PROFESSOR ROBERT D. SHANNON, Program Coordinator
Environmental Resource Management (E R M) is an interdisciplinary, science-based major designed to prepare students to understand and critically analyze environmental problems ranging from local to global in scale, identify solutions, and communicate ideas related to environmental and natural resource issues. The E R M major also focuses on human interactions with the environment by emphasizing the management of environmental resources. The E R M curriculum begins with foundation course work in the biological, physical and social sciences. Later courses apply these principles to the management and sustainability of the environment, and include environmental problem-solving, ecosystem management and environmental law. The third tier, offered through three options, affords considerable flexibility and the opportunity to specialize.
The major prepares students for employment in a variety of environmental positions, including environmental consulting, public agencies, and non profit organizations. Students are also prepared for graduate school or law school upon graduation. Realizing the wide range of career possibilities requiring diverse types of academic preparation, three options of study are available: the Environmental Science Option, the Soil Science Option and the Water Science Option.
In the Environmental Science Option, students select a minor or choose a group of courses (totaling at least 18 credits) that focus on a particular aspect of the environment. Examples include watersheds and water resources, climate change impacts, geographic information systems, energy and air pollution, ecology, environmental engineering, wildlife and fisheries science, and others. Courses and minors from across the University can be selected to develop a student's area of specialization in the Environmental Sciences Option.
In the Soil Science Option, students take courses in soil composition and properties, conservation, nutrient management, soil ecology, GIS and mapping. This option also allows the student to choose courses that support their strengths and interests. The option prepares students for positions with private, public, and non-profit firms that evaluate soils for various uses, delineate wetlands, perform environmental assessments, and identify and remediate contaminated soils.
In the Water Science Option, students take courses in hydrologic measurements, wetland conservation, stream restoration, stream and lake ecology, watershed management, and land use practices to control runoff and erosion. The option also prepares students for positions with private, public, and non-profit firms that evaluate water quality and quantity issues, delineate wetlands, perform environmental and hydrological assessments, and identify and remediate contaminated aquatic resources.
For the B.S. degree in Environmental Resource Management, a minimum of 120 credits is required.

This major offers two options: Art Education for Schools, and Art Education for Museums and Cultural Institutions. The purpose of the program is to prepare knowledgeable, skilled, and caring professional educators to become critical, reflective practitioners, researchers and artists, and agents of change for social justice in diverse contexts of educational practice; generate and disseminate knowledge that leads to new pedagogical understandings on which more effective policies and practices can be grounded; and collaborate across disciplines, professions, and constituencies to promote social change that leads to educational improvement and transformation. An integral part of each option involves a variety of observational and participatory experiences in art learning environments, and an extensive pre-practice internship. Upon completion of the option, employment prospects and/or acceptance for advanced graduate studies depends upon individual achievement and qualifications. (See also Teacher Education Programs.)
All candidates seeking entrance to Art Education for Schools option must meet the following entrance to major criteria:
1. Minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA and at least 48 credits completed (at the time of application).

PROFESSOR SARMA V. PISUPATI, Undergraduate Program Officer
The undergraduate program in energy engineering is designed to reflect the growing impact and demand for energy in society and to equip students with the knowledge necessary to achieve the following career and professional accomplishments or program educational objectives: become valuable contributors in addressing society's energy needs and demands; successful leaders in advancing the technology and management of energy; innovators and entrepreneurs in the energy sector; and educators, practicing engineers, and national leaders on energy and associated environmental, health and safety, and policy and economics issues. The program integrates skill sets in the physical sciences (chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics) and social sciences (economics, policy, and management) to ensure successful career opportunities and growth within energy-related industries, government agencies, and academia.
The courses are structured to enable students to understand engineering fundamentals and apply the knowledge to solve problems in the production, processing, storage, distribution, and utilization of energy using multiple techniques as synthesis, analysis, design and case studies. Inquiry-based teaching methods and lab experiences are emphasized. The faculty research and scholarly activities are integrated into the curriculum. The program is designed to train students to be lifelong learners, problem solvers, and energy industry leaders. The educational opportunities are sufficiently flexible, broad, and diverse to enable students to tailor their educational experience to particular interests, background, and expected role in society. Flexibility in the curriculum allows other students in energy related programs such as agricultural and biological, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical, mining, nuclear, and petroleum engineering, materials science and engineering, industrial health and safety, and energy business and finance to have dual or concurrent degrees, minors, or options (e.g., energy and fuels engineering option in chemical engineering).
