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.

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

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.

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
