Sept. 17,1986 New Degree Programs Added to Curriculum Three new degree programs have been added to the curriculum this fall. A study by University Park identified a need for a master’s degree program in recreation and parks. The program, offered through an effort of the Capital College’s Division of Behavioral Science and Education, and the University’s College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, is geared to people in this area who already are in the business, sleep. For instance, our HP-15C Professional Scientific Calculator has more built-in advanced math and statistical power than any other calculator. Our HP-41 Advanced Scientific Calculators have even more potential. PG12602 according to Diane Edwards, director of graduate admissions. Currently 19 students are enrolled. To accomodate their work schedule, only two evening courses per semester will be scheduled. Three options within the program are therapeutic recreation, which leads to National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certifica tion, management and administra tion of parks and recreation facilities, and commercial recrea tion. Tremendous growth in the number of computer science students within die past 10 years has led to the oil may be necessary. or 4:00 AM oil is absurd. Especially when an HP calculator can get the answers you want in time to get a good night’s Capital Times undergraduate computer science major, according to Dr. Susan Richman, chair of the math science program. In recent years, the computer studies option within the math science program has shown higher enrollment than the other options, thus the necessity for a distinct computer science program. In addition, the name is more descriptive to the outside world, helping to attract students and com municating more clearly the nature of the degree. The popularity of computer scien ces recently has resulted in over 600 students being enrolled at U- That’s because there are better than 2500 software packages available for them —more than for any other calculator. There’s even a special plug-in software package (we call it the Advantage Module) that’s designed to handle the specific problems an engineering student has to solve in his, or her, course work. No wonder professionals in engineering and the physical sciences widely regard JdP calculators as the best you can get. So check one out. Then, when your mother calls to ask if you’re getting enough sleep, you won’t have to lie. By the way, if you want more information, just give us a call at 800-FOR-HPPC. Ask for Dept.6sBC. HEWLETT K tBM PACKARD niversity Park, said Richman. The inclusion of this program in Penn State, Harrisburg curriculum will not only serve the overflow from the main campus, but also give student’s from community colleges an opportunity to continue in the field. The demand for graduates in criminal justice led to the under graduate program in that field within the Division of Public Policy. Like the computer studies (continued on pg. 6) Page