The integration of knowledge and skills acquired should enable graduates of the program to accomplish the following program educational outcomes:
- Solve energy and associated environmental problems using the fundamental knowledge in basic mathematical, chemical, physical, and social sciences learned.
- Design and conduct experiments, acquire data, and define, analyze, and interpret data, and solve practical, complex, energy engineering problems.
- Integrate professional, ethical, social, and environmental factors in energy engineering design and problem solving and understand the impact of these factors on global energy issues.
- Develop the ability to communicate effectively in writing and orally and build teamwork.
- Acquire the desire for lifelong learning to maintain technical competence and keep abreast of new developments in the field.
For the B.S. in Energy Engineering, a minimum of 131 credits is required.

PROFESSOR M. THADDEUS ITYOKUMBUL, Undergraduate Program Officer
The B.S. program in Environmental Systems Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone: 410-347-7700. It is an interdisciplinary program with two options. One option is Environmental Systems Engineering and it is concerned with the impact of industrial activities on the environment and the choice of cost-effective remediation strategies. The other option is Environmental Health and Safety Engineering and it is concerned with safe and healthful design of industrial systems such that workers are protected from potentially high risk exposures associated with today's industries. The program is unique as it is designed to address critical environmental, safety and health problems of the basic industries such as those involved in the extraction, conversion, and utilization of energy and mineral resources. The courses are sequenced so that students acquire an appropriate blend of theory, applications, and design and are equipped with the fundamentals necessary to maintain lifelong professional growth. Graduates are prepared to enter both the private and public sectors as environmental systems engineers or health and safety engineers or to pursue further education at the graduate level.
During the first two years, the program shares many common features (e.g., mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering mechanics) with other more traditional engineering disciplines. Students then take a series of special courses that introduce engineering concepts in the extractive and process industries. Process engineering and a variety of solid-solid, solid-fluid, and fluid-fluid separations play a major and often dominant role in the prevention and/or remediation of environmental damage or the prevention of health and safety hazards resulting from industrial activity. Students then specialize in the particular problems associated with air, land, or water, environmental health and safety engineering or select a hybrid program. Specialization is accomplished through a combination of additional designated courses and selection from an extensive list of relevant elective courses, which may include a senior thesis. The curriculum is structured so as to integrate design concepts into the various subject areas covered in the program.
The human, societal, economic, ethical, and regulatory aspects of the industrial impact on the environment and on the workers themselves are addressed through a combination of specific courses and components of other more general courses. This aspect of the program is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding, both of the impact of environmental degradation on society and of the effects on industrial activity of society's demands for protection of workers and the environment. The program culminates with the capstone design course, which is an integrated, problem-based, multi-faceted project in which students, working in a team setting, utilize fundamental concepts to design an environmental remediation system or an environmental health and safety protection system (or incorporate these design requirements into other associated designs).
The integration of knowledge and skills acquired during the course of study enables graduates of Penn State's Environmental Systems Engineering program to:

Biotechnology may be broadly defined as the application of principles of molecular and cell science in the production of biologically important or industrially useful products. Therefore, students in the Biotechnology major will (1) acquire a strong foundation in the life and chemical sciences, (2) learn how fundamental science is applied to problems through biotechnology, (3) develop basic laboratory skills, perform standard techniques, work with state-of-the-art instrumentation, describe and evaluate analytical methodology used in biotechnology, and (4) become familiar with societal concerns and governmental regulations regarding the biotechnology industry. One very important strength of this major is the extensive laboratory experience each student receives. In the General option, students are very strongly encouraged to consider Cooperative Education with industry as an integral part of their curriculum. In addition to the General option in Biotechnology, the major also offers the Clinical Laboratory Science option.
In order to be eligible for entrance to the Biotechnology major, a student must have: (1) attained at least a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average, and (2) completed CHEM 110 GN(3), CHEM 111 GN(1), CHEM 112 GN(3), and MATH 140 GQ(4) and earned a grade of C or better in each of these courses.

