such cases, the committee should consider whether the credits afforded such work will be subject to the twelve credit maximum for interprogram transfers). A DSL faculty member must be a member of the committee).

If for some reason the student cannot complete the requirements of the J.D., the student will still be allowed to count DSL courses already taken toward the pertinent HI ED degree, even if he or she is no longer in the joint degree program.

35-07-437 Add. New Masters of Professional Studies in Human Resources and Employment Relations.

Masters of Professional Studies in Human Resources and Employment Relations (MPS HRER)

PAUL F. CLARK, Professor in charge
133 Willard Building
Telephone: 814-865-5425

The MPS in Human Resources and Employment Relations (HRER) is a 33 credit program of study for professionals working in human resources/employment relations or considering a career in some aspect of human resources and employment relations. The program will prepare students to:

Courses include the study of employment law, labor and employment relations, human resources, workplace organization, labor markets, ethics, and the employment relationship, recruiting/selection, compensation and benefits, workforce development, and diversity in the workplace.

The program will highlight the changing nature of the HRER field, including the impact of the globalization of private and public organizations and the growing importance of diversity in the workforce. It will culminate in a capstone class in which students will demonstrate their understanding of the curriculum and apply it to their professional areas of interest. Upon completion of the MPS HRER, students will be equipped to work as professionals in human resource management, employment relations, and general management with private employers, unions, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.

Students pursuing the MPS in HRER would be required to complete a concentration designed to provide the student an opportunity to develop expertise in a specific area of human resources and employment relations. The focused coursework should make the degree more relevant to potential students and add value to the degree from the student’s perspective.

Students will choose and complete one concentration which will include six credits beyond the 27 required credits. Double counting six required credits, including the Research Project, the concentration would be 12 credits of coursework in a particular area of HRER. Students will be required to complete the capstone project in their area of concentration. (For example, students choosing the Benefits and Compensation concentration would be required to complete a capstone project that focused on some aspect of benefits and compensation).

In order to enter the MPS in HRER, applicants must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.0. or above. Students who do not have a GPA of 3.0 will be considered on a case-by-case basis depending on the quality of their overall application. Applicants who are still completing their baccalaureate requirements at the time of application may be admitted to the Graduate School conditional on the awarding of the baccalaureate degree. Students are also expected to have a minimum of two years of full-time work experience prior to admission

Admissions decisions for the program are based on the quality of the applicant's credentials. The decisions are based on a review of the complete application portfolio. During the admission process, students who are better suited for another graduate level program will be encouraged to apply to the appropriate program. Applicants to the MPS HRER should submit the following materials:

TOEFL score, if applicable. A TOEFL score of 580 on the paper test, a score of 237 on the computer-based test, or 80 points on the new Internet-based test with a minimum of 23 points on the new speaking portion is required for admission.

A minimum composite score of 6.5 on the IELTS test is required for admission.

Most adult students will participate in the online program on a part-time basis because of full-time professional responsibilities. The typical student course load is expected to be one course or two courses each semester (fall, spring, and possibly summer). Below, we illustrate one course per semester program. The sequence of courses may change and additional courses may be scheduled per semester depending on enrollment and demand. Course development will focus on one area of concentration creating one path through the degree. Additional courses for other areas of concentration will be added as enrollments increase to support a broader curriculum.

The Graduate School requires all graduate students to maintain a 3.0 grade-point average.

Masters students must have a minimum of 30 credits and a 3.0 overall GPA. IBIOS 595 (Internship) and 596 (Rotations) credits all count toward the 30 credits. 18 credits need to be in the major at the 500-600 level. If pursuing a Masters thesis option, up to 6 IBIOS 600 credits may be A-F graded and 12 credits need to be in the major at the 400-500 level. The student selects a thesis committee (upon consultation with faculty advisor), writes a thesis, and defends his/her work. If all course credits and requirements are met, students do not have to be registered for classes while writing and/or defending his/her work. If pursuing a masters non-thesis option, 18 credits must be in 500-level courses; and the student must have a first authored manuscript (based on his/her research) that has been submitted to a peer reviewed journal. The manuscript is given to at least the faculty advisor and the IGDP Chair for evaluation.

