PROFESSOR JOHN P. VANDEN HEUVEL, Program Coordinator
Toxicology addresses adverse effects of chemicals on animals and humans and includes exposure assessment, hazard identification, dose-response analysis, and risk characterization. This discipline relies on cutting-edge biotechnological approaches to gain insight into drug and toxicant action at the molecular level. Students enrolled in the Toxicology program will develop an understanding of the principles by which chemicals affect the health of humans and animals either adversely, as toxic agents, or beneficially, as therapeutic agents. Students will learn about: 1) mechanisms of action of drugs and toxicants on organ systems of the body; 2) general principles for assessing the safety of chemicals and therapeutic efficacy of drugs; and 3) state-of-the-art molecular, biological, and genetic approaches to understanding drugs, toxicants, and disease through a combination of laboratory and lecture experiences. The B.S. degree in Toxicology provides a strong foundation for graduate work leading to a Ph.D. in most biomedical fields. Students may choose to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology, Toxicology, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pathobiology, Oncology, or Molecular Biology. Alternatively, students prepare for employment as research technicians, drug/toxicant specialists, or pharmaceutical sales representatives.
For the B.S. degree in Toxicology, a minimum of 124 credits is required.

The accounting minor requires students to complete 16 additional credits in accounting beyond the 4 credits required in ACCTG 211. It is designed to introduce students to advanced topics in financial and cost accounting, as well to the basics of income tax accounting for individuals. This minor can provide an enhanced understanding of accounting information flows, costing systems, and the general tax environment to students majoring in other business areas, and it is a particularly good compliment to the finance and management information systems majors. On its own, it will not generally enable students to meet the requirements for professional licensing in accounting. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR BETTY FORTNER, Elementary Education Coordinator, School of Behavioral Sciences and Education
The Elementary Education program is characterized by its humanistic approach to teaching. The program offers extensive field experiences in the junior and senior years prior to student teaching and emphasizes the problems of urban teachers. An objective of the program is the development of self-awareness and independence in students, which can free them from the typical dependent relationships with instructors. Thus, a student is expected to exhibit initiative and self-direction toward professional goals and demonstrate professional behavior in contacts with school personnel.
Prior to the full-time student teaching experience in the senior year, students are expected to complete all other courses required for certification, including two part-time placements. On-campus courses are scheduled three or four days a week, while field experiences in nearby schools are scheduled part-time, three or four days per week.
For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education, a minimum of 127 credits is required.
For a B. ELED degree in Elementary Education with Early Childhood Education Certification, a minimum of 136 credits is required.
Admission Requirements:
Applicants should have completed most of their first two years of college as
well as the Entry to Major Requirements listed above with at least a 3.0 cumulative
GPA (4.0 scale). The evaluation of prior college work is done on an individual
basis by the Office of Enrollment Services at Penn State Harrisburg.
Entry to Major Requirements:
Entry to the Elementary Education major or the Elementary Education major with
Early Childhood Certification requires the completion of 57 or more credits
in required courses and the state's minimum cumulative GPA criteria of 3.0.
Students must complete, with a grade of "C" or better, six (6) credits
of college-level mathematics (MATH or STAT prefix), three (3) credits of college-level
English literature and three (3) credits of college-level English composition.
Students thinking seriously about education should plan their freshman and sophomore
years carefully. Semesters 5 through 8 are very structured. (See also Teacher
Education Programs.)
Selective Retention:
Prior to the end of the first semester as an Elementary Education major
at Penn State Harrisburg, students will be required to submit their scores for
the Praxis I examinations in reading, writing, and mathematics. Retention in
the major is contingent on the student's maintaining a cumulative GPA of
3.0 or higher, demonstrating proficiency in written and spoken communications,
receiving the recommendation of the faculty, and fulfilling all core course
requirements.

The following teaching options are available for majors in World Languages Education: Bilingual Education, English as a Second Language, French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. Pennsylvania does not issue a teacher certificate in Bilingual Education; many other states do. Completers of the English as a Second Language (ESL) option may qualify for the Pennsylvania Program Specialist: ESL credential if they hold a Pennsylvania teacher certificate.
For the B.S. degree in World Languages Education with a dual certification option in Bilingual Education Teaching, a minimum of 135 credits is required; with an option in English as a Second Language (ESL) Teaching, a minimum of 132 credits is required, i.e., a minimum of 120 credits for the companion World Languages Education Teaching option selected, plus 12 credits to meet eligibility for the Program Specialist: ESL credential; with an option in French Teaching, a minimum of 124 credits is required; with an option in German Teaching, a minimum of 121 credits is required; with an option in Latin Teaching, a minimum of 120 credits is required; with an option in Russian Teaching, a minimum of 122 credits is required; with an option in Spanish Teaching, a minimum of 126 credits is required. (See also Teacher Education Programs.)
BILINGUAL EDUCATION TEACHING OPTION: Although Pennsylvania does not issue a teacher certificate in Bilingual Education, other states do. Thus, completion of this option as well as any tests or requirements stipulated by the pertinent state department of education (other than Pennsylvania) should lead to a teacher certificate in Bilingual Education. In addition to the Common Requirements of the World Languages Education major, candidates select one of the language emphases, i.e., French, German, Latin, Russian, or Spanish, complete the courses associated with that emphasis and also the Common Requirements for all Emphases. Consequently, candidates also become eligible for teacher certification in the language selected as their language emphasis. Further, completers of this B.S. degree and option may also become eligible for the English as a Second Language (ESL) credential by completing six additional credits, i.e., APLNG 410 or APLNG 484, and APLNG 493.
Candidates are expected to have taken their choice of language coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in FR 201, or GER 201, or LATIN 400, or RUS 204, or SPAN 200. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in the chosen language each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL) TEACHING OPTION: This option will lead to a baccalaureate degree only in conjunction with one of the other companion World Language Education Teaching options.
The ESL Teaching option is a joint offering of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education and the Department of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies in the College of the Liberal Arts. Miryam Espinosa-Dulanto, Assistant Professor of Education and Applied Linguistics, and Joan Kelly Hall, Professor of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies and Education, are co-directors of the program.
This option prepares candidates for advanced work in ESL and for the Pennsylvania teacher credential Program Specialist: English as a Second Language (ESL). However, the Pennsylvania Department of Education only issues the Program Specialist: ESL credential to holders of Pennsylvania Instructional I or II certificates. Thus, completers of another World Languages Education Teaching option may first seek the Pennsylvania Instructional certificate in that language and may then add the Program Specialist: ESL credential, subsequently.
FRENCH TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in French. Candidates are expected to have taken French coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in FR 201. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in French each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
GERMAN TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in German. Candidates are expected to have taken German coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in GER 200. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in German each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is required, typically during semester six.
LATIN TEACHING OPTION: Completion of this option and pertinent tests required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education lead to the Pennsylvania Instructional I teacher certificate in Latin. Candidates are expected to have taken Latin coursework beyond the intermediate level to be eligible for enrollment in LATIN 400. In general, students are encouraged to take at least one course in Latin each semester without interruption. Participation in an approved Education Abroad Study Program is highly recommended, typically during semester six.
