27-03-001 Drop major:
Proposed effective date: Summer Session 1999
Agronomy (AGRO)Agronomists are concerned with the principles and practices of field crop production and the conservation of soils and land resources. They must develop, communicate, and apply technical information about plants, soils, and agricultural production practices for food, feed, and fibert crops. Areas of emphasis include crop production and protection, plant breeding, forage management, soil conservation and fertility. Education in this major emphasizes the principles of plant and soil management and the basic sciences upon which these principles are based.
Graduates in agronomy have a wide choice of careers. Some who have the opportunity may return to the farm and become producers of farm products. Over 90 percent get jobs in services to the agricultural industry as farm managers, farm chemical and fertilizer store managers, sales representatives, field and laboratory technicians, crop management consultants, extension agents, soil and water conservationists and inspectors for various state and federal regulatory agencies.
Those students who anticipate enrollment in graduate school should elect the Agronomic Science option while those preparing to enter the profession with a B.S. degree should select the Professional Agronomy option. Business management skills can be developed by appropriate course selection in the Professional Agronomy option.
For the B.S. degree in Agronomy, a minimum of 128 credits is required.
AGRONOMY MINOR: Agronomy is concerned with the principles and practices of field crop production and the conservation of soils and land resources. Areas of emphasis include crop production and protection, plant breeding, forage management, nutrient management, and soil conservation and fertility. Education in this minor emphasizes the principles of plant and soil management and the basic sciences upon which these principles are grounded. A minor in agronomy can complement several majors, and will enhance career opportunities in farm management and the agricultural industry. Employment possibilities include farm chemical and fertilizer store managers, sales, representatives, field and laboratory technicians, crop management consultants, extension agents, soil and water conservationists, and inspectors for various state and federal regulatory agencies. Students must take AGRO 028(3), SOILS 101(3); select 6 credits from AGRO 423(3), 425(3), 438A(5), or SOILS 402(3); select 6 credits from courses in Entomology, Plant Pathology, or AGRO 495(1-5), for a total of 18 credits.

Proposed effective date: Spring Semester 1999
Accounting (ACCTG)This major helps prepare students for careers in public, industrial, or governmental accounting and also provides an appropriate background for those planning to enter law school or graduate school. Public accounting is carried on by independent practitioners, most of whom are certified public accountants. In addition to independent audits, CPAs render accounting, tax, and management advisory services. The credit requirements to sit for the CPA examination in Pennsylvania and many other states are automatically met by completing the prescribed curriculum. However, there are exceptions, including New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Texas. For more detailed information, see brochures in the department office.
The industrial accountant, as an executive in a business firm, is in charge of designing and supervising the financial and managerial accounting system, including the preparation and analysis of reports. Many are now taking the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam. It is a two-day exam covering economics, finance, management, decision analysis, information systems, and accounting. Governmental accountants occupy positions in federal, state, and local government and perform services similar to those of public or industrial accountants.
For the B.S. degree in Accounting, a minimum of 128 credits is required.

Communication Disorders (CMDIS)This major offers a comprehensive program of study for preparing students who want to become speech-language pathologists or audiologists. The curriculum is specifically designed for the sole purpose of preparing undergraduate students for graduate study in communication disorders or related areas. This occurs because state licensure laws and professional certifications require that a speech-language pathologist or audiologist must have a master's degree, pass a national test, and complete a clinical fellowship year.
Overall, the curriculum enables students to develop fundamental knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for habilitating and rehabilitating persons of all ages with a wide range of speech, language, and hearing problems. Further, the curriculum allows students an opportunity to explore all aspects of communication disorders as well as elect courses of special interest.
The first two years of study emphasize general education and background study. The last two years of study emphasize normal and disordered aspects of speech, language, and hearing as well as professional management, concerns, and obligations. Clinical observation and diversity focused course work are included in the curriculum.
For the B.S. degree in Communication Disorders, a minimum of 122 credits is required. (To satisfy graduation requirements, students must have completed 6 credits from courses offered in the college and outside the department in which the major is offered.)

English (ENGL)Majors explore the imaginative and practical uses of English through courses in literature, writing, rhetoric, and language. They develop perspectives on human nature and cultural values through American, British, and other English literatures; they learn how to gather, analyze, synthesize, and communicate information; they gain mastery over their language. These skills help English majors find careers in such fields as publishing, business, industry, government, and teaching. English majors often go on to postgraduate study not only in English but in such areas as law, business, education, and other liberal disciplines.
Majors can emphasize writing, literature, or rhetoric, or a mix of literature, writing, and rhetoric. All provide a liberal education and all develop analytic and writing skills. Qualified students may participate in the career internship and in the English honors program.
Students interested in earning certification in secondary education should contact the College of Education, Department of Curriculum and Instruction. (See also Teacher Education Programs.)

APPENDIX A
UNDERGRADUATE
Eberly College of Science
27-03-123 Add new Neuroscience option:
Proposed effective date: Summer Session 1999
Biology (BIOL)The curriculum in Biology is planned for preparation for professions requiring competence in biological science or for gaining an understanding of the world of living things. The professional group includes students who intend to secure advanced degrees through graduate study, students who are interested in work with various governmental agencies or industries having biological responsibilities, and students who want to prepare for careers in medicine or other health-related professions. Students whose interests are not professional select the curriculum because its broad approach can result in an educated view of the structure and function of living things. Achievement of these goals, including a special interest in a particular area of biology, can be met by selecting one of five options offered by the Department of Biology that will lead to the B.S. degree in Biology. The options and their key areas are Plant Biology--morphology, systematics, and physiology of plants and fungi; Ecology--behavior, and population and community biology of plants and animals; General Biology--all aspects of modern biology; Genetics and Developmental Biology--genetics, genetic engineering, and plant and animal development; Neuroscience; Vertebrate Physiology--premedicine, predentistry, pharmacology, and animal physiology.
The option in Neuroscience will provide biology majors interested in careers in professional science and medicine with sufficient background to begin advanced training in this discipline. Individuals with interests in technical and health-related careers will become familiar with the fundamental knowledge necessary to interpret current information at the forefront of neuroscience researh.
For the B.S. degree in Biology, a minimum of 124 credits is required.