Students must present their thesis in accordance with the Penn State guidelines as described in the THESIS GUIDE Requirements for the Preparation of Master's and Doctoral Theses. Current copies may be obtained from the following website: http://www.gradsch.psu.edu/current/thesis/guide.html.

Ph.D. students must have a minimum of 30 credits and a 3.0 overall GPA through out the program. IBIOS 595 (Internship) and 596 (Rotations) credits all count toward the 30 credits. 18 credits need to be in the major at the 500-600 level. Up to 6 IBIOS 600 credits may be A-F graded and 12 credits need to be in the major at the 400-500 level. Additional course work is left to the discretion of the student and advisor.

Grade Point Average/Unsatisfactory Scholarship: Students are required to have a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 through out the course of their training. Furthermore, the student must have a 3.0 to take the doctoral candidacy, the comprehensive and final oral examinations. One or more failing grades (F) or a cumulative grade-point average below 3.0 may be considered evidence of unsatisfactory scholarship and be grounds for dismissal from the program.

English Competence: A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is required to demonstrate high-level competence in the use of the English language, including reading, writing, and speaking, as part of the language and communication requirements for the Ph.D. This will be assessed for both domestic and international students as part of the candidacy exam, which includes a reading and original writing component. Should deficiencies be identified at the candidacy examination, students will be directed into appropriate remedial activities, including additional English and communication courses. Competence must be formally attested by the program before the doctoral comprehensive examination is scheduled. (International students should note that passage of the minimal TOEFL requirement does not demonstrate the level of competence expected of a Ph.D. from Penn State.)

Besides coursework, research, and teaching, IGDP in IID doctoral students participate in the following:

Candidacy Exam: This exam should be taken by the end or during the student's third semester in the IID Program. The student will be assigned two scientific papers from the primary literature to read and analyze for approximately one month. The papers will be selected based upon the students’ background and coursework. The analysis should involve exploring the relevant literature as well as the fundamental issues in immunology, infectious diseases, biochemistry, molecular biology and biology. Following this independent research the student will take a written exam to answer several questions related to the two papers followed by an oral exam a week later. The questions and oral exam will be administered by at least three members of the graduate program and include individuals from both UP and CoM. The overall goal of the exam is to assure that the student has an intellectual foundation in immunology and infectious diseases. The exam is designed to evaluate basic knowledge in immunology, infectious diseases, biochemistry, molecular biology and related disciplines as well as the students’ ability to integrate this understanding to effectively evaluate experimental design, results, and the conclusions drawn. In the event that the student does not pass this exam, the student's committee will make a recommendation as to whether to offer another opportunity or to terminate the student's enrollment in the program.

Doctoral Committee: Upon successful completion of the Candidacy Examination, the student in consultation with the mentors will, as soon as possible, select a doctoral committee. The committee will consist of both mentors, one additional member of the IGDP in IID and one faculty member who is not a member of the IGDP in IID. If the three IID members of the committee are also members of the same department, the fourth committee member must be from a different department. This committee is responsible for supervising the academic program and monitoring the progress of the student towards his/her degree. It is the charge of this committee to assure that the student carries out a substantial piece of independent research and presents it as a dissertation. Doctoral Thesis Committee Composition is based on the Graduate Degree Programs Bulletin published by the Graduate School (refer to http://www.psu.edu/bulletins/whitebook/$gradreqs.htm) regarding Doctoral Committees and requires:

• 2 members must be inside the major and 1 member must be outside the major. Note - the outside member must be member of the approved PSU Graduate Faculty. The outside member for intercollege graduate programs may be inside the major but committee membership must have representation from more than one department.

• A person not affiliated with PSU may be added as a special member (beyond the 4 members of the approved PSU Graduate Faculty) upon recommendation of the head of the program and approval of the graduate dean.