The Master of Architecture program emphasizes three areas central to the school: Community and Urban Design (CUD), Digital Design (DD), and Culture, Society and Space (CSS). The program allows opportunities for graduate students to assist in undergraduate courses and work with the two endowed centers: the Hamer Center for Community Design Assistance and the Stuckeman Center for Design Computing. In addition, selected graduate students can also participate in the department's Rome program for undergraduates. The Master of Architecture is a post-professional degree. Post-professional degrees do not qualify the recipient for professional licensure in the United States. The program is intended for students already holding professional degrees in architecture, and in exceptional cases, for students with nonprofessional architectural degrees who seek to develop a better understanding of architecture. The Master of Architecture program is specially designed for students interested in advanced studies in Community and Urban Design, Digital Design and Culture, Society and Space. It is expected that such students will have previously studied the technical and professional aspects of architectural practice and are primarily interested in strengthening the intellectual underpinnings of their work through intensive studio investigations, design applications, and rigorous theoretical inquiry.
The Ph.D. in Architecture is a research-based degree supporting a number of areas of research inquiry. The program's distinguishing quality is its broad-based research core, grounded in contemporary critical theory and methods. Faculty include Penn State scholars with an expertise in architectural theory, the design process, digital design, digital fabrication, building construction and technology, cultural and environmental behavior, housing, urban design, and sustainability. Visiting scholars further enhance the program and course offerings. The program allows opportunities for graduate students to assist in undergraduate courses and work with the research centers of the department. It is expected that students will have previously studied the technical and professional aspects of architectural practice and are primarily interested in strengthening the intellectual underpinnings of their work through intensive investigation, design applications, and rigorous theoretical inquiry.
M.Arch degree applicants should have a five-year professional degree in architecture. This M.Arch. program culminates in a post-professional degree for students with a five-year professional degree that is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) or its equivalent. Any exceptions must have the approval of the department head. International applicants with a five-year degree in architecture are considered equivalent to a graduate from a five-year NAAB-accredited program for admission purposes. In exceptional cases, the M.Arch. program may serve students with a four-year architecture degree or other degrees who seek to develop a better understanding of the principles and theory that underlie the profession of architecture. It is understood that such students are interested in the academic path and eventually intend to pursue the Ph.D. degree. These students would be required to take remedial undergraduate or graduate courses and may have to significantly extend the duration of their study.
In addition to the application to the University for admission to the Graduate School, all applicants for the M.Arch degree must submit the following to the Department of Architecture.
A statement of intent should be primarily a description of the applicant's professional goals, desired option and subjects of study, and the area(s) of anticipated architectural inquiry. A portfolio of creative and design work (architecture and planning projects) executed at the undergraduate level or under professional guidance or independently, provided that such work can be evidenced as executed by the applicant, is an important part of the graduate application. A minimum portfolio representation of one project for each year of academic undergraduate study, or its equivalent, is required. The applicant is encouraged to include other evidence of academic excellence, such as awards, design and scholarly achievements, and other recognitions. A complete set of official transcripts is required for all applications. A minimum of three statements of recommendation from faculty members acquainted with the applicant's academic history and/or recommendations by an undergraduate review committee should accompany the application.
Scores from the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are required for admission for all applicants. A minimum grade-point average of 3.00 is required for admission.
To be admitted into the Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture degree program, an applicant must have received a professional degree in architecture from an accredited institution and a Masters degree in architecture or related field. Outstanding candidates who do not hold a professional architecture degree but who satisfy all other entrance to major requirements may be admitted by the PH.D. program director with the concurrence of the Department Head. Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) will be required for admission. An overall minimum grade-point average of 3.20 for graduate and undergraduate degrees is required for admission. In addition to the application to the University for admission to the Graduate School, all applicants must submit the following to the Department of Architecture: 1)an official transcript from all institution of higher education attended, both undergraduate and graduate, 2) official diploma/certificates for each degree obtained, 3) three letters of recommendation, 4) a statement of intent, and 50 a CV.
The best-qualified applicants will be accepted up to the number of spaces that are available for new students. Exceptions to the minimum 3.20 grade-point average may be made for student with special backgrounds, abilities, and interests.