• Have committee chair or one of the co-chairs be a member of the approved PSU Graduate Faculty. Typically it's the faculty advisor.

• The doctoral candidate and three committee members must be physically present for the comprehensive exam and defense. No more than one person may be present via telephone. Telephone or video conference arrangements must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School.

• Need approval of 2/3 of the committee members for passing comprehensive exam and defense dissertation.

Comprehensive Examination: Evaluation via the Doctoral Committee to determine the feasibility of proposed research and the preparedness of the student. Students must be registered for classes (typically IBIOS 600) the semester they take this exam.

Integrated B.S. in Labor Studies and Employment Relations and M.S. in Human Resources and Employment Relations (LRHRER)

The integrated B.S. in Labor Studies and Employment Relations and M.S. in Human Resources and Employment Relations is a five-year program designed for academically talented baccalaureate students to obtain both the B.S. and the M.S. degrees in LER and HRER 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 HRER 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 program in Microbiology and Immunology emphasizes basic research consisting of the application of molecular, genetic, and biochemical approaches to problems of fundamental biological interest. The research activities of the department are focused on the study of the interactions of viruses with their host cells and organisms with emphasis on adenoviruses, hepatitis virus, herpesviruses, papillomaviruses, papovaviruses, and retroviruses. Individual research programs center on virus replication and cellular immune response in these processes. Viral systems are also utilized as models for the study of eukaryotic gene regulation, protein transport and processing, transmembrane and intracellular signal transduction, and the human immune response. In addition, active research programs are maintained in the areas of eukaryotic cellular differentiation and growth control, tumor cell biology and immunology, and the mapping of human immune response genes and genes associated with other human diseases.

A laboratory rotation program during the first academic year serves as an introduction to the different subdisciplines and investigators. This experience acquaints each student with four research groups leading to the choice of a permanent research adviser. A broad-based curriculum and stimulating series of seminars and literature reports complement the research training.

Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), or from a comparable substitute examination accepted by the Graduate Program Committee and authorized by the dean of the Graduate School, are required for admission. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School admission requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

Qualified students with undergraduate preparation in biological, biochemical, or physical sciences may apply. An adequate background in biology, general and organic chemistry, and mathematics and an overall grade-point average of 3.00 or better are required.

The best-qualified applicants will be accepted on a space-available basis. Formal applications should contain three letters of recommendation and a brief personal essay summarizing the background and professional goals of the applicant.

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.

The Intercollege Graduate Program in Molecular Medicine (IGDP in MM) prepares graduates for diverse opportunities in academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, private research foundations, governmental research and regulatory programs. The program includes faculty from 14 academic units in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Eberly College of Science at the University Park campus and the College of Medicine at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The IGDP in MM is also supported by the Huck Institutes of Life Sciences which provides modern telecommunications facilities and sophisticated equipment for state-of-the-art research applications. Doctoral students not only explore new conceptual connections, but also engage in active group learning experiences and explore a variety of potential career opportunities before graduation. Two unique aspects are (1) optional dual mentors will expose students to complementary viewpoints and encourage students to pursue problems at the interface between traditional disciplines, and (2) an optional internship will provide a mechanism for students to obtain practical experience in future professional settings.

1. Foundation of basic knowledge in cancer biology, toxicology, immunology, infectious diseases, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry. The IGDP in MM requires at least 9 credits in one or more of these disciplines. Students may request a waiver of a required if they have taken the specific course as an undergraduate or a similar course at another institution. The request will be made in writing to the campus curriculum committee after consultation with the co-chair. The following courses are to fulfill this requirement.

To augment the core sequences of courses, students and their research committees will formulate an individualized advanced curriculum. Additionally, opportunities to participate in an internship (IBIOS 595) or supervised college teaching experiences (IBIOS 602/VBS 602) are available. Interested graduate students are to discuss the opportunity with a MM IGDP Co-Chair and/or their faculty advisor.

IBIOS 595. INTERNSHIP (1 credit). For students interested in exploring academic, government, medical, law, or business corporate approaches to research. This is an external work assignment relevant to individual research or career goals. Interested graduate students are to discuss the opportunity with the IGDP in MM co-chair and/or their faculty advisor.

IBIOS 602/VBS 602. SUPERVISED EXPERIENCE IN COLLEGE TEACHING (1 credit). All students are strongly encouraged to enroll for 1 credit (or the equivalent) of Supervised Experience in College Teaching before the beginning of their third year. International fellows from non-English speaking countries must pass an English proficiency exam before any teaching duties are assigned.

Although the graduate program in Molecular Medicine generally gives admission to students who seek the Ph.D. degree, on occasion, the program may allow candidates to pursue the Master of Science (M.S.) degree. This degree can also serve as an alternative for students who do not proceed to the Ph.D. for any number of reasons. It should be noted that an M.S. degree is not required for entry into the Ph.D. program of the Molecular Medicine IGDP. Masters students must have a minimum of 30 credits and a 3.0 overall GPA. IBIOS 595 (Internship), 596 (Rotations), and 602 (Teaching) credits all count toward the 30 credits. 18 credits need to be in the major at the 500-600 level.

Graduate assistantships available in this program and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin. Under normal circumstances, all students admitted and continuing in good standing are provided with graduate assistantship support from University sources, research grants, or fellowships. Financial support is usually not provided for work toward a M.S. degree.

Graduate courses carry numbers from 500-599. 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.

In addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin, the School of Music requires the completion of a recognized baccalaureate degree in music or music education, with a junior/senior grade-point average of 2.80 or higher (on a 4.00 scale). Admission to the M.Mus. program requires an audition or the submission of compositions, or a list of works studied in preparation for conducting (depending on the specific degree); admission to the M.M.E. program requires the completion of 12–15 credits in music education methods at the undergraduate level and successful teaching or student teaching experience; admission to the Ph.D. requires an interview, submission of videotapes of teaching or conducting, scores from the Miller Analogies Test, and a portfolio of requested documents; admission to the M.A. program requires scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE General Test), and evidence of scholarly writing on a musical topic. Information on additional requirements for entrance to the various degree programs can be obtained from the School of Music office.

Three programs leading to the master of arts degree are offered. All three degrees require a research component. The M.A. in Music Theory and History (34 credits) provides an interdisciplinary approach to the field of music scholarship, whereas the M.A. in Musicology (32 credits) and the M.A. in Music Theory (32 credits) are more specialized in preparing students for doctoral study. All three programs require a thesis. A reading knowledge of German or another appropriate language must be demonstrated before thesis credit may be scheduled.

The master of music education degree provides opportunity for advanced study in the art of music, pedagogy, and systematic problem solving. In addition to the traditional academic year program, a “summers only” option is available. Fulfillment of degree requirements includes successful completion
of 30 credits of course work, a comprehensive examination, and a master’s paper. (Twenty credits must be earned at the University Park campus.)

The master of music degree (36 credits) provides five majors: Performance, Composition/Theory, Conducting, Piano Pedagogy and Performance, and Voice Performance and Pedagogy. The M.Mus. in Performance offers three separate curricula with areas of emphasis in Voice, Keyboard, or Orchestral Instruments. Depending on the area of emphasis, a recital, a composition project, or a conducting project is required. For the M.Mus. in Performance with emphasis in voice or keyboard, a master’s recital is required, in addition to either a master’s paper or lecture-recital. For the M.Mus. in Performance (orchestral instruments), a master’s recital is required. For the M.Mus. in Composition/Theory, a composition project and a master’s paper are required. The M.Mus. in Conducting offers three areas of emphasis: Orchestral, Choral, or Band/Wind Ensemble. A performance project and a master’s paper are required.

In all master’s programs, at least one-half the required credits must be at the 500 level, and a comprehensive examination is required.