The language of instruction at Penn State is English. International applicants for all degrees must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), with the exceptions noted below. The minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL is 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test, or a total score of 80 with a 19 on the speaking section for the Internet-based test (iBT). Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisional admission, which requires an institutional test of English proficiency upon first enrollment and, if necessary, remedial course work. The minimum composite score for the IELTS is 6.5. Specific graduate programs may have more stringent requirements. International applicants are exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS requirement who have received a baccalaureate or a master's degree from a college/university/institution in any of the following: Australia, Belize, British Caribbean and British West Indies, Canada (except Quebec) England, Guyana, Republic of Ireland, Liberia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the United States, and Wales.
The capstone of the M.Arch. Program is a Master's Thesis or Thesis [Design] Project, which requires the student to identify and formulate an area of inquiry within which he or she will be expected to do original research and to complete a project or a written thesis that tests the theoretical ideas. The Master of Architecture is a 30-credit program that requires 24 credits of course work and 6 credits of thesis or thesis project. At least 18 credits must be at the 500 or 600 levels, and at least 20 credits must be taken in residence at University Park. The core courses consist of a total of 12 credits.
A graduate student may be able to complete the requirements for the M.Arch. degree in one year. Those students who are awarded an assistantship will require more than two semesters to complete the requirements for the M.Arch. degree. Directed Electives include courses related to one of the three options from other disciplines, such as Landscape Architecture, Geography, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology, and Computer Science, as well as within the Department of Architecture. Architectural Research (Arch 591) is specifically designed for each of the three options and counts toward the 12 credits necessary to satisfy the option within the major. The thesis requirement can be fulfilled in two ways: through a written thesis, which conforms to the scholarly standards of the Graduate School or through a design project that tests theoretical ideas. A written monograph will accompany all thesis design projects.
The capstone of the Ph.D. program is a dissertation, which requires the student to identify and formulate an area of inquiry within which he or she will be expected to conduct high-quality original scholarly research. Each student accepted into the Ph.D. degree program must pass the Ph.D. Candidacy Examination, which requires students to display an understanding of basic material in all areas, along with an in-depth understanding of material covered in courses within their area of focus. This examination must be passed within three semesters, not counting summer session, of entry into the doctoral program. The student's program of courses is developed in cooperation with the student's Ph.D. committee. It is recommended that this consist of approximately 30 credits of courses beyond the master's degree. At the conclusion of the student's course work, the Ph.D. student must take a written comprehensive examination that is developed by the student's Ph.D. committee. Following the comprehensive exam, continuous registration is required for all Ph.D. graduate students until the dissertation is approved. Each student presents a comprehensive thesis proposal to his/her committee prior to starting his/her dissertation research and must present the results of this research in a final oral examination.
The Department of Architecture offers a limited number of academically superior students enrolled in the fourth year of the Bachelor of Architecture degree program the opportunity to enroll in an integrated program leading to both the B.Arch. and the Master of Architecture degrees. The program permits the student to integrate the fifth year of study for the professional B.Arch. degree with the program of study for the M.Arch. degree into a continuous program of study culminating in the award of both degrees. The ability to coordinate as well as concurrently pursue the two degree programs enables the student to achieve greater depth and comprehensiveness than if the degrees are pursued sequentially and to earn the two degrees in a shorter period of time. In particular, the program encourages the student to integrate the undergraduate thesis design project with the master's thesis, thereby achieving a greater depth of inquiry.
The number of openings to this special program is limited; admission is by invitation of the faculty and is extremely selective.
Applicants to the integrated program must be enrolled in the fourth year of a B.Arch. program or otherwise qualified to apply for admission to the fifth year of the B.Arch. program at Penn State. To be admitted, applicants must be able to meet the following requirements:
In addition to the normal application requirements for the M.Arch. degree, the student applicant shall provide a Plan of Study of not more than 1,500 words.
The best-qualified students will be accepted up to the number of spaces available for new students. Acceptance to the program prior to the completion of all required course work is provisional, contingent upon meeting the above requirements.
Students must complete the requirements for both the B.Arch. and M.Arch. degrees except that not more than 12 credits earned in either degree program may be used to the meet the requirements of both degrees. Therefore, a minimum total of 48 credits are required to complete the Integrated B.Arch.-M.Arch. Program and earn both degrees. The student must maintain not less than a 3.2 overall GPA and shall achieve not less than a B grade in each required course.
Graduate assistantships and other forms of student aid are described in the STUDENT AID section of the Graduate Bulletin. All applicants who are accepted are considered for departmental financial aid.
Graduate courses carry numbers from 500 to 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.