The Ph.D. in Music Education is designed to provide opportunities for the highest level of scholarly study in the processes of teaching and learning music. Candidates are expected to develop and test new knowledge in the field of music education while preparing themselves for positions in higher education or other leadership roles within the profession. A candidacy exam, a doctoral thesis, and comprehensive written and oral examinations are required.

The School of Music sponsors many musical ensembles, and candidates for performance degrees are required to participate in positions of responsibility. All candidates for degrees are expected to be in residence for a minimum of two semesters; the “summers only” M.M.E. degree is the only exception.

The School of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

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.

Music: Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate Degrees

The School of Music offers six Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree programs--three that combine the B.A. in Music with the M.A. in Musicology, Music Theory, and Music Theory and History, and three that combine the B.M. in Performance with the M.A. in Musicology, Music Theory, and Music Theory and History. This enables a select number of students to further their research interests at the undergraduate and graduate levels. By the end of the five-year program students receive two degrees, a B.A. in Music and an M.A. in Musicology, Music Theory, or Music Theory and History, or a B.M. in Performance and an M.A. in Musicology, Music Theory, or Music Theory and History.

Candidates for these Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degrees must demonstrate a high level of aptitude and achievement in academic core courses and be highly motivated to pursue research projects with faculty.

Modeled after a similar program in the Schreyer Honors College, this IUG program enables gifted music students to double count credits in two degree programs. As a result they will have developed a research focus during their fourth and fifth years, which will help them prepare for entry into doctoral programs at other institutions.
For further information about the six Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree programs, including application procedures and degree requirements, see the School of Music Web site and click on the "Prospective Students" link.

*Admission by audition.
**Course may be scheduled only after consultation with the director of the School of Music.

The Neuroscience graduate program is an interdepartmental program within the College of Medicine. The goal of the program is to provide academic and research training leading to the Ph.D. or M.S. degree in Neuroscience. Graduates are prepared for future careers in academic research, teaching, industry or government service. Doctoral students are expected to graduate with the following competencies: (1) the conceptual and technical skills necessary to conduct a research project in an area of neuroscience; (2) a broad general knowledge of neuroscience and detailed knowledge of one or more specialized areas; (3) the ability to appraise scientific evidence; (4) effective oral and written communication skills; (5) a commitment to professional responsibilities and adherence to ethical principles; and (6) an understanding of the external structures that govern biomedical research and the career pathways available to graduates. These competencies are delivered and/or assessed through formal course work (required and elective courses), candidacy and comprehensive examinations, mentored laboratory research, public presentations, publication of research papers, and defense of a written dissertation.

Although the program focuses on doctoral education; the M.S. degree in Neuroscience can be granted to students who request it. Master’s students are expected to complete the same course requirements as doctoral students and to write a research thesis.

Prospective applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in a biological, physical, or behavioral science and are expected to have taken courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Candidates are expected to have a 3.0 (B) grade-point average or better. Neuroscience courses are desirable but not essential and research experience is an advantage. The General Test of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), or a comparable substitute examination accepted by a graduate program and authorized by the dean of the graduate school, is required for all applicants. Foreign applicants whose native language is not English must provide evidence of proficiency in English with a minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 550 on the paper test or 213 on the computer-based test.

A complete application should include: completed application form with personal statement of purpose; GRE scores; undergraduate transcripts; three letters of recommendation; and TOEFL scores (if applicable).
The application deadline is February 1 for admission in the following fall.

Qualified applicants generally will be requested to visit Hershey for an interview. Admission is based on evaluation of the undergraduate transcript, GRE scores, personal statement of purpose, letters of recommendation and performance on interview.

Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience
During the first year of study, Ph.D. candidates in neurosciences receive a broad education in the breadth of neuroscience through three core neuroscience courses covering cellular and molecular neuroscience (which includes developmental neuroscience and neuropharmacology), systems neuroscience, and neuroanatomy. Students must also demonstrate competency in biostatistics. This requirement is satisfied by passing the course HES 515 or another similar course with the approval of the program director. This requirement may be waived with the approval of the program director for students who can demonstrate prior course work in biostatistics. In addition, 3 credits of elective courses offered at Penn State; course selection for this elective is with the approval of the program director.

The Language and Communication Requirement is satisfied by a grade of at least 3.0 in NEURO 530.
A research thesis and thesis defense are required.

M.S. Degree in Neuroscience
Core or Required Courses: NEURO 511, 520, 521, 522, 523, 530, 597; CMBIO 540; IBIOS 591.

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. Two options are offered within the major of Nursing: Clinical Nurse Specialist with an intensive role specialty concentration (at least 6 credite of course work related to the area of specialization) or a graduate minor in another program and Nurse Practitioner with specializations in Family or Adult populations. 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 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 a variety of health 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 Nurse Practitioner may also function in supervisory, consultative, education, and research roles.

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, education, and research roles serving individuals, families, and communities.

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 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.

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 at 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 or IELTS 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.

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:

The graduate studies program in Pharmacology is designed to give qualified students a combination of didactic instruction, informal direction, and laboratory experience that will enable them to obtain a firm foundation in the principles, methods, and contributions of pharmacology (defined broadly as the science of the multiple aspects of the interaction of chemical agents with biological systems). With this preparation, graduates of the program should be capable of designing and executing high-quality independent research, and of assuming positions of responsibility within the pharmacologic community.

The department offers studies in the general areas of drug metabolism, molecular pharmacology, endocrine pharmacology, neuropharmacology, cardiovascular-renal pharmacology, and clinical pharmacology. Primary emphasis is placed on the molecular mechanism by which drugs act in the body and by which the body transforms drugs. The department also offers a concurrent degree program resulting in a combined M.B.A./Ph.D. Consult department for details.

Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for admission. At the discretion of the graduate program, a student may be admitted provisionally for graduate study without these scores. Requirements listed here are in addition to general Graduate School requirements stated in the GENERAL INFORMATION section of the Graduate Bulletin.

A bachelor's degree reflecting a reasonable background in zoology or biology, mathematics, and chemistry is required. Reading knowledge of one or two foreign languages is recommended. Students with a minimum junior/senior grade-point average of 3.00 and with appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission. Two letters of recommendation, a curriculum vitae, and a description of career goals are required. Students are not usually accepted into the graduate program unless they are preparing for the doctoral degree.

A minimum of 30 credits as specified by the Graduate School are required. Candidates must submit a thesis based on original laboratory observations. A specified core curriculum includes the following courses: BCHEM 502; NEURO 520; CMBIO 540; PHARM 501, PHARM 502, PHARM 503, PHARM 504, PHARM 590; IBIOS 597. Candidates must defend their theses to the satisfaction of the graduate faculty (two-thirds favorable vote).

During the first two years of study Ph.D. candidates take The College of Medicine Core Curriculum (BMS 501 Regulation of Cellular and Systemic Energy Metabolism, BMS 502 Cell and Systems Biology, and BMS 503 Flow of Cellular Information) in the Fall semester to provide a strong foundation. Additional courses in general pharmacology, molecular pharmacology and principles of drug action are required including IBIOS 591, PHARM 502, PHARM 503, PHARM 504, PHARM 520, PHARM 581, PHARM 582, PHARM 583, PHARM 590, and PHARM 597. Students will demonstrate skills in one of the following areas of communications: computer language, biostatistics; the department also requires competency in written and oral English.

Candidates for the combined M.D./Ph.D. programs must apply to and be accepted by the medical school before they can be considered for the combined program.

Candidates for the M.B.A./Ph.D. program must first apply and be accepted by the doctoral program before being considered for the M.B.A.

Each new graduate student is assigned an adviser pro team who will serve as a general counselor. Master's candidates have three months from initial registration to form an agreement with a member of the graduate faculty who will supervise their laboratory work. Doctoral candidates can take as much as a year to form this agreement.

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.
